Creating a Knowledge Management Strategy

Abstract

The Army needs to reaffirm Knowledge Management as the means to supporting its Strategic Strategy for the 21st Century of transforming itself into a network-centric knowledge-based force. The best way to do this is for the Army to write an Army Knowledge Management Strategy that lays out a vision to shape the entire Army into a knowledge-based force for the next 20 or 30 years. The strategy would provide a unity of effort for the Army enterprise, which is currently operating in a piece meal way. With a common Knowledge Management strategy, the Army could direct TRADOC in coordination with FORSCOM to develop a plan to change the current cultural mindset and Army doctrine to meet its strategic goals. The forces would affirm these newly developed Knowledge Management processes through daily use, training, and exercises. HQDA G6/CIO, which is responsible for the Information Management strategy, would tailor the Information technology resources operating the enterprise to support the Knowledge Management strategy.
