The Value of Knowledge Management

Some benefits of KM correlate directly to bottom-line savings, while others are more difficult to quantify. In today's information-driven economy, companies uncover the most opportunities — and ultimately derive the most value — from intellectual rather than physical assets. To get the most value from a company's intellectual assets, KM practitioners maintain that knowledge must be shared and serve as the foundation for collaboration. Yet better collaboration is not an end in itself; without an overarching business context, KM is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. Consequently, an effective KM program should help a company do one or more of the following:

Foster innovation by encouraging the free flow of ideas


Improve decision making


Improve customer service by streamlining response time


Boost revenues by getting products and services to market faster


Enhance employee retention rates by recognizing the value of employees' knowledge and rewarding them for it


Streamline operations and reduce costs by eliminating redundant or unnecessary processes

These are the most prevalent examples. A creative approach to KM can result in improved efficiency, higher productivity and increased revenues in practically any business function.

What's Knowledge Management (KM)? & Why is it so important?

Knowledge Management (KM) is the organizational effort to improve business results by influencing people through what they read, the conversations they have, and the numbers they use.

KM become matters because, after your organization has automated and outsourced everything it can, the last thing left is people making decisions and doing work based on what they have read, the conversations they have, and the numbers they use. It is particularly important for larger organizations. 

KM is hard to do because it is the most sophisticated of management techniques requiring

- a keen understanding of the organization and its capabilities.

- clarity around the business strategy and the desired results.

- a subtle approach that influences people.

- the cross-silo combination of new and existing organizational capabilities (IT, business strategy, design, change management, information architecture).
