Key information

Knowledge management according to DIN ISO 30401 deals with the systematic organization, acquisition, storage, transfer and application of knowledge within an organization. It includes the development of strategies, processes and technologies in order to use knowledge effectively and achieve competitive advantages.


Both explicit knowledge (documented knowledge) and implicit knowledge (experience, skills) are taken into account and managed within a structured framework. The aim of knowledge management is to increase the performance and innovative strength of an organization by making knowledge transparent, sharing it and using it for decision-making processes.


It promotes the exchange of best practices, the prevention of knowledge loss in the event of staff turnover and the creation of a learning culture within the organization. Knowledge management can be supported by the use of software solutions that facilitate the collection, organization and provision of knowledge.


It is a continuous process that adapts to the changing needs and challenges of an organization and can make an important contribution to long-term competitiveness.

History

The history of knowledge management dates back to the 1980s, when companies began to recognize the importance of their internal knowledge for business success.


In the 1990s, knowledge management became more popular as an independent concept, particularly through the work of Peter Drucker and Nonaka/Takeuchi.


The first scientific models and approaches to knowledge management also emerged during this period.


Today, knowledge management has become an integral part of corporate management, as companies increasingly recognize that their success depends largely on their handling of internal knowledge and their ability to innovate and adapt.
