Defining Knowledge Management

Knowledge management (KM) encompasses strategies and processes designed to identify, capture, structure, value, leverage, and share intellectual assets within organizations to enhance performance and competitiveness. Its definition has evolved to include not only technical processes but also the essential roles of people, culture, and technology in effective knowledge management. The inclusion of culture emphasizes the need to capture, share, and manage information in a way that aligns with an organization’s values, thus providing a holistic view of KM. This broader definition allows organizations to better assess the business value of their KM efforts, especially regarding how these efforts contribute to improved performance metrics.
