What is knowledge management?

Knowledge management is the practices and systems an organisation uses to create, organise, share, correct and hold on to what it knows.

Where this one gets misread

Tooling does not fix an absent record, unclear ownership, or a team that has never agreed what may be shared. Those problems arrive intact on the other side of any migration, usually with a new interface on top.

Questions to ask

Ask for a worked example on your own material, and the evidence needed to reproduce it.

  • Who owns each source?
  • What is the correction path when something is wrong?
  • What is retained, and for how long?
  • What happens to the material of someone who leaves?

How Marella uses the term

We use “Knowledge management” only where a product mechanism or an evaluation method backs it up, and we say when the behaviour depends on how a deployment is configured.

  • Backed by a product mechanism or an evaluation method
  • Deployment differences flagged

What this page does not prove

  1. B1A definition is not a claim about how the product performs.
  2. B2Vendor implementations vary.
  3. B3Test the term against a representative workflow.
