As discussed in the Knowledge page I was interested in???
The project axtract was thus: Knowledge Management is an imprecise term that covers a diverse and often conflicting set of knowledge taxonomies; the root of which is trying to understand the meaning of truth and knowing. Unfortunately it is term that most practitioners and theorists use as an umbrella term but many organizations have misconstrued the meaning and have implemented knowledge management initiatives that seek to ‘capture’ knowledge as an asset on IT systems then distribute and apply across the organization.
This dissertation will seek to highlight the many different knowledge types and the diverse approaches that can be deployed to create, store, transfer and apply knowledge within an organizational environment. To do this I will introduce a unified ‘knowledge cycle’ model that draws and blends many concepts of traditional knowledge models and apply it to a single organization that is the subject of the case study below.
The dissertation will conclude that the ‘Socially Constructed’ knowledge taxonomy that seeks to exploit people’s tacit knowledge is increasingly the approach that organizations should adopt in the post-industrial era of Social Capital. The lesson for IT practitioners is that they should act as orchestrators and stewards of knowledge and not as captors
