Knowledge Management: An Effort to Keep Pace with Information
Abstract
In a network centric environment, a multitude of platforms and communication systems will be linked to provide all levels of command with near real-time data to feed their decision-making cycles. The ability to cope with this abundance of information will depend on the organization's ability to adapt and learn faster than the enemy. To aid this accelerated learning process, knowledge management (KM) allows for the capture and exchange of experiences and lessons learned. The Joint Commanders and their organizations must leverage KM resources to allow for the efficient transfer of knowledge. The process of capturing the elusive tacit knowledge an individual possesses is highly social and relies on an understanding by the commander to create a culture for collaboration. This paper explores the role of an operational commander in optimizing the use of knowledge management resources to increase learning now and create a knowledge-base for the future.
