Knowledge Management Topics with Links and Definitions

Action Research - a philosophy and methodology of research generally applied in the social sciences. It seeks transformative change through the simultaneous process of taking action and doing research, which are linked together by critical reflection.
Adaptability - the ability to be flexible and adjust to changing factors, conditions, or environments.
Adoption - getting a new process or technology to be used routinely and repeatedly, so that there is behavior change as a result of the new capabilities provided by that process or technology.
After Action Review - a discussion of a project or an activity that enables the individuals involved to learn for themselves what happened, why it happened, what went well, what needs improvement and what lessons can be learned from the experience. The spirit is one of openness and learning - it is not about problem fixing or allocating blame. Lessons learned are not only tacitly shared on the spot by the individuals involved, but can be explicitly documented and shared with a wider audience.
Aggregation - collecting content such as articles, social media posts, images, videos, music, and more from a variety of sources around the web and making that content accessible in one place. Usually, these websites are set up in a way to automatically aggregate content through RSS feeds.
Agile Methodology - a way to manage a project by breaking it up into several phases. It involves constant collaboration with stakeholders and continuous improvement at every stage. Once the work begins, teams cycle through a process of planning, executing, and evaluating. Continuous collaboration is vital, both with team members and project stakeholders.
Analytics - discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data and text.
Anecdote Circles - events similar to focus groups but designed to elicit people’s stories—their real-life experiences—rather than opinions. The role of the anecdote facilitator is to ask very few, open-ended questions to help the participants recount real events. The facilitator spends most of the time listening and whenever someone offers an opinion, asks for an example.
Appreciative Inquiry - the co-evolutionary search for the best in people, their organizations, and the relevant world around them. In its broadest focus, it involves systematic discovery of what gives life to a living system when it is most alive, most effective, and most constructively capable in economic, ecological, and human terms.
Archiving - offline file storage for legal, audit, or historical purposes, using tapes, CDs, or other long-term media. Archiving is the process of moving files that are no longer actively used to a separate storage device for long-term retention. Archived files are still important to the organization and may be needed for future reference or must be retained for regulatory compliance.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to learning and decision making in humans, as by an expert system.
Assessments - capturing the current state of KM within an organization or department. They determine where organizations are in terms of leveraging explicit and tacit knowledge, collaboration, and the development of new knowledge for innovation. They assist organizations in developing a vision of where they need to be, considering the strategy of the organization, and proven practices within their industry.
Attention Economy - the collective human capacity to engage with the many elements in our environments that demand mental focus.
Augmented Reality (AR) - an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. AR can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects.
Ba - a shared space for emerging relationships. It can be a physical, virtual, or mental space.
BarCamp - a user-generated conference primarily focused on technology and the web. An open, participatory workshop event, the content of which is provided by participants.

Before Action Review - a tool to help a team assess the current knowledge and experience they already have as a way to inform the planning stages of a new project. Outlines the intended outcomes, lessons previously learned from similar projects, challenges therefore anticipated and actions needed to ensure success in light of what is already known.
Behavior - the way in which a person functions or operates routinely.
Belief Management - recognizing those beliefs that both hinder and promote the advancement of a leader's vision. This includes the leader's beliefs as well as those of the team.

Benefits - the advantages of using knowledge management approaches, and the reasons for implementing knowledge management.
Big Data - extremely large data sets that can be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions.
Blogs - websites where posts are made (such as entries in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order. Often provide commentary or news on a particular subject. Some function as personal online diaries or logbooks. Combine text, images, and links to other blogs and websites. Typically provide archives in calendar form, local search, syndication feeds, reader comment posting, trackback links from other blogs, blogroll links to other recommended blogs, and categories of posts tagged for retrieval by topic.

