Knowledge Sharing, Communities of Practice, and Learning Asset Integration - DAU's Major Initiatives

Abstract

The concepts of Knowledge Management (KM) and knowledge communities have matured over the past decade and are being recognized as major enablers for personal learning and job performance in achieving organizational business objectives. As a result, industry and government organizations are investing in KM, Organizational Learning (OL), and other development programs to help employees tap into knowledge resources. This article discusses the impact of KM on personal learning, job performance, and organizational learning. What follows is an overview of Knowledge Sharing through the eyes of the Defense Acquisition University, along with some new initiatives called Learning Asset Integration and Workflow Learning, which will be major support systems for the Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics workforce.
