The iKMS KM Excellence Awards are intended to surface examples of good knowledge management practice within Singapore, in any type of organization:

  • for the learning benefit of the professional KM community
  • to promote knowledge exchange among organizations that are already on a KM journey    
  • to build the confidence of organizations that are considering a KM journey


"Good knowledge management practice" means any KM effort that results in helpful learning in how to implement KM effectively, and that delivers some kind of tangible value to its implementing organization. Such examples can come from organization-wide KM or from smaller KM projects within a part of the organization.The iKMS KM Excellence Awards are not benchmarking awards. They do not measure or compare your progress with other organizations in your industry or field, nationally or internationally. They are intended simply to make good KM practice visible and to support the collective learning of the KM community in Singapore by finding and highlighting useful examples of positive KM impact.

Submissions should be sent to Ng Wai Kong and any enquiries should be directed to Patrick Lambe, Secretariat KM Excellence Awards.
