Knowledge management (KM) refers to a multi-disciplinary approach to achieving organizational objectives by effectively utilizing knowledge. KM involves people management, process management, information management, and explicit and tacit forms of knowledge. The key components of a KM system include knowledge generation, identification, delivery, and storage as well as a supportive culture, skills, leadership, structure, and technology. Benefits of KM include increased collaboration, reduced loss of intellectual capital, decreased costs, improved productivity, and greater innovation.

4. Sharing knowledge, a company creates exponential benefits from the knowledge as people learn from it Building better sensitivity to “brain drain” Reacting instantly to new business opportunities Ensuring successful partnering and core competencies with suppliers, vendors, customers, and other constituents Shortens the learning curve

19. The value of KM It is important to manage knowledge assets because – Organizations compete increasingly on the base of knowledge (the only sustainable competitive advantage, according to some) Most of our work is information based (and often immersed in a computing environment) Our products, services, and environment are more complex than ever before Workforces are increasingly unstable leading to escalating demands for knowledge replacement/acquisition

20. The sources of KM Today, KM draws from a wide range of disciplines/practices – Cognitive science Groupware, AI, KBMS Library and information science Document management Decision support systems Technical writing Organizational science Many

21. Benefits anticipated Increase in collaboration, conversation amongst the employees Making the experts expertise available throughout the organization. Reduce loss of intellectual capital from people leaving the company. Reduce cost by decreasing and achieving economies of scale. Minimize redundancy of knowledge-based activities Increase productivity by making knowledge available more quickly and easily Promote innovations Give equal opportunities to all the individuals to express and share their knowledge.

22. THE DRIVERS Technology Drivers. Process Drivers Personnel-Specific Drivers Knowledge-Related Drivers Financial Drivers

23. STRATEGIES rewards (as a means of motivating for knowledge sharing) storytelling (as a means of transferring tacit knowledge) cross-project learning after action reviews knowledge mapping (a map of knowledge repositories within a company accessible by all) communities of practice expert directories (to enable knowledge seeker to reach to the experts) [edit]

24. Strategies best practice transfer knowledge fairs competence management (systematic evaluation and planning of competences of individual organization members) proximity & architecture (the physical situation of employees can be either conducive or obstructive to knowledge sharing) master-apprentice relationship collaborative technologies (groupware, etc.) knowledge repositories (databases, bookmarking engines, etc.) measuring and reporting intellectual capital (a way of making explicit knowledge for companies) knowledge brokers (some organizational members take on responsibility for a specific "field" and act as first reference on whom to talk about a specific subject) social software (wikis, social bookmarking, blogs, etc.)

25. Motivations Making available increased knowledge content in the development and provision of products and services Achieving shorter new product development cycles Facilitating and managing innovation and organizational learning Leveraging the expertise of people across the organization Increasing network between internal and external individuals Managing business environments and allowing employees to obtain relevant insights and ideas appropriate to their work Solving intractable or wicked problems Managing intellectual capital and intellectual assets in the workforce (such as the expertise and know-how possessed by key individuals)
