As the economy has shifted from industrial-based to service-based, organizations have been tasked with managing information and knowledge assets. Today, knowledge work takes center stage. The concept of knowledge management—which was developed in response to today’s more fluid, knowledge-based workplace—has become a vital capability of successful organizations.

In Knowledge Management: A Key Function of the Modern Organization, 313 TD professionals answered questions about the different methods and tools their organizations use to practice knowledge management, how they plan for and mitigate knowledge loss when employees leave, and their knowledge sharing culture with five generations in the workforce.

Key findings include:

  • 85% of TD professionals say that knowledge management is a core element of their organization’s culture.

  • Organizations commonly use technologies such as document management systems, learning management systems, and intranets for knowledge management.

  • 43% of organizations say planning for and mitigating knowledge loss is a high priority.

  • 71% of organizations engage in succession planning.

  • 74% of organizations agree or strongly agree that knowledge is effectively transferred across generations.