Business Intelligence - the ability for an organization to take all its capabilities and convert them into knowledge.
Business Narrative - Collecting anecdotes from people about how they actually do work to make sense of what is really going on in an organization so a set of interventions can be designed. It is more about listening rather than telling.
Business Process Management (BPM) - a discipline that uses various methods to discover, model, analyze, measure, improve and optimize business processes. A business process coordinates the behavior of people, systems, information and things to produce business outcomes in support of a business strategy.
Certification - the process of providing someone with an official document attesting to a status or level of achievement.
Change Management - developing a planned approach to change in an organization to address anticipated obstacles and to ensure successful adoption.
Chat - a text-based system that enables discussions among any number of participants in so-called conversation channels, as well as discussions between only two people. Includes persistent chat rooms (channels) organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging.
Checklist - a type of job aid used to reduce failure by compensating for potential limits of human memory and attention. It helps to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out a task. A basic example is the to-do list. A more advanced checklist is a schedule, which lays out tasks to be done according to time of day or other factors. A primary task in checklist is documentation of the task and auditing against the documentation.
Classification - creating and maintaining a taxonomy that can be used to organize information so that it can be readily found through navigation, search, and links between related content.
Coaching - gives employees space, time, and tools necessary to grow and develop in specific areas. Different from mentoring or training, coaching is set apart by the way a coach approaches a conversation. Coaches do not teach but help through a process of discovery by using active listening skills, asking powerful questions, expanding thought processes, identifying limited beliefs, designing action steps, and following up.
Cocreation - collaborative development of new value (concepts, solutions, products and services) together with experts and/or stakeholders (such as customers and suppliers). A form of collaborative innovation: ideas are shared and improved together, rather than kept to oneself.
Code-switching - occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages, or language varieties, in the context of a single conversation or situation.
Cognitive Computing - simulation of human thought processes in a computerized model, involving self-learning systems that use data mining, pattern recognition, and natural language processing to mimic the way the human brain works. Makes a new class of problems computable, addressing complex situations that are characterized by ambiguity and uncertainty.

Large Language Model (LLM) - a language model notable for its ability to achieve general-purpose language generation. LLMs acquire these abilities by learning statistical relationships from text documents during a computationally intensive self-supervised and semi-supervised training process. LLMs are artificial neural networks typically built with a transformer-based architecture. Some recent implementations are based on alternative architectures such as recurrent neural network variants and Mamba (a state space model). LLMs can be used for text generation, a form of generative AI, by taking an input text and repeatedly predicting the next token or word.

Machine Learning - giving computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. A method of data analysis that automates analytical model building, using algorithms that iteratively learn from data to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look.
Machine Translation - a sub-field of computational linguistics that investigates the use of software to translate text or speech from one language to another.
Market Intelligence - information relevant to a company’s markets, gathered and analyzed specifically for the purpose of accurate and confident decision-making in determining market opportunity, market penetration strategy, and market development metrics.
Maturity Model - a set of structured levels that describe how well the behaviors, practices, and processes of an organization can reliably and sustainably produce required outcomes. Can be used as a benchmark for comparison and as an aid to understanding - for example, for comparative assessment of different organizations where there is something in common that can be used as a basis for comparison.
Measurement - numerical and visual tracking of performance against goals and operational indicators.
Mentoring - a process in which an experienced individual helps another person develop goals and skills through a series of time-limited, confidential, one-on-one conversations and other learning activities.

Metrics - operational indicators collected to monitor and communicate performance against goals, areas for improvement, and progress toward the desired state.
Mind Maps - diagrams used to visually organize information. They are hierarchical, showing relationships among pieces of the whole. They are often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas.
Mindset - an interpretative process that tells us what is going on around us. In the fixed mindset, that process is scored by an internal monologue of constant judging and evaluation, using every piece of information as evidence either for or against such assessments as whether you’re a good person, whether your partner is selfish, or whether you are better than the person next to you. In a growth mindset, the internal monologue is not one of judgment but one of voracious appetite for learning, constantly seeking out the kind of input that you can metabolize into learning and constructive action.
Mixed Reality (MR) - the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Mixed reality does not exclusively take place in either the physical world or virtual world but is a hybrid of reality and virtual reality.

