Master Certified Knowledge Management Professional (MKMP):
The Knowledge Management Professional Society (KMPro) has announced the name of its member who has completed KMPro Master Certified Knowledge Management Professional (MKMP) certification after completing MKMP qualifications. The MKMP designation is awarded by KMPro to experienced practitioners in the field of Knowledge Management (KM) based upon demonstration of practical application of knowledge management.
To earn this designation, each MKMP candidate must first complete a KMPro CKM certification workshop, then qualify for the KMPro Certified Knowledge Management Professional (CKMP) certification by successfully applying the concepts learned during the KMPro CKM certification workshop in completing a knowledge management project, and then providing documentation of that project completion to KMPro.
After completing each of the above requirements (CKM and CKMP certifications), each KMPro MKMP certification candidate then submits documentation demonstrating that they have at least three years experience (post completion of their CKM certification) in successful knowledge management implementation, along with verification documentation including KM project information and organizational documentation of positions held.
A qualified KMPro Knowledge Management Certification Board (KMCB)® reviewer then reviewed all the documentation received from a candidate to determine if all requirements have been met, with recommendation for approval being made to KMPro’s board of directors who then made final approval of all candidates.
We congratulate the following member who has attained MKMP status – the certification that recognizes demonstrated competency in the Knowledge Management profession:
