Knowledge Life Cycle
Knowledge and the ability to distribute and evolve it has long
been an endeavor of many knowledge management professionals. In
the global environment of today the evolution of knowledge relates to
everything from business practices to scientific research. The
world of knowledge management comes to the rescue of common issues
related to maintaining knowledge stores. Among these are:
- Aging knowledge
- Tacit information
- Knowledge Hording
- Organization
- Distribution
- Recognition
- Re-creation of knowledge
These are all problems of current day systems. The creation of knowledge
is constantly under development, but how does the knowledge change
when needed? Even if knowledge changes, what methods are used to
validate the legitimacy or accuracy of the knowledge? The Knowledge
Life Cycle describes the process of which knowledge can be constantly
evolved. There are 5 steps in the Knowledge Life Cycle:
- Create
- Manage/Organize
- Share/Access
- Use/Feedback
- Evolve
The continuous cycling affect of this system ensures that knowledge
does not succumb to the common pitfalls of knowledge management.
