APQC'S PERSPECTIVE ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT http://www.apqc.org/portal/apqc/ksn?

paf_gear_id=contentgearhome&paf_dm=full&pageselect=detail&docid=155503 If you are new to knowledge management, this is a good place to start. Developing an

effective KM system begins with identifying the business opportunities that could be enabled by a better flow of knowledge, building a KM strategy and designing the initial projects, and developing measurement and tracking systems to determine the ROI and health of the projects. This paper condenses what APQC knows about implementing a successful KM initiative into a few basic lessons learned.

APQC'S STAGES OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY AND MATURITY http://www.apqc.org/portal/apqc/ksn?

paf_gear_id=contentgearhome&paf_dm=full&pageselect=detail&docid=155506 APQC's Stages of Knowledge Management Maturity provide a roadmap for moving

from immature, inconsistent knowledge management activities to mature, disciplined approaches aligned to strategic business imperatives. These stages of maturity are integrated with APQC’s Stages of ImplementationTM so that implementation at each stage provides a foundation of success and a launching pad to the next stage. This paper outlines the different levels of maturity, offering every organization a road map with milestones and checkpoints to guide their KM efforts.
