Preface

Over the past 30 years, the knowledge management (KM) field has evolved from focusing strictly on capturing knowledge, to moving from collections to connections, to incorporating knowledge assets as part of an organizations intellectual capital strategy. We have seen over the years that the IT codification approach to knowledge management is just one part of the organizations knowledge management strategy, and perhaps the personalization approaches for sharing and collaborating are more impactful in many ways through the use of online communities of practice and other social networking methods. Over the years, we have also witnessed the KM owner in an organization being the CIO, CKO, VP-HR/OD, VP-Strategy, and other senior champions with different slants on the development and implementation of KM strategies in their organizations. Now, as we enter the big data and analytics years, what lies ahead for knowledge management?

To answer this question in the best possible way, I thought it would be most helpful to apply the basic tenets of knowledge management by learning from KM past successes and failures. In this spirit of knowledge sharing, we can learn from others so we dont travel down the wrong paths. This book, with contributed chapters from some of the leading KM authorities, including journal editors of some of the highly ranked KM journals, provides a lens in which we can look at the past, present, and future opportunities facing us in terms of how knowledge management can continue to help organizations achieve their goals.

If you Google knowledge management under any job site, you will witness hundreds of knowledge management jobs ranging from librarian roles to technical and managerial roles as applied to leveraging knowledge internally and externally. This seems to suggest that knowledge management has made it into the business mainstream. But, at least from my experience, many organizations dont seem to have enterprise-wide KM strategies. Senior managers and executives also dont seem to talk much about knowledge management, which may indicate that either KM is already integrated into the fabric of the organization (ie, we dont need to talk about KM, we are already doing it), or KM may not be that important to the organization. Some of the chapters in this book suggest some truths on both accounts. From an academic viewpoint, there are still many conferences worldwide focused on knowledge management, as well as a number of industry-focused KM conferences too.
