Knowledge ecology is akin to ecology in the natural world, where information is tracked through its origins and flow within an organization. It involves not only monitoring the actual information flows but also creating an environment where information can flow easily, allowing people to act with intelligence and agency. A healthy organizational ecology is crucial for the agility and adaptability of an organization.
