A Knowledge management policy can include various areas like policy statement, purpose, scope, role & responsibilities of individuals & managers. The policy can focus on knowledge management processes like knowledge creation, storing, sharing and so on. The policy can focus on the soft side of KM or the hard part- technology. But we suggest not to include the IT/Intranet policy inside the KM policy. Our KM policy focuses on knowledge sharing and responsibilities of the staff.
Sample Policy:
