Studies of KM Market and Employment Trends #question
|
I received this question. Can anyone respond? Thanks.
>Do you know of any studies about market or employment trends in KM or for KM workers? I’ve seen a few but they’re always the ones from the big market research firms and I’m never quite sure how good they are.

Stan,
APQC conducted a survey in 2019. The survey included 400 KM executives and practitioners. For what its worth:

Thanks, Nick, for this thorough and enlightening research. I find your assumptions and method reasonable and credible, given the dearth of more empirical data on this. (Don’t any government agencies or trade groups collect this important employment data?)
Have you done any vertical analysis, i.e., by industrial sectors? Or even by gross categories like businesses, nonprofits, and government? My sense is that “knowledge managers” tend to cluster disproportionally in the latter two – though my “evidence” for this is purely anecdotal.
Regards,
Tim

Hi Tim
No I haven’t done such a study, largely due to the inability to search (or filter searches) on Linked-in by vertical segment.
However when I took 40 “Knowledge Manager”s at random from Linked-in, 20 of them were from the legal sector.
Also when I looked at the people who had requested a copy of our global KM survey, a large chunk of these were from the US legal sector (see http://www.nickmilton.com/2018/07/more-data-on-global-km-market.html).
Hope this helps, Nick

Thanks, Nick, yes, this is very interesting. Law, it seems to me, is a textbook example of a “pure knowledge” profession – one with huge potential gains from sound practices.
And thanks again for your huge and ongoing contributions to our understanding of the knowledge field(s) from a macro perspective.
Best,
Tim
