DESIGN PRINCIPLES

   

DESIGN PRINCIPLE● Description● Impact on knowledge 

management

   

OPEN● Each user can see and change 

all content.● Each employee is competent; 

knowledge is freely available and shareable.

   

INCREMENTAL● Each user can see and change 

all content.Content (article) is linked to article which does not exist yet.

● Knowledge gaps are visible; efficient development of knowledge.

   

ORGANIC● Development of structure and 

content is evolutionary.● Knowledge and its context is 

dynamic; developments depend on existing requirements.

   

SIMPLE● Minor number of syntactical 

rules.● Low barriers of usages during 

knowledge documentation.

   

UNIVERSAL● Creating, changing, and 

structuring of content follows the same principles.

● No definition of knowledge management roles necessary.

   

PRECISE● Pages should be named clearly 

to avoid conflicting names.● The context of knowledge is 

considered.

   

OBSERVABLE● The content development is 

retraceable by each user.● The origination and 

development of knowledge can be analyzed.

   

CONVERGENT● Avoid duplications by linking 

existing content.● Redundant knowledge is 

mergeable.

   

TRUST● Trust as central principle.● The success is dependent on a 

company’s culture.
