Excellence in Knowledge Management

Organizations with excellence in knowledge management (KM) are achieving real-world impact from knowledge management programs, including improved productivity, accelerated innovation, faster decision-making, and decreased cycle time to competency. APQC recognizes organizations as having excellence in KM based on analysis from our Knowledge Management Capability Assessment Tool, which provides an evidence-based methodology with which to measure and evaluate KM competencies across four categories: strategy, people, process and content and information technology.
