Knowledge Management

 

Knowledge Management (KM) comprises practices used in an organisation to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences,both past and present. Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organisational processes or practice. KM is certainly not limited to a specific domain of practice. Information and media, IT, public health, and public policy, telecom and healthcare reform initiatives have also have started accepting and contributing to KM research. Organizations have resources dedicated to internal KM efforts, often as a part of their 'Business Strategy', 'Information Technology', or 'Human Resource Management' departments . Several KM practioners, and consulting companies, can help in designing strategies in implementation of KM methods in these organisations.

 

KM efforts typically focus on organisational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of lessons learned, and continuous improvement of the organisation. KM efforts overlap with Organisational Learning, and may be distinguished from that by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the sharing of knowledge. KM efforts can help individuals and groups to share valuable organisational insights, to reduce redundant work, to avoid reinventing the wheel per se, to reduce training time for new employees, to retain intellectual capital as employees turnover in an organisation, and to adapt to changing environments and markets.

Especially, today’s business environment is characterized by continuous, volatile climate that demands a new attitude & approach within organizations-actions must be adaptive, and based on a faster cycle of knowledge creation. KM defines-exploits human know-how to bring maximum return in an organization. AEPI, under its Special Initatives program, is taking a step forward to bring together the great minds of KM, in an effort to consolidate different schools of thoughts, and to help provide a single source Knowledge Management principles and methodologies, to those Organizations in need of services as mentioned above.

 

AEPI has leveraged the use of web technology and in specific "membership-free" Linkedin Group facility, to enhance "dialog based learning" atmosphere between KM practitioners, (KM) seekers and on-lookers.