Most Significant Change - a change monitoring technique used for evaluating complex interventions, based on a qualitative, participatory approach, with stakeholders involved in all aspects of the evaluation. It involves the generation of significant change stories by various stakeholders involved in the intervention. The more significant of these stories are then selected by the stakeholders and in-depth discussions of these stories take place.
Motivation - the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Why a person does something, involving the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behavior.
Multi-Stakeholder Process - diverse actors (e.g., government agencies, producer organizations, NGOs, private citizens, donors and others) collaborating to achieve a common goal. This promotes better decision making by ensuring that the views of the main actors concerned about a particular decision are heard and integrated at all stages through dialogue and consensus building.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) - a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with analyzing, understanding, and generating the languages that humans use naturally in order to interface with computers in both written and spoken contexts using natural human languages instead of computer languages.
Neural Networks - computing systems made up of a number of simple, highly interconnected processing elements that process information by their dynamic state response to external inputs. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are algorithms or actual hardware that are loosely modeled after the neuronal structure of the mammalian cerebral cortex but on much smaller scales.
Onboarding - the process of introducing a newly hired employee into an organization. An important part of helping employees understand their new position and job requirements.
Ontology - a set of concepts and categories in a subject area or domain that shows their properties and the relations between them.
Organization Design - a process for shaping the way organizations are structured and run. It involves many different aspects of life at work, including team formation, shift patterns, lines of reporting, decision-making processes, and communication channels.
Organizational Development (OD) - a critical and science-based process that helps organizations build their capacity to change and achieve greater effectiveness by developing, improving, and reinforcing strategies, structures, and processes.

Peer Assist - a process in which a team of people who are working on a project or activity call a meeting or workshop to seek knowledge and insights from people in other teams.
Peer Review - the evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work. It functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. Peer review methods are used to maintain quality standards, improve performance, and provide credibility.
Personalization - a technique in which a system identifies users and delivers to them the content, experience, or functionality that matches their role.
Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) - collecting information that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve and share knowledge in their daily activities and the way in which these processes support work activities. PKM is a response to the idea that knowledge workers need to be responsible for their own growth and learning. It is a bottom-up approach to knowledge management.
Personal Profiles - online tools allowing individuals to enter details about who they are, where they are, what they know and can do, and their affiliations, and which aggregate their contributions, social media posts, and other activities to provide others with a comprehensive, searchable view.
Planning - the process of thinking about and organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning is also a management process, concerned with defining goals for an organization's future direction and determining the missions and resources to achieve those targets.

Prediction Markets - speculative markets created for the purpose of making predictions. The current market prices can then be interpreted as predictions of the probability of the event or the expected value of the parameter.
Premortem - a managerial strategy in which a project team imagines that a project or organization has failed, and then works backward to determine what potentially could lead to the failure of the project or organization. The technique breaks possible groupthinking by facilitating a positive discussion on threats, increasing the likelihood the main threats are identified. Management can then reduce the chances of failure due to heuristics and biases such as overconfidence and planning fallacy by analyzing the magnitude and likelihood of each threat, and take preventive actions to protect the project or organization from suffering an untimely death.
Process Automation - using tools to automate previously manual processes, such as producing proposals, creating presentations, developing products, managing surveys, or managing reporting.

