The ability to learn and repurpose knowledge from a specific circumstance is a key to ingredient to innovation. There are a number of ways that KM practitioners can leverage knowledge and learning. Some of the techniques most used by KM practitioners include: (1) knowledge capture, (2) knowledge leveraging, (3) knowledge creation, (4) Lessons learned and (5) Best practices.
Lesley Crane continues her discussion as to whether or not KM should be considered a science. . . Our survey results will be published next week.
Consequently, one can envisage that a scientific field is characterised by dominant theory, a body of appropriate research and knowledge, and a lively research agenda. From an academic perspective, the field of Knowledge Management possesses all of these characteristics.
It comes as no great surprise that a recent investigation of C-Suite respondents finds creativity and innovation, and creating a truly service culture to be top priorities. To this wish list we could easily add sustainability, managing change in a disruptive VUCA environment, and responding to the volatility of consumer demands. All of these issues share one thing in common – they position knowledge and knowledge workers front and centre. Easy to say, not so easy to do.

Whether you are in the ‘resolution setter’ category or not, would you like to really be successful at what you’d like to change?
