What is Knowledge Management
(KM) ?
|
|
Knowledge Management is a
concept in which an organization leverages it’s collective wisdom to
increase
responsiveness, efficiency and productivity. KM enables an enterprise to
gather, organize and share its
knowledge in terms of resources, documents and people skills. It is a
cost saving process that enhances
performance.
Gartner group, defines KM as “a discipline that promotes an integrated
approach to identifying, categorizing,
retrieving and sharing organizational information assets.”
Studies suggest that more than 80% knowledge of a professional service
organization is stored in documents.
These documents that can be stored as your standard formats, templates,
letter formats, policies, procedures
and other valuable information are referred to as knowledge documents.
For us, knowledge management
signifies the use of computer technology to organize, manage, and make
available the knowledge documents, customized to meet the needs of each user.
