Dr Ann Hylton
Dr Ann Hylton is a KM consultant whose specialist area is the Knowledge Audit. She has been in the field professionaly for almost 10 years, since 1999 and is an internationally known knowledge auditor, author and trainer. She is the developer of the KeKma-Audit, a knowledge audit methodolgy, system and tool.
Concerning Kenya, Dr Hylton recently joined with BEAN CONSULTANTS, a small Kenya management consultancy firm of over 20 years experience, to spearhead her program called 'MOVING KENYA INTO THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY (2010)'. The two principals became acquainted when they were joint consultants on a Management Training Project.
Dr Hylton is quite familiar with Kenya, as during her recent 3-year break from the KM world, she was largely doing missionary work in a Nairobi (Kenya) slum area.
The 'MOVING KENYA INTO THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY (2010)' program will launch its first event in Nairobi, Kenya, on July 14th 2008. This event is a 2-day MasterClass of the same theme, which will focus on the important role of the Knowledge Audit in KM and in Kenya's Knowledge Economy drive.
This theme and vision of Moving (Kenya) into he Knowledge Economy is not new to Dr Hylton, as she had spearheaded a training program as far back as year 2001 called: 'Moving Africa into the Knowledge Economy', part of which had been supported by BusinessInAfrica Magazine(UK). At that time the focus was on 'Moving Nigeria into the Knowledge Economy', since BusinessInAfrica Magazine(UK) had its main Africa Office in Nigeria. Unfortunately that project was short-lived.
For Africa's sake, and for KM growth in Africa, it is hoped that this 'Moving Kenya into the Knowledge Economy 2010' initiative will be a success and that Kenya by 2010 will really have given birth to, (started), a New Economic Life truly driven by its people's knowledge.

Below is the information taken from the Brochure of the 'MOVING KENYA INTO THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY (2010' MasterClass, Nairobi July 14-15.
KENYA and The KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
Knowledge Management (KM) is virtually unknown in most of Africa, and where it is known, the knowledge is not put to use. Yet, Companies, NGOs, and Government Bodies are generally oblivious of this key, essential, indeed vital, element of business and people management.
The 21st century is best described as the Knowledge Economy Era. Yet, almost a decade into the 21st century, most of Africa, Kenya inclusive, is lagging far behind the rest of the world in understanding the impact of knowledge in this New Economic Era.
Kenya, with its enviable history of stability and remarkable economic growth despite recent troubles, urgently needs to leap into the New Economy, the Knowledge Economy.
This 2-Day Intensive MasterClass is the launch-pad for a wider program called: 'Moving Kenya into the Knowledge Economy 2010'. This 2010 vision is to see the healthy birth of Kenya as a declared Knowledge Economy in anticipation of its Vision 2030, already launched.
This 2010 sub-vision for Kenya is very achievable. Not least because the strategic and technical authority behind the vision is Dr. Ann Hylton one of the world's leading authority in knowledge management (KM). Dr. Hylton's specialist area is the Knowledge Audit.
The Knowledge Audit, which is the focus of this MasterClass, is the first stage of Knowledge Management implementation.
The training programme will be held under the auspices of BEAM Consultants renowned for customised Education Training and Management Consultancy.
