Knowledge For Our Work

Knowledge is essential for our life, especially in our work. It once started with family clans, where knowledge was passed on from our parent to us by a long process of learning. So, the first knowledge that we got is on our family. When we child, everyday we get something to learned from our parents. Time by time, we learned anything surrounding our life. And that make our knowledge is grow up.

In our work, knowledge is increasingly considered the most important asset of company or organisations and it is assumed that every experience is reusable. It’s means that any knowledge can be reused by others in similar tasks by adopting this knowledge to new situations. One of the purpose of knowledge management is to make knowledge usable for more than one individual, for example for an organisations as a whole. With the coming up of teamwork, people were supposed to work closer together to benefit from the synergy of their joint knowledge.

The characteristic of modern business world is dynamic, changing markets and continous technological advance. To answer this trends, company must become more flexible and one certain way for them to do so is to strengthen their potential to learn as organisations. Today, ‘Knowledge’ become an essential organisational driver and a key factor in value creation. Successful company need to absorb and utilise an increasing amount of knowledge to keep up with this development.

“Knowledge management is really about recognizing that regardless of what business you are in, you are competing based on the knowledge of your employees.”
