Xenia Stanford
KnowMap Editor-in-Chief

Xenia Stanford (President, KnowMap) is currently the president and chief executive officer of Stanford Solutions Inc., devoted to empowering others to manage knowledge by using practical tools. Stanford's first training and use of knowledge mapping techniques was at universities where she was employed as a research officer in the field of education. After many years as a library and records manager, she became a Change Leader involved in re-organizational design and process restructuring. Throughout her career in business and now as president of her own company, she has helped corporations save millions of dollars.

Born and raised in Alberta with the exception of two years of her childhood in British Columbia, Stanford has studied at several universities and conducted research into learning effectiveness at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada and Macquarie University in North Ryde, Australia. She taught students from nearly every grade including pre-school and university. The teaching locations included the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia as well as Australia and Fiji. Work and personal travels have taken her to several other provinces in Canada, various states in Australia and the United States (including Hawaii) and several countries in mainland Europe.

Stanford has a Bachelor of Education degree and has completed course work for Master's degrees in several disciplines, including literature and linguistics, library science and management. She has published many articles and conducted many workshops on the subject of knowledge management and the techniques of mapping and auditing. She wrote a Web column on leadership, and won an international writing contest for her article "Delighting the Customer." Her research into the areas of knowledge mapping and auditing is ongoing, and her constantly improving courses reflect the benefit of her continuous learning. She now brings that learning to her latest venture: KnowMap.

She has the honour of being placed on the Global Knowledge Leadership Map and to lead a session at Global Learn Day V dubbed the Virtual Dinner Party on The Education Scare: The Monster is Out There!.
