In late 2024, APQC surveyed KM programs to understand their inputs, outputs, and success drivers. The research is designed to help KM programs bolster their business cases, benchmark their performance, and identify ideas for improvement. 
The report looks at differences among KM programs based on their level of centralization. It compares KM programs that are centralized with an Enterprise KM model (applies to the entire organization) and decentralized with a Functional KM model (applies to one business function/division).

Findings from the survey, include:

  • Current KM organizational models and reporting relationships
  • KM tools, approaches, technologies and program elements in place
  • Staffing levels, including KM core team and embedded business roles
  • KM costs, allocations, and funding sources
  • Adoption and participation rates for KM approaches
  • Measures used to evaluate KM program performance and impact
  • KM outcome metrics
