Motivations for Knowledge Management in Organizations

There may be different reasons why Knowledge Management will be developed within organizations. Some of them are:

1. The need for making available, increased knowledge content for the development and provision of products and services.
2. For facilitating and managing organizational best practices, innovation and continual learning
3. For achieving better quality products in shorter development cycles.
4. For leveraging the knowledge of subject matter experts across the organization
5. For managing the distribution of data and information in different business environments, enabling people within to reuse information and best practices.
6. For employees to benefit from "networking" wherein there is a personal and team growth by way of learning and sharing information.
7. Managing the intellectual capital developed within the organization.

Organizations are realizing the potential of Knowledge Management, but the rigor seems to be slow even today!
