In 2000 Bob was named as one of the top ten Most Admired Knowledge Leaders for world-class knowledge contributions to his company and to the emerging New Economies.

Quotation
  On becoming powerful through sharing your knowledge by Bob Buckman President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group

  On knowledge and magic by Bob Buckman President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group

  On sharing your knowledge and keeping your job by Bob Buckman President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group



Quotations from Bob Buckman:

 Over the years, man has taught himself to hoard knowledge to achieve power. Today, we have to reverse the tendency. Today, the most powerful individuals will be those who become a source of knowledge by sharing what they have, or what they can get their hands on, with others

Bob Buckman, President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group



 Knowledge is not very productive unless it moves in response to an issue, a problem or an opportunity. Then, it can create magic.

Bob Buckman, President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group



 Our approach (to KM) is far more than stick or carrot. We say, "Knowledge Sharing is your job. Do it!" As a reward you may keep your job.

Bob Buckman, President & Chairman, The Applied Knowledge Group
