Knowledge Management is a relatively new and emerging domain counting no more than 15 years of established academic and business presence. During its short life it has been receiving strong fluctuations and has not achieved a widely accepted consensus yet. As a result, despite the wide acceptance and the proliferating implementations of Knowledge Management, many organizations have failed to realize its expected results.

It is strongly believed that in order to take KM a step further, the field has to be structured, through the development of a comprehensive and practical approach. The underlining assumption is that despite any difficulties and shortcomings it seems that the proper use of standardization can provide considerable advantages. This assumption is amplified by the results from other sectors, like information technology, where standardization has lead to great benefits from all kinds of perspectives.
KMinPractice.com is a website dedicated to presenting our Knowledge Management implementation approach and in this way aspires to trigger a discussion about standardization in KM that will ultimately increase the field’s maturity level. Other, relative subjects of interest include:
Human Resource issues
Information and Knowledge Technology issues
Information Management issues
Process Management issues
The Knowledge Management implementation methodology presented in this web site is currently at the evaluation and refinement phase. Through KMinPractice.com you can contribute to this process. Available resources correspond to the approach’s current state.
Over the past decade, Knowledge Management (KM) is receiving increasing attention from researchers and practitioners alike. However, a well-integrated and holistic framework that would unify the discipline and guide practice is currently missing. In an effort to address the identified gap a holistic, modular and easy to use KM implementation methodology is proposed. The KMinPractice Methodology aids the structured and gradual realization of KM, through the provision of practical guidelines and useful tools.
The aim of this article is to identify the major approaches of the KM field. The first step towards the identification of existing frameworks and approaches was an extensive keyword search, carried out both on the Web (using the Google search engine) and on specialized journal databases including:
Ambiguity is a key obstacle in the field of Knowledge Management. The need to overcome definitional problems through the development a widely accepted terminology has already been recognized as one of the most pertinent issues in Knowledge Management. In response to this identified shortcoming, this document summarizes the key terms and concepts used throughout the KM in Practice Knowledge Management implementation methodology.
