Always a step ahead
Knowledge Management (KM) comprises a range of strategies and practices used in
an organization to identify, create,represent, distribute, and enable adoption
of insights and experiences. Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge,
either embodied in individuals or embedded in organizational processes or
practice An established discipline since 1991, KM includes courses taught in the
fields of business administration, information systems,management, and library
and information sciences. More recently, other fields have started contributing
to KM research; these include information and media, computer science, public
health, and public policy. Many large companies and non-profit organizations
have resources dedicated to internal KM efforts, often as a part of their
'business strategy', 'information technology', or 'human resource management'
departments (Addicott, McGivern & Ferlie 2006). Several consulting companies
also exist that provide strategy and advice regarding KM to these organizations.
Knowledge Management efforts typically focus on organizational objectives such
as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of
lessons learned, integration and continuous improvement of the organization. KM
efforts overlap with organizational learning, and may be distinguished from that
by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a
focus on encouraging the sharing of knowledge. KM efforts can help individuals
and groups to share valuable organizational insights, to reduce redundant work,
to avoid reinventing the wheel per se, to reduce training time for new
employees, to retain intellectual capital as employees turnover in an
organization, and to adapt to changing environments and markets.
