Australian Law Librarian, (2004) Vol 12, No. 2

Gretta Rusanow has succeeded in writing a knowledge management book that is full of practical and helpful ideas that are matched with realistic and persuasive case studies.

Rusanow has written numerous articles on knowledge management and is a frequent guest speaker on the topic. With a background in precedent management and consulting, she is now the Chief Executive of Curve Consulting, a firm that specialises in advising law firms and legal departments on knowledge management.

In 2001, Rusanow undertook a comparative study of the knowledge management approach of law firms in Australia, the U.K. and U.S. to identify some of the key issues in advancing knowledge management in law firms. This was one of the first comparative studies that focussed on law firms, and although brief, it served to fill a gap in quality analysis of law firm knowledge management.
