Question 1a – What is Knowledge Management?
DEFINITION 1:
A good operational definition of knowledge management is the deliberate introduction of an improved and more effective information environment. (Koenig, 1999, pg77)
What I do understand from the above definition, is that KM is a process where information is introduced so that efficiency improves in the environment that it is introduced
When it means deliberate, I am to assume it’s more like a teacher student environment - where the source of information comes from the teacher - and the information is absorbed by the students. In this process - knowledge is gained – from the student’s perspective. This teacher-student role is not confined just to schools and educational areas, but in organisations as well. A mentor or a supervisor takes on the role of a teacher to pass on the knowledge on how to perform certain tasks. Or it can be a weekly departmental meeting where information about something new is shared. The mentor or team leader would share a new information, or the members would share something that they have learnt the past week, that they would like to share it with others.
