Organizational value of knowledge management

One of the barriers to understanding the value of knowledge management is the lack of a ready methodology to be used to assess the effect of implementation of knowledge management on the organization. Corporations around the world have identified a need for KM; however, they have not identified suitable methods to effectively measure the benefits of capturing and sharing knowledge. In an effort to measure the value of KM, organizations should adopt a methodology or framework that can demonstrate the efficacy of their implementations. This paper discusses KM and organizational assessment, illustrating a methodology to assist in the clarification of the impact of KM for managers.
