Definition

Knowledge Management is the practice of designing how information and knowledge are created, shared, reused, and learned from across an organization.

Background

APQC frames KM as more than document management: it combines people, process, technology, and culture so knowledge flows to the right people at the right time.

Position

It connects tacit knowledge, explicit knowledge, SECI, AI summarization, RAG, and enterprise knowledge systems.

Distinctions

  • Knowledge Management is not just tool deployment; it includes organizational behavior, process, and culture.
  • It is broader than search or an internal wiki because it concerns whether knowledge is reused in practice.
