Knowledge management is a very dry and vague subject. Reading loads of theories without getting to know how Knowledge management works in real firms is not fun. Fortunately, our Professor took efforts to invite Mr. Raghunath, Chief Knowledge Officer, Wipro Technologies for Monday’s session. Some things became clear after listening to him first-hand. But still, lot of questions floating in the air. KM is still evolving. It’s tight dependance on complex human behaviour makes the topic even more delicate!

Some interesting observation. I came to know about 2 roles in CXO Category today. Chief Knowledge officer, Chief Quality Officer. While reading a case on “PepsiCo”, came to know about another role called “Chief Transformation officer”. On the other day, while I was listening to a talk from Baxter Personnel, I came to know about “Chief Human resource officer”. This got me curious and pushed me to explore the possible roles in ‘CXO’ category…

Thanks to Google…Below is a comprehensive list! Except for ‘Y’, every damn alphabet has a role in ‘CXO’ category…Interesting! Let’s imagine a role for the missing ‘Y’…how about ‘Chief Yawning officer’
