Why Your Organization Doesn’t Need a Knowledge Management Vision

But Desperately Needs Strategic Alignment

Organizations get into trouble when they treat knowledge management as if it were a destination rather than a discipline. They announce a KM vision, launch a platform, form a steering committee, rename a team, and then wait for knowledge to behave as though it has a life of its own. It does not. Knowledge creates value only when it improves how the organization decides, executes, learns, and adapts.
