Creating top-quality knowledge management (KM) articles

Knowledge management (or KM for short) is the process of creating, sharing, using, and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. By doing KM better, organisations perform better, creating better outcomes for customers, clients, employees, managers, and shareholders.

Established in August 2015, not-for-profit RealKM is the publisher of the popular and highly regarded RealKM Magazine. The founding objective of RealKM was to share “high-value knowledge management research through concise, practically-oriented articles” to a knowledge management (KM) practitioner and broader management audience that is often time-poor and lacks exposure to research evidence.

A large and continually growing readership

RealKM has resoundingly achieved its founding objective, and continues to do so. Illustrating RealKM’s significant impact, visits to the RealKM website increased a further 12% over the past year, and RealKM now has more than 8,000 subscribers and followers. Many of the now more than 1,600 RealKM articles have been viewed many hundreds or even thousands of times, and in February 2022, RealKM reached the highly significant milestone of one million total article views.

RealKM has also gone well beyond its founding objective to support other important aspects of KM capability improvement. This includes leadership and support in regard to emerging initiatives that are shaping the future of KM.

Join us in making a significant contribution to global KM

The financial support of the passionate and generous RealKM Patrons is pivotal to RealKM's ongoing success. But to viably and sustainably continue our valuable work into the future, we need to substantially broaden our current financial support base.

Our readers and supporters have the opportunity to become our patrons, donating whatever they would like on a recurring monthly basis, from just USD $1/month upwards.

By becoming our patron, you can make a significant contribution to KM, and to the many customers, clients, employees, managers, and shareholders who benefit from improved KM. 

How we'll use the money

Our "run" goal is to raise $1500/month. This will cover our website hosting and e-newsletter cost, and more of Bruce Boyes' currently mostly voluntary hours as our part-time editor and lead writer.

Our "sprint" goal is to raise $3000/month. This will take us to the next level of being able to increase Bruce Boyes' paid hours, as well as pay other writers and content producers. This will mean more articles, including more in-depth feature articles, and more video content.

Thank you!

You, our prized readers and supporters, have made RealKM Magazine the success that it is today. Thank you for making this possible, and for hopefully joining us as a patron as we continue RealKM Magazine's journey into the future!
