Harnessing the Power of Knowledge Management Part 2: Learning Object Management
Author: Alex G.
We’re back with Part 2 in our series on Harnessing the Power of Knowledge Management. If you missed Part 1 on Taxonomy Management, you can read it here.
When an association crafts a body of knowledge, they are implicitly setting up a system of interrelated principles, competencies, terms, and other concepts.
This is a great start to building a content universe! We now know the building blocks that connect everything inside. This is what we talk about when we discuss creating taxonomic hierarchies in Harnessing the Power of Knowledge Management Part 1: Taxonomy Management.
But now that we know how to relate objects to one another, we need the objects themselves. Enter learning objects.
What are Learning Objects?
Learning objects are pieces of content that learners interact with to gain the required knowledge and specialization they need in their field.
For example, HC maintains the following objects for our associations:
Now, before we begin tracking every single item a learner could possibly interact with, it’s important to first understand why we are tracking these objects in the first place.

Thriving Through Unity: Three Key Takeaways from the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition
Author: Kelly Quinn
Earlier this month, I attended ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership 's Annual Meeting & Exposition. This has quickly become one of my favorite conferences, primarily because of the incredible opportunities to create new connections and reconnect face-to-face with those I’ve worked with in the past to help drive association member engagement and certification growth.
This year, the conference was centered around the theme “In Unity, We Thrive!” This powerful theme underscores the importance of collaboration and connection within the professional association industry. As I reflect on my conference experience, three things stick out to me that showcase this spirit of unity and growth.
In today’s interconnected world, forging new relationships is crucial for both personal and organizational growth. The conference provided numerous opportunities to expand my network with incredible association professionals and groups including the Professionals for Association Revenue (PAR) community.
At the PAR reception, I got the chance to speak with industry leaders and innovators, discussing emerging trends and potential collaborations. These connections opened doors to exciting possibilities:
The wide range of connections made – from education technology firms to association management experts – reinforced the underlying thread of unity in driving innovation and growth. (You’ll see this thread a lot in my recap!) In my 17+ years working with associations through Holmes Corporation, I’ve seen this “growth through relationships” first-hand. When we create mutually beneficial and trusted partnerships, we can solve challenges and reach far greater goals than we could alone.
Key Lesson: Actively seek out and nurture new connections. ?These relationships can lead to innovative solutions and mutual growth opportunities.

Together, they discuss how academic, corporate, and for-profit training partners, from various industries, work with professional associations to deliver training and certification preparation. And, in turn, how a multi-channel training approach helps associations grow their programs, while also helping associations add value to their training partners.
