Curriculum development and design is informed by the voice of the discipline as an institution, the voice of the world of work for whom we train, the voice of the students including their motivation, aspirations and prior knowledge, and the voice of the academic as a researcher and an educator. These voices are influenced by the past, present and possibilities of the potential future. Reflecting on the disruptions that knowledge managers experienced over the past few years resulted in analysing the knowledge management curriculum that needs to skill and capacitate graduates as knowledge managers in a progressively demanding future towards Society 5.0. The purpose of this panel is to stimulate discussion in terms of the curriculum needed to sufficiently prepare knowledge managers to meet the growing demands of Society 5.0 by acknowledging the lessons learned from our past in order to prepare our students for their future.
