Introduction

Columbia University’s Information and Knowledge Strategy (IKNS) program is for business leaders across all sectors, designed to help them align business strategy with knowledge strategy, and to design and build information and collaboration products that drive growth and enable success. The program leverages interdisciplinary strategies and draws on a strong network of scholar-practitioners who have defined the knowledge practice field and pioneered its practice.

Thanks to Kate Pugh, the outgoing academic director, I have been a guest lecturer in the program, presenting at three of the spring residencies in New York (see my presentations below) and through webinars. This connection is significant to me because of my parents’ history with Columbia.

My dad, Sol L. Garfield (co-editor of the first four editions of the Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change) was Director of Clinical Training (DCT) for the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University from 1964 to 1970. We celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth on January 8, 2018.

My mom, Amy Nusbaum Garfield, earned her Reading Specialist M.A. at Columbia. Here is a picture of my parents.

Following are profiles of many of the faculty and other guest lecturers who are thought leaders in the field of knowledge management.

Kate and I have been friends for a long time. We met at a Working Knowledge Research Center conference at Babson College, when she was at Intel and I was at HP. I invited her to attend a debate between Tom Davenport and Larry Prusak at HP, when she was as Fidelity. Kate has been kind enough to invite me to present at numerous IKNS events. She has been a frequent presenter on SIKM Leaders Community calls, at the Midwest KM Symposium, and other events such as the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. Kate started the SIKM Boston chapter, and is a regular connector, convener, and contributor.
