Knowledge Management

by Ted Lewis

Description

The issue of Knowledge within a Business context is not new; what is different is that technology is revolutionizing the way people think and work.
For today's Managers, their driving force is understanding what they know and how fast they can use it. But Knowledge Management is more than software development, systems design or Information Technology; Managers must be able to focus on corporate memory and understanding and be able to communicate the corporate Knowledge across the Enterprise.
Knowledge is a collection of values and cognitive experiences; focusing on the needs of each individual. As such, Knowledge becomes embedded into the organizational culture.