Promoting/Selling KM - convincing executives, stakeholders, users, and team members to sponsor, support, adopt, and use knowledge management people, processes, and technology in support of their work on an ongoing basis.
Proven Practices - the process of selecting, documenting, and replicating methods and approaches that have proven to improve business results so that others in similar environments or with similar needs can benefit from these demonstrated successes.
Recognition - praise, publicity, and promotion for performing desired behaviors.
Records Management - maintaining the records of an organization from the time they are created up to their eventual disposal. This may include classifying, storing, securing, archiving, and destroying records. Records management is knowing what you have, where you have it, how long you have to keep it, and how secure it is.
Reflective Practice - the ability to reflect on one's actions so as to engage in a process of continuous learning, paying critical attention to the practical values and theories that inform everyday actions. This involves examining practice reflectively and reflexively, not just looking back on past actions and events, but taking a conscious look at emotions, experiences, actions, and responses, and using that information to add to one’s existing knowledge base to reach a higher level of understanding.
Reporting - collecting, publishing, and distributing metrics and producing documents with text and graphics to communicate performance against goals, areas for improvement, and progress toward the desired state.
Repositories - structured lists and databases that allow documents and other files to be stored, searched for, and retrieved.
Research - creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge. It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or issue.
Retention Interview - a question-and-answer process that continues until the interviewer feels they have reached core knowledge, expressed as future recommendations, based on ground-truth.
Retrospect - a process to capture team-based learning from an important project or initiative of any kind, upon its completion.

Risk Management - the process of identifying, monitoring, and mitigating potential risks in order to minimize the negative impact they may have on an organization.
Ritual Dissent - a workshop method designed to test and enhance proposals, stories, or ideas by subjecting them to dissent (challenge) or assent (positive alternatives). It is a forced listening technique, not a dialogue or discourse.
River Diagram - a self-assessment tool that enables an organization to identify its own strengths and weaknesses and to develop an integrated strategic approach. It is a method of converting graphic information into an accessible diagram illustrating performance and benchmarking, the capability for learning, measuring performance levels, and laying the foundation for creating a strategy for managing and sharing knowledge within an organization.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) - an application of technology, governed by business logic and structured inputs, aimed at automating business processes. Using RPA tools, a company can configure software, or a robot, to capture and interpret applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses, and communicating with other digital systems. RPA scenarios range from something as simple as generating an automatic response to an email to deploying thousands of bots, each programmed to automate jobs in an ERP system.
Search Engines - tools that allow searching for sites, documents, files, list items, content, answers to questions, and other digital information. They allow specifying the scope or domain of the search; whether to search on text, images, or metadata; and how results should be presented.
SECI Model - describes how explicit and tacit knowledge is generated, transferred, and recreated in organizations. Socialization (tacit to tacit) is the process of converting new tacit knowledge through shared experiences in day-to-day social interaction. Externalization (tacit to explicit) is a process whereby tacit knowledge is articulated into explicit knowledge so that it can be shared by others to become the basis of new knowledge. Combination (explicit to explicit) is a process whereby explicit knowledge is collected from inside or outside the organization and then combined, edited, or processed to form more complex and systematic explicit knowledge. The new explicit knowledge is then disseminated among the members of the organization. Internalization (explicit to tacit) is a process whereby explicit knowledge created and shared throughout an organization is then converted into tacit knowledge by individuals. This stage can be understood as praxis, where knowledge is applied and used in practical situations and becomes the base for new routines.
Semantic Web - a mesh of information linked up to be easily processed by machines, on a global scale. It is a web of data -- of dates, titles, part numbers, chemical properties and any other data one might conceive of. RDF provides the foundation for publishing and linking data: an RDF triple is subject, predicate, object.
Sensemaking - the process of creating situational awareness and understanding in situations of high complexity or uncertainty in order to make decisions. It is a motivated, continuous effort to understand connections (which can be among people, places, and events) in order to anticipate their trajectories and act effectively.
Sentiment Analysis - the use of natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and other data analysis techniques to analyze and derive objective quantitative results from raw text. Sentiment analysis (or opinion mining) is a technique used to determine whether data is positive, negative or neutral. Sentiment analysis is often performed on textual data to help businesses monitor brand and product sentiment in customer feedback, and understand customer needs.
Shadowing - the opportunity for an individual from one area of an organization to work alongside and gain experience with the role of another individual and gain an insight into that particular work area. It can also be used to provide an individual within a department the opportunity to work alongside more experienced colleagues so they can learn and develop within their current role.
