A Tale Rarely Told

Brief Bio
Karl-Erik is often described as one of the”founding fathers” of knowledge management due to his seminal works during the early ”Nordic KM movement” in the 1980’s, such as Managing Know-How (w. Tom Lloyd) Bloomsbury 1987; The Invisible Balance Sheet (w. the Konradgroup) Affärsvärlden 1990, and; the world’s first book titled Knowledge Management, (Sw. Kunskapsledning) Affärsvärlden 1990. He was appointed Professor in Knowledge Management at Hanken in 2001 and Emeritus in 2013. Previous appointments include honorary professorships at Queensland University of Technology, Griffith university, Macquarie Graduate School of Management in Australia and Hongkong Polytechnic University. He is on the editorial board of Journal of Intellectual Capital and has been on Management Decision, among others. He has published a.o. in journals such as Journal of Knowledge Management, Leadership, Sustainable Development and written 13 books among them the bestseller The New Organizational Wealth Berret-Koehler 1997 and the co-edited Challenging the Innovation Paradigm Routledge 2012. Most of his books and articles can be downloaded free from www.sveiby.com. Unlike most academics, he has been a manager, among others a co-owned publishing house, which became Sweden´s largest in financial and trade press. He has consulted worldwide and developed a wide range of tools that help managers and consultants implementing IC and KM concepts in practice, among them the Intangible Assets Monitor and Tango (w. Klas Mellander), the business simulation that helps managers experience how to create value from knowledge. His mission is to help organisations become better for people.
