Knowledge Management
By now you must be familiar with the concepts of Business Intelligence. Knowledge is defined as the utilization of information and data coupled with the potential of people such as the skills, competencies, various ideas, intuitions and commitment. The holistic view describes that the knowledge is present in the thoughts, ideas, judgments relationships, various concepts and the perspectives. However, knowledge is stored in the brain of the individual as well as encoded in the various process groups, documents, services, products and systems of the organization. However, for knowledge to have its values, it must be well used, focused, current, tested and shared.
The management of the knowledge is performing an audit of the various assets of the intellect that is responsible for performing critical functions. It performs audit of the potential bottlenecks that is responsible for hindering the flow of knowledge to the point of use.
Thus, the management discipline that enhances the processing knowledge of the organization is called as Knowledge Management. It is the systematic process of finding, selecting, organizing, distilling and presenting the information in such a way that the comprehension of the employees are improved in a specific area of interest.
