What is Knowledge Management?
Definitions change everyday. Some definitions fall out of fashion, other stick in popular language an eternity. Yet with Knowledge Management, no one seems to agree on a standard definition. It’s as if the phrase itself is morphing to conform to the global landscape and technological shifts taking place before our very eyes…
And how would explain KM to someone, if they should ask me? I’m not really sure. Perhaps the easiest way would be to provide an explicit example that everyone can understand. I would chose Google because everyone under 40 (assuming of course) is probably aware of the mavericks of the search industry! And then I would proceed to ask the questioner a question. Why do you think Google works so well?? Voila…KM defined under 10 minutes.
