Summary


Knowledge Management (KM) focuses on the Content of "Knowledge" that an organization acquires, creates, processes and uses

This focused Knowledge process supports "Organizational Process" - innovation, individual learning, and collaborative decision making.


KM motivates Creation, Dissemination, and Application of Knowledge

KM aids in embedding Knowledge into "Organisational Process"  so that it can continuously improve Practices and Behaviours and pursue the Achievement of its goal

KM is a set of new organisational activities aiming to improve Knowledge/ Knowledge related practices,  organization behaviour and decision, and organisational performance.


Organisational Learning (OL) focuses on Process

OL can be seen as a goal of KM

Organizational Cycle
1st priority -Processes Needed to continuously Revise or Create Knowledge
 [ Accumulate Knowledge is of less significance than the processes needed to revise or create knowledge ]
This is very much like "Continuous Improvement" in which Organization continuously identifies, implements, and institutionalises improvement  Through Routines, Written policies, Prescribed machine settings, Quality control units or Best practices

(2nd - Accumulate Knowledge )

KM and OL complement each other
