Knowledge Management Principles

A Way We Work Here is underpinned by the following knowledge principles:
  1. The Way We Work Here supports the stated organisations vision and shared values
  2. We are the knowledge guardians. It's not our knowledge; it belongs to ...
  3. We are all responsible for nurturing corporate knowledge
  4. We can all use the knowledge gained from information
  5. We all have the duty to ensure that knowledge flows where and when it is needed
  6. We will work in an intuitive way when we apply knowledge principles
  7. We will be supported and rewarded for working within our knowledge environment

This way of working is about nurturing people because 'knowledge growth' is a social experience requiring exchange and interaction. Knowledge is something that is in constant transition and needs to be questioned, tested and discussed but not controlled.

Whilst ICT is an enabler of this social interaction it is to be remembered that they are 'only' tools aiding and enhancing this fundamental experience which is an attitude/world-view.
