“ Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise’s information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers.” (Duhon, Gartner Group, 1998).

• How to prevent work related accidents from happening and how to react if they happen etc.).

Basic principles

• Lessons learnt databases – databases that attempt to capture and to make accessible knowledge that has been operationally obtained and typically would not have been captured in a fixed medium (to use copyright terminology). In the KM context, the emphasis is typically upon capturing knowledge embedded in persons and making it explicit.
• Expertise location – identify and locate those persons within an organization who have expertise in a particular area and making sure the expertise is standardized and speeded across the organizations to avoid single points of failure (link with Risk Management);
• Communities of Practice (CoPs) – Communities of practice emphasize
the social nature of learning within or across organizations.In the digital era CoPs are generally understood to mean electronically linked communities.
