KM and Learning organizations

Gautam turned me onto this blog. So... What IS up with HR and Knowledge Management?

I don't hesitate to wonder about HR's motivation when it comes to KM. Truly, when we talk about "strategic HR" and the fact that as we head into 20xx we face huge workforce knowledge issues as a generation retires. We also deal with this as training organizations. Everyone in HR is in a state of frenzy over the loss the senior managers and what we should do, from succession planning, to recruiting, and talent management. How is it that HR practitioners are so complacent about working with and networking with KM professionals? Do I give us all the benefit of the doubt and assume that there are not enough KM people in our organizations?
