Developing a Knowledge Management Strategy

KM strategy is a plan that describes how an organization will manage its information and knowledge better for the benefit of that organization and its stakeholders. A good IKM strategy is closely aligned with the organization’s overall strategy and objectives.

A good, clear KM strategy can help to:

•  increase awareness and understanding of KM in your organisation
•  articulate the business case and identify potential benefits
•  gain senior management commitment
•  attract resources for implementation
•  communicate good KM practice
•  give a clear, communicable plan about where you are now, where you want to go, and how to plan to get there
•  give you a basis against which to measure your progress,

There are many ways to approach the development of a KM strategy, as well as many ways of presenting the strategy document itself. There is no 'one size fits all'. Larger organisations will probably need a detailed, formal strategy document whereas for a smaller organisation something briefer and less formal might be more appropriate.  (http://www.360doc.com/content/06/0920/10/10199_211753.shtml).
