Abstract: Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) was developed as a workshop for students in MBA programs at The Anderson School at UCLA. The Anderson School's MBA programs present significant challenges to incoming students: a heavy workload, limited time, extensive and diverse informational resources, and an advanced technological environment that includes a laptop requirement for each entering student. The workshop aimed to teach students practical methods for managing their work and school-related activities and meeting the challenges of a rigorous academic environment. Feedback and input from professionals helped further develop and refine the PKM approach to meet the needs of audiences both inside and outside the academic environment. PKM is a strategy for managing your information in our thethis information intense environment of todayís society where information overload is an intrinsic problem. Implementing this strategy will reduces the negative effects of information overload, while facilitating decision-making, problem solving and knowledge acquisition. (endnote: For the purposes of this paper, we will consider data, information, knowledge and wisdom as different. Let's assume we begin with data, add context to get information, add understanding to get knowledge, and add judgement (values) to get wisdom.)
