DESCRIPTION:The EPSRC/ESRC-funded Knowledge and Information Management Thr
 ough Life (KIM) project was concerned with knowledge and information manag
 ement issues for long-lived product-service programmes.  Eleven university
  groups and companies from a number of industrial sectors participated in 
 the project\, which ran from 2005 to early 2009.  It involved an ambitious
  programme of research exploring issues concerned with the sustainable rep
 resentation of the product\, the process by which it has been designed and
  the rationale behind design decisions.\nstrategies and techniques for the
  active ‘curation’ of the knowledge associated with how the understand
 ing of products and their impact on users develops throughout product life
 .\nthe understanding of social processes in knowledge management for examp
 le in the organisation and governance of companies in the product-service 
 supply chain.\nThe underlying rationale for the project was that knowledge
  management problems cannot be solved purely with information technology\,
  and that social processes have to be understood and incorporated into any
  strategies deployed.\n\nThe presentation will give an overview of the out
 puts of the project and will then try to identify some key questions that 
 have emerged from the project as a guide for future research.
