Gaining Buy-in for KM

Most organisations recognise the potential value of knowledge management (KM) and have teams who effectively manage their KM strategy.

However, effective KM is not something that can be achieved by a single team. Gaining commitment to KM is crucial for businesses who wish to harness the intellectual capital within their teams and in the organisation as a whole.

The best way of achieving KM success is through the development of a solid KM culture with a top-down leadership style where there is a visible value and importance placed on KM initiatives, and through winning support for KM objectives from other employees within the organisation.

A KM strategy that is both tied to overall business strategy and supported by employees throughout the organisation will be more successful and sustainable.
