KMap: Providing Orientation for Practitioners when Introducing Knowledge Management
Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Practical Aspects of Knowledge Management (PAKM 2002) Springer Vienna Austria
One of the first question each knowledge management project facesis: Which concrete activities are referred to under the name of knowledgemanagement and how do they relate to each other? To help answer this questionand to provide guidance when introducing knowledge management we havedeveloped KMap. KMap is an environment which supports a practitioner in theinteractive exploration of a map of knowledge management activities. Theinteraction helps trigger interesting questions crucial to the exploration of thesolution space and makes hidden argumentation lines visible. KMap is not anew theory of knowledge management but a pragmatic “object to think with”and is currently in use in two case studies.
