This report, APQC's tenth Best-Practice Report on knowledge management, explores how innovative organizations manage their knowledge and how to approach KM to drive innovation. Using Knowledge Management to Drive Innovation chronicles the value innovative organizations find in better managing the flow and reuse of knowledge, effective practices to enhance knowledge creation and reuse for innovation, and implications for other organizations that might wish to better nurture knowledge. The report focuses on how to:
foster a supportive culture and link KM, innovation, and business strategy and results;
enable collaboration;
establish support roles and structures;
engage the educational and training functions and incorporate recruiting strategies; and
measure the success of consciously enabling knowledge to drive innovation.
