TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The STC article includes the sentence: "He implements knowledge base
technology and holds activities that foster good communication and
leverages knowledge both within and outside the organization."
I am a native English speaker, and a technical communicator since 1997,
but I have no idea what that sentence means. Could someone rephrase it?
Thanks,
Dan

Well, feel free to ask my editor what it means! Suffice it to say we have some ardent editors here! Thank you for your feedback. I didn't think that implementing a knowledge base was too difficult to understand :-) Fostering good communication isn't difficult to comprehend if you're a TC :-)
Leveraging information means not reinventing the wheel but using content that is already developed. The entire article had a maximum word count. If you need more clarification (or on the article, in particular), however, feel free to e-mail me directly. I will be happy to respond.
My intent was to share a bit of information I have learned on KM with my peers :-) Please feel free to send a link of an article you have written, or post it here, as well :-) Perhaps others could benefit from your extensive knowledge and writing skills.
Yours,
Teri
