Abstract Knowledge management (KM), or the sharing of knowledge in an organization, is frequently described as a process that captures tacit knowledge and makes it explicit. However, the matter of human values in KM has often been ignored or forgotten in the knowledge management literature. The papers presented by this panel emphasize the importance of human values, trust, and emotion in establishing a climate for KM in the workplace. The speakers, from education and industry, present lessons learned from research and knowledge gained from practical experience in the field.
