I was very pleased to hear from my good friend and work colleague, Dr. Serafin D. Talisayon, this morning.

He announced that The Asian Productivity Organization today released a new free KM e-book entitled “From Productivity to Innovation: Proceedings from the Second International Conference on Technology and Innovation for Knowledge Management.” The conference was held in New Delhi, India last 12–14 February 2008.
