Case Study Cafe 2: US Department of Defense and National Sports Institute Malaysia

In this case study cafe we will look at two case studies:

• Development of Rapid KM Capability in a US Joint Task Force, presented by Brett Patron.
• Reshaping the Knowledge Management Expedition at National Sports Institute Malaysia (ISN), presented by Syarifah Fathynah Binti Syed Shiekh.

All participants will have access to the case study details in advance of this Case Study Cafe. The materials will be posted on this page about a week before the event. Each 1 hour session of the Cafe will begin with a very short recap of the case study by the case presenter, and then the floor will be opened to questions and discussion. Please review the case materials in advance of the session, so that we can explore the case in more depth during the session.

This Case Study Cafe will be facilitated by Patrick Lambe.
