Workflow-based Knowledge Flow Modeling and Research: Combination of Knowledge and Workflow

Abstract

On the basis of knowledge flow, knowledge processing and knowledge application are combined to form knowledge flow. According to whether someone participates in the process of knowledge flow, an individual knowledge flow model is proposed. Inter-individual knowledge flow is the fusion of knowledge management and enterprise core business processes that are the most essential driving factors of knowledge management projects. The process of business process implementation is generally completed by the workflow. Its essence is a comprehensive knowledge flow process of knowledge establishment, knowledge classification, knowledge archiving and knowledge query and sharing. Integrating workflow and knowledge flow can better realize knowledge management of the enterprise. The proposed inter-individual knowledge flow model is designed and applied based on the actual business process of a hospital in Wuhan, and realizes the knowledge management in the process of workflow to support the flexible management of knowledge in the general sense.
