I advocate knowledge-based development and KM for poverty eradication, in addition to developing appropriate KM tools for clients in the international, public and private sectors. I believe that KM can help policy-makers and decision-makers better understand and manage organizations, networks and national economies amidst the changes in the global knowledge economy.

My past KM engagements/consultancies are in assisting clients in the following areas:
> Selecting and implementing a KM project appropriate to a workplace problem or organizational objective
> Formulating and implementing a KM strategy and program
> Training in KM, both in theory and in practice
> Undertaking KM research and writing/editing results

My past and current KM clients include:
> International Labour Organization, Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (Bangkok)
> IBM Philippines
> UN Deveopment Programme (Manila and Phnom Penh, Cambodia)
> World Bank (Manila)
> Asian Development Bank
> Colombo Plan Staff College
> Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry
> Baganuur Joint Stock Company (Mongolia)

> Ambedkar Institute of Productivity (Chennai, India)
> World Health Organization, Western Pacific Regional Office
> SEAMEO Regional Centre for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture
> Various projects of the following bilateral development institutions: CIDA, IDRC, GTZ and AusAid

My current positions:
