I have over 30 years’ experience working in high technology industries. Today I work as an independent knowledge educator and coach helping people in organizations to share their knowledge more freely; to be more creative and innovative and to work more effectively together.
I am the founder of the Gurteen Knowledge Community - a global learning network of over 14,000 people in 153 countries. The community is for people who are committed to making a difference: people who wish to share and learn from each other and who strive to see the world differently, think differently and act differently. Members receive the monthly Gurteen Knowledge-Letter that is now in its 7th year.
I publish the Gurteen Knowledge Website - a resource website for my community that contains book reviews, articles, people profiles, an event calendar, inspirational quotations, an integral knowledge-log and more on subjects that include, knowledge management, learning, creativity, innovation and personal mastery.
I am a frequent speaker and facilitator and regularly present on various aspects of knowledge management and learning. I am well known for my knowledge cafés that I run regularly in London and in other cities around the world. I also facilitate in-house knowledge cafés for organizations and runs conferences and workshops.
For most of my corporate life I was a professional software development manager and in the late 80s worked for Lotus Development as "International Czar" where I was responsible for ensuring that Lotus products were designed for the global marketplace. This was one of the most rewarding and fun times of my career.
Video: BLU Lesson 6: A little about my background by David Gurteen
One of six BLU lessons where I talk a little about my background.
In April 2005, BLU, the UK's Business Link University which no longer exists hired Fifty Lessons to produce a series of video stories for them to which I (David Gurteen) was invited to contribute. This is one of those stories.

of over 17,000 people in 160 countries across the world.
The community is for people who are committed to making a difference:
people who wish to share and learn from each other and who strive to see
