Since its establishment in the early 90's, Knowledge Management has been
gradually moving toward academic maturity and broader acceptance in the
business world. As a result, it is an important area to consider in the mix
of document strategy design. We'll be exploring this connection with our
guest, document management and knowledge management pioneer, Dr. Michael JD
Sutton. (http://documentstrategy.podbean.com/mf/web/dk4mrs/Document_Strategy_Podcast_

Knowledge Management comprises a range of practices used in an organization
to identify, create, represent and distribute knowledge. How should we
properly frame the notion of Knowledge Management and how it relates to
document strategies and process improvement in the business world?
KM first emerged as a business discipline in the early 1990s. Many large
companies and non-profit organizations dedicated resources to internal KM
efforts, often as a part of their business or information technology
strategies.
KM typically focus on continuous process improvement and the approaches
often overlap with document management and document strategy design, but can
be distinguished by the greater focus on the management of knowledge as a
strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the sharing and exchange of
knowledge as opposed to the transport of data or information.
We'll explore all of this and more with KM pioneer, Professor Michael
Sutton, author of the book "Document Management for the Enterprise," in this
episode of the document strategy podcast.
