Deep dives

The importance of creating knowledge to make informed decisions

Knowledge management is the capability of individuals and teams to process available data and information and make decisions that create value. It is not just about memorizing facts, but about having the capability to make informed choices. In the context of firefighting, for example, having access to key information through technology, such as smartphones and apps, can help firefighters make better decisions on the field. Knowledge management also involves promoting a culture of continuous learning and sharing, where individuals can draw on their collective expertise and experiences. By combining knowledge generation and access to relevant information, organizations can empower individuals to make effective decisions and take appropriate actions.
