| Dear All, I was reading the latest issue of Inside Knowledge and found this interesting experience by some KMer: "No matter what type of organisation you support, anyone with a full time KM role should know that having such a title and responsibility often sets you apart from the others in the organisation (if you are a contractor or consultant, even more so). Regardless of your familiarity or former associations with the organisation, being the ‘knowledge manager’ changes how you are viewed. In many ways, you are the foreigner – they are the indigenous population – and although you might be able to gain some insight from traditional observations and surveys, it will not be enough to help you move the organisation forward." Do you or did you ever have such feelings working as a KM professional in your current or previous organization? I am feeling such right now in my current workplace- An Alien.
