The Essence of Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management: A trans-disciplinary approach to improving organisational outcomes and learning, through maximising the use of knowledge. It involves the design, implementation and review of social and technological activities and processes to improve the creating, sharing, and applying or using of knowledge. Knowledge management is concerned with innovation and sharing behaviours, managing complexity and ambiguity through knowledge networks and connections, exploring smart processes, and deploying people-centric technologies.
( this is the statement in the Australian KM Standard that was put together over a long time by a diverse group of people)

KM is a practice concerned with increasing awareness, fostering learning, speeding collaboration & innovation and exchanging insights.

There is a delicate balance to be maintained between explicit and tacit, between personal and community, between collecting assets and enabling flows, between looking inward and externally, between mining and capturing emergent insights and building on shared experiences.
