With the rapid development of information technology and the rise of knowledge economy, enterprises are aware of the importance of knowledge and have begun to actively explore how to effectively manage and utilize knowledge resources. KM Knowledge Management is designed to promote collaboration and learning within the organization by integrating, organizing, and disseminating knowledge, and to improve innovation and business performance. Whether it is a large multinational corporation or a small or medium-sized enterprise, KM has an important role to play and brings many benefits to the enterprise. This article will introduce the origin, implementation methods and some vendors of KM to help you better understand and apply knowledge management.
The concept of knowledge management (KM) originated in the 80s of the 20th century, in the past, organizations mostly relied on people's oral transmission and experience accumulation to transfer knowledge and solve problems. However, some early researchers began to explore the concept of knowledge management and put forward related theories, emphasizing that knowledge is an important resource, and organizations should promote the creation, acquisition, storage, sharing and application of knowledge through reasonable management means. Thus was born KM.
1.An important step in the implementation of knowledge management is to identify and classify the knowledge assets it has. This can be done through surveys and evaluations of internal and external knowledge resources. By identifying and categorizing key knowledge areas, organizations can better understand their knowledge assets and prepare them for subsequent knowledge management activities.
2.The ultimate goal of knowledge management is to transform knowledge into practical actions and values. To achieve this, companies should actively encourage employees to apply what they have learned in the real world and continuously optimize and improve the knowledge management process through practice and feedback. This ensures that the knowledge is actually put to use, resulting in more visible benefits and results.
3.Knowledge acquisition and creation refers to the acquisition of new knowledge through different means. Companies can gain new knowledge from internal and external sources through training, seminars, external collaborations, etc. At the same time, enterprises also need to actively encourage and support the creation and innovation of knowledge to further enrich the knowledge base and promote the development of the organization.
Privatized deployment: Through privatized deployment, organizations can deploy all sensitive data and business data on local servers on the intranet, thereby ensuring the stability of services and data security. This approach allows users to autonomously redevelop the system to meet the specific needs of the organization and is more scalable. Private deployments provide greater control and flexibility, enabling organizations to manage and protect data according to their own requirements while meeting a variety of compliance requirements. This model can provide organizations with greater security and data privacy protection, while ensuring the smooth running and continuous development of the business.
Knowledge & Process Integration: Unlike other document management systems on the market, it uniquely combines knowledge management with processes. Compared with common document management systems, it provides powerful process approval functions. This means that teams can easily approve and archive documents during the project process, while also supporting the approval of single or multiple documents.
The above is the origin of KM, the implementation method and the explanation of some manufacturers, I hope to help you better understand and apply knowledge management.
