Abstract
ABSTRACT The integration of knowledge management (KM) and KM systems (KMS) within the ISO 9001:2015 and 30,401:2018 standards, adds further legitimacy to KMS research, design, and applications. By allowing to prioritise one’s KMS approach of choice, the standards are offering a common language to present an organisation’s KMS comprehensively and consistently for auditing and accreditation but foremost for effectively informing and involving their stakeholders. This article tests these abilities by applying the criteria to an alternative decentralised KM concept and system-under-development. By focussing on personalisation, mobility, generativity, and entropy reduction, the approach differs considerably from conventional KMS wisdom, and is presented as a case to investigate if the ISO 30401:2018 standard’s scope can accommodate the novel affordances. As a first case study of this kind, the adopted process and positive outcomes may assist KMs developers and KM practitioners as well as researchers in realising and assessing their own projects.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
