New Challenge

Hello All,
I have joined TCS and these days I'm at trivandrum undergoing my training. But since I have joined something is pondering me.

WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS REQD FOR A KM CONSULTANT?

It's a challenge for me because now.. away from academics and research this seems to be big question..what are the skill that i need to develop, soft/technical?

Inviting comments from all the practitioneers. I request all of you to help me form an opinion about the same. I will also request you to kindly encourage other KM practitioneers/interested people to join this forum and constribute heartily. They may reach me at sarup.paul@gmail.com.

Cheers
Sarup Paul
