As Peter Drucker put it, “Knowledge is and will be the basic economic resource.”  In simple words, the key function of management is to engineer and manage knowledge. To this end every employee is to become a knowledge worker, knowledge creator and knowledge manger.

Only those companies which knowledge-empower its people becomes innovating and competitive.

Management must encourage new knowledge to come forward. Everyone’s knowledge must be tapped. Knowledge that one doesn’t understand must be managed and people must be encouraged to learn. It is important to make every employee understand his/her knowledge role. Companies must prepare ground for successful implementation of KEM by training employees in KEM skills and practices.  

Every organisation needs to train its human resource in Knowledge Engineering and Management skills.
