Knowledge management Knowledge management (KM) is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge.[1] It refers to a multi-disciplined approach to achieving organisational objectives by making the best use of knowledge.[2] An established discipline since 1991 (see Nonaka 1991), KM includes courses taught in the fields of business administration, information systems, management, and library and information sciences.[3][4] More recently, other fields have started contributing to KM research; these include information and media, computer science, public health, and public policy.[5] Columbia University and Kent State University offer dedicated Master of Science degrees in Knowledge Management.[6][7][8] History[edit] In 1999, the term personal knowledge management was introduced; it refers to the management of knowledge at the individual level.[14] Research[edit] Dimensions[edit] The Knowledge Spiral as described by Nonaka & Takeuchi.

Knowledge Management Tools The Momentum of Knowledge Management The Momentum of Knowledge Management Debra M. Amidon Founder and Chief Strategist, ENTOVATION® International The following paper summarises recent developments in the field of Knowledge Management. This article appeared in the May/June 1996 edition of Research-Technology Management, the journal for Industrial Research Institute (IRI). The Momentum of Knowledge Management What began almost 10 years ago - Knowledge Innovation® - has now reached the stage of a critical mass of insight. Although there has been a plethora of articles and books on the topic, the seminal cook-book (if there ever be such a thing) is only 'work-in-process.' Today, there is an emerging 'community of practice' which transcends any function, sector, industry or geography. transformation of the enterprise - profit or not-for-profit - through knowledge management. Collective findings are emerging: 1. 2. If it cannot be measured, it isn't considered of value. 3. . 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Conclusions The paradigm must shift.

i-KM Management des connaissances Monitoring knowledge (management): an impossible task? « The giraffe It isn’t an impossible task to monitor/evaluate (M&E) intangibles, knowledge or knowledge management (KM), but it requires a series of tough choices in a maze of possibles. This is what Simon Hearn and myself are discovering, trying to summarise, synthesise and build upon the two M&E of KM papers commissioned earlier, as well as the reflective evaluation papers by Chris Mowles. We are still at the stage of struggling very much with how to set the ballpark for our study. So this is a good opportunity to briefly share a blogpost I wrote recently about this very topic, and to share some preliminary thoughts. If we get to engage your views it would certainly help us to get going. In attempting to monitor knowledge and/or knowledge management, one can look at an incredible amount of issues. Among the factors that seem to impact on the design (and later implementation) of M&E of KM, I would identify: Do you have any suggestion about all this? Like this: Like Loading...

On Risk Management, Systemic Failures, and 'Black Swans: Rethinking Systemic Risk Management for Pre-empting Extreme Events aka 'Black Swans' & Systemic Failures: WWW Virtual Library on Knowledge Management and the Knowledge Management Think Tank Knowledge Management or Experience Management? One of our clients has contracted us to provide them with guidance into "Experience Management". The term "Experience Management is not a commonly defined term, so I was very interested to understand what they meant by the term (and they weren't talking about managing customer experience, which is a different field). It seems they have already investigated Knowledge Management, and have been provided with Knowledge Management solutions that deal with content management and the management of information. I think they are wisely navigating their way through the confusion around Knowledge Management; the confusion between knowledge and information, and between Knowledge Management and content management. On the one hand, according to Einstein, Knowledge is experience; everything else is information. On the other hand, there is a common model known as the DIKW model, which builds up through data and information, to knowledge, and then on to Wisdom. What does Experience Management look like?

Mapping the Knowledge Society | SocInfo As part of my work and research as a Google sponsored fellow at the Reuters Digital Vision program at Stanford University, and in cooperation with several colleagues from the private and social sectors and international organizations, we have developed a series of visual representations of processes, frameworks and ecosystems supporting the Knowledge Society and Human Development through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT4Dev). In putting together these conceptual maps, I have to acknowledge and thank the collaboration, feedback and suggestions from my Digital Vision friends and colleagues, in particular Steven Ketchpel, Margarita Quihuis, José Arocha, Mans Olof-Ors, and Sham Bathija. I hope these "maps" are of interest to others and can be put to use in the formulation of strategies for a significant impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the Sustainable Human Development processes and the construction of an equitave Knowledge Society.
