	KM concepts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge management discourse has adopted, invented and refined concepts from a wide range of disciplines and practices.
		Here is a selection of core concepts that help bound KM, which has historically proved difficult to define.
		KM plays a role in mapping, recording, evaluating, stewarding, marketing and growing intellectual capital and knowledge assets.

	Knowledge management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge management or KM can refer to the technology, techniques, or social practices for organizing and collecting "knowledge" so that it is applied at an appropriate time or place.
		There is nothing essentially new in the basic concept of managing knowledge, even though as a new discipline it has emerged only recently and, given its newness is still developing its theoretical home.
		Organizational Knowledge management (KM) is the creation, organization, sharing and flow of knowledge in organizations.

		Concepts can be any unit of thought or a mental image formed by generalization.
		A concept is an abstract, universal psychical entity that serves to designate a category or class of entities, events or relations.
		Finding the real KM One of the difficulties with knowledge management has always been deciding exactly what it is, what it covers, why it is important and where the discourse boundaries lie.

	ICASIT: Knowledge Management Concepts and Practice
		KM seems ready to evolve into a robust body of concepts and practices that will be taught far beyond business schools.
		KM practitioners began to be identified in the early 90's (for example, [13]), and by 1994 many articles addressed the importance of the individual employee's knowledge as opposed to the company's databases and reports (for example, [2]).
		This segment in a KM course could be integrated with others, but it is useful to devote some time to the role of regional culture and tradition in the development of KM programs.

	KM in Education: KM Concepts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		KM is essentially about getting the right knowledge to the right people in the right place at the right time.
		One of the best KM success stories took place at British Petroleum where critical technical knowledge was quickly accessed by remote teams to rapidly resolve costly problems.
		The responsibility of KM practitioners in education is not about simply building repositories of best practices, but to work with educators and schools to identify where and when they need critical knowledge and how best to get that knowledge to them in the easiest, fastest, and probably cheapest way possible.

		As KM emerged into a discipline in academia as well a strategic function in organizations and the role of the CKO emerged as an important role in the process, I recognized the significance of this area as a field of study.
		KM concepts seem to float in a jello-like environment without form, density, or direction making it difficult for practitioners to grasp key KM concepts.
		This is what KM is—putting the right knowledge in touch with the right people and this is important for two reasons—saving lives and saving a very expensive piece of government equipment for the taxpayer.

		Information is a word which has many different meanings in everyday usage and in specialized contexts, but as a rule, the concept is closely related to others such as data, instruction, knowledge, meaning, communication, representation, and mental stimulus.

		KM is being exploding towards numerous areas, each searcher or practician cultivating his own garden; in our opinion, the principal feature of KM is unpartitionning the various disciplines.
		I’m suggesting that current KM practitioners should consider the opportunities arising from the idea that technology management is indeed knowledge management, but more precisely it is managing the knowledge of the techniques used by a company or other organisational form to achieve the results it desires, whatever they are.
		A technology of KM is the knowledge of the techniques currently used, or others that are of potential use and yet to be identified, by KM practitioners to manage the knowledge of techniques used by the company.

		Certainly KM concepts are imbedded in much of this compliance-oriented infrastructure, but the sell was for the most part not a KM sell.
		With many of the benefits of KM thinking already incorporated into organizations' infrastructures, unwittingly or otherwise, it was clear at the conference that KM now has many of the levers in place to address the changes to institutional culture that were always at the heart of the movement from its inception.
		KM will never fade away altogether from the content technology arena, but its real contributions are going to be in shaping the management habits and techniques of people who use publishing technology more than the technology itself.

		"KM for your company will never be the same as the KM you hear about in other companies, so you need to do lots of iterations to learn as you go," says Sam Marshall, KM specialist at a global European-based consumer goods company that he won't identify.
		KM veteran Tom Davenport, professor and director of research at the School of Executive Education at Babson College, calls this "baked-in" KM.
		One way to ensure initial support for KM concepts is to start by embedding knowledge into your organization's most important knowledge-oriented role, then expand to the next most important role and so on.

		“Items 1,2, 3 and 6 of the faulty KM perceptions on Matthew Parsons’ list do imply that all knowledge within a firm is useful knowledge, when in fact knowledge to one individual is simply information to another.
		In reality, when technology is used to enable KM one must give thought to the correlating change in process and culture.
		KM initiatives will continue to be a disappointment until every single member of a firm actively participates in its development and deployment — from the managing partner to the receptionist.”

	Bloug: KM Reinventing IA Reinventing KM
		KM is also very concerned with a larger picture (business intelligence, the extension of a supply chain, etc) and the role of IA inside that may be perceived as a distributed responsibility as it is part of a larger goal.
		KM is missing contextual design examination, which should them be echoed in any process used to capture, coordinate, and reconvey information.
		Well, yes, KM is a field of practice just like IA. While in the US it seems to be dominated by vendors, elsewhere there is a thriving field encompassing a lot of theory, and a modest amount of practical techniques.

		In recent years, the term “knowledge management”; (KM), which is the merging of a company's human and technical knowledge assets from the supply chain to customer service/feedback, has become such an ill-defined concept that it risks becoming nothing more than an overused buzzword.
		"KM is a discipline for implementing a business process that helps you to extract maximum value out of your knowledge assets or your intellectual assets," said French Caldwell, an analyst with GartnerGroup.
		Driving many KM successes have been CIOs who have switched their emphasis from the technical side of data management to becoming active players in shaping corporate cultures.

		In our organization today, the word KM is hardly used, however, the concepts of KM are being incorporated by the organization.

		He is also founder of the Global One KM Forum, a loosely joined group of employees aimed at sharing KM insights, techniques and literature for discussion and implementation throughout Global One.
		But once I describe the concept of KM as an effort to retain, analyze and organize employee expertise to make it available to the organization (Stuart, 1998), the same people believe KM could be of interest to companies.
		These concepts of tacit and explicit knowledge remain key building blocks in KM evolution and account for substantial amounts of discussion in recent papers (Ghoshal and Nahapiet, 1998; Warren, 1999; Brown and Woodland, 1999; Hill and Storck, 2000).
