Challenges on the way to new knowledge – which potentially contradicts existing knowledge – are identified. Personal knowledge management is defined and core topics are described. Corresponding methods and tools are assigned to these core areas of personal knowledge development. Practical consequences for management development and education are drawn. Methodology: Results from expert interviews have been used to select relevant fields of research and literatures. These research paths have been analyzed and integrated to identify a comprehensive definition of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and to identify core topics and adequate methodsenText/Conference Paper
