Where can we find knowledge?

Where can we find knowledge?

Knowledge is all around us. It’s in every IT system. It’s in our email, in our software applications. It’s in our colleagues, in our heads…  

Some of it is in big systems, some in small ones. Some is enterprise wide, some is mobile. We have forgotten that some of it even exists!  

Managing knowledge and information is the whole point of the digital landscape.  

Ask yourself these key knowledge management questions: 

  • What is the state of knowledge management in your company? 
  • Do you have repositories all over the place? 
  • Can you easily find what you are looking for? 
  • If you find what you are looking for, can you be sure you have found the right version? 
  • Do you have controls in place to add structured knowledge over time?  
  • Is access to your precious intellectual property well protected? 
  • How well does the auto-indexing of your knowledge repository serve your needs? 
  • Is your organisational knowledge managed effectively over time?  
  • Do you have a knowledge owner/librarian/editor/moderator? 
  • Do you have solid standards in place to ensure a consistent approach to knowledge preservation?  

Answering these questions can help you to think through how your organisation is doing in this complex space.
