"The spiritual selfishness of those who know something and do not transmit this knowledge is detestable."
Miguel de Unamuno
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Fundecyt Knowledge Society area we believe that Knowledge Management is a collection of procedures, rules and systems designed to capture, treat, retrieve, present and transmit the data, information and knowledge of an organisation. Capturing can take place outside or inside the organisation. The aim is to create an objective and systematic knowledge stock, applicable to the activities of the organisation by any of its employees, irrespective of who generated it, with the aim of improving its efficiency.
Knowledge Management is not an aim in itself, but rather a means of achieving goals. Knowledge management implementation should respond to a corporate strategy in a tremendously changeable environment, to the superabundance of information and opportunities, the limitation of resources and a notable increase in investment in employees and information.
There should be no corporate strategy which does not contemplate knowledge as its principal component.
Knowledge Management comprises five main activities:
- Creation. Contribution of new knowledge.
- Capture. Transformation of knowledge from tacit to explicit.
- Organization. Classification and categorization for storage and retrieval.
- Access. Communication of knowledge to users.
- Use. Application of knowledge to corporate objectives.
These five activities can be grouped into three sub-processes: creation, sharing (capture, organisation and access) and use. Of the three sub-processes, sharing is the one to which organisations should devote most resources and attention. |
