Knowledge Management has 2 Areas KM has 2 areas: individual and organizational. They are both managed differently, run on different tracks but drive in the same direction.
The individual experiences a "thought-speech-action" process while
The organizational experiences a "data-info-knowledge" process.
Both cycles are recursive, hinged on reflection.
Systemic thinking teaches us that knowledge is the output of a process, and part of a system. One needs to reveal the "system" behind the process and develop tools to manage it. For instance, a generally accepted "condition" for KM require
1) a learning oriented organization plus
2) process oriented team work, where synergy generates logarithmic growth of knowledge.

Knowledge Management Conditions Bottom line: effective knowledge management = achievement of planned profit. Very broad subject housed in an environment condusive to learning, self motivated personnel encouraged to take risk and maintainance of high levels of integrity and ethics - a 9 month project in most cases involving a successful implementation of an array of business systems. Fun!

Conditions for Knowledge Management (KM) Just some thoughts:
Conduct a KM Audit with the organization to learn what level of understanding and what cultural influences and practices are in place that support and get in the way for KM.
This can give you a fuller sense if the conditions are supportive to designing, introducing and implementing a KM process &/or initiative.
For example,
- What knowledge sharing behaviors and practices are being encouraged & what is missing,
- What systems and processes are in place that capture knowledge & how effective are they?
Great book for KM = Jay Liebowitz "Making Cents of KM"
Great questions and dialogue - thanks for posting.:)

Mint Performance Today when we talk of KM, we, in most of the cases speak of collection, storage and dissemination of knowledge. This job is like that of a bank cashier wo colects, stores and disburses money. We should lay emphasis on "mint performance", where currencies are created and then distributed.

Knowledge Management Conditions Differ per Organization That's right today and tomorrow we talk about KM, but the application and the implementation of KM is different among the countries and workplaces. For example, in my company we are setting up KM in the format of an Operations Management System that is based on the People, Plan, Process and the Performance and must be closed with continuous improvements. Even though KM is the same concept, but the re are differences in its implementation.

Missing Element in the KM Mix : Diversity I remember sitting on plane in discussion with a gentleman from Europe about learning from each other by building bridges to understanding. He said "knowledge without wisdom is empty."
I believe the failure of organizations to embrace, recognize, and leverage diversity management causes them to lose out on innovation / creativity which fill knowledge bank reservoirs.
Of course this is just my opinion and I'm always open to discussion and improvement.

Conditions for Knowledge Sharing Knowledge sharing should be encouraged. This helps organization to reduce unproductive time and unproductive activities like preventing repetitive mistakes. This is possible when people in teams are open and broad minded. People who do not share knowledge should not be encouraged, and the leader and managers should be sensitive to this.

4 Knowledge Management Conditions Very interesting list. In one book I read kind of a summary in 4 conditions for effective knowledge transfer:
1. Openness
2. Trust
3. Richness of interaction
4. Positive previous experience
I think everything matches pretty well.

Knowledge Management Depends on Leadership The knowledge management approach would be highly dependent on leadership which is expected to create a conducive environment and conditions for the workforce to operate.
Interaction among workers and between workers and management will depend on the policy of an organisation on communication.
An organisation that operates an open door policy is likely to reduce tension to the barest minimum. I consider knowledge management a strategy by leaders for avoiding conflict situations.

Transfer the 4 Knowledge Management Conditions into the Work Climate In agreement with that, continuing to raise the level of and develop competencies in managing differences accross the organization helps avoid conflict situations, as well.
Additionally, leadership in the organization can reduce tensions by the way they communicate strategies, new directions, and efficiently handle current situations.
In this way, the four conditions of openness, trust, richness in interaction, and positive experiences can be transferred to the work climate.
