Cross-Analysis of Data Collected on Knowledge Management Practices in Canadian Forces Environments
Abstract
As the 21st century unfolds, a number of changes have already altered the character and conduct of military operations. Consequently, the military profession is subject to drastic transformations, which ones oriented our attention around questions such as how is professional military expertise currently built, shared and transmitted in this ever-changing and unstable world? Drawn on data collected from a recent research on Knowledge Management (KM) practices, namely on Knowledge Creation, Learning and Collaboration, the present work performs a detailed comparison of the states of these practices between the different military environments, with an emphasis on what distinguishes the Army from the others. This paper underlines the components that can be considered either as levers or constraints for the current Canadian Forces KM efforts, such as becoming a knowledge-based army, reaching acute situational awareness or accessing knowledge in the C4ISR context.
