Abstract

Business drivers such as digitisation, globalisation, customer intimacy and the emergence of the Information Age initiate the need to manage the organisation’s knowledge asset. Knowledge management aims at leveraging this explicit and tacit knowledge asset to the collective benefit of the organisation by developing an infrastructure to facilitate the knowledge process and by making information readily available. The implementation of such an initiative requires integration of the strategic, process, human resource, and technology architecture components as the company’s competitive advantage depends on the quality of the organisation’s knowledge asset and successful exploitation of it.
Veranderingsdrywers soos digitalisasie, die wêreldwye-mark-ontwikkeling, kliënteverhoudings en die ontstaan van die inligtingsera inisieer die behoefte om die organisasie se kennishulpbron te bestuur. Kennisbestuur het ten doel om die eksplisiete en nie-eksplisiete kennishulpbron tot die gesamentlike voordeel van die organisasie aan te wend deur ‘n infrastruktuur daar te stel om die kennisproses te fasiliteer en inligting beskikbaar te stel. Die implementering van ‘n kennisbestuursinitiatief vereis die integrasie van die strategiese, proses-, menslikehulpbron-, en tegnologieargitektuurkomponente, omrede die kompeterende voordeel van die organisasie afhanklik is van die kwaliteit van die organisasie se kennishulpbron en die organisasie se vermoë om dit te effektief te benut.
