Version 2.0
Leveraging over a decade of learning from users of its Knowledge Management Capability Assessment Tool, APQC has modernized this model and its supporting tools to provide a better user experience. We have updated the assessment making it easier for you to complete, and enhanced the resulting maturity report providing more meaningful, actionable content that will support your continued journey toward knowledge management excellence and business impact.
In this new version you will find that each characteristic of KM maturity has a question with pre-defined answer options. You simply select the answer option that best fits your current state.
The KM Capability Assessment Tool looks at everything from your KM strategy to how KM is funded, the governance in place, the processes and approaches, the technology, and the sophistication of your measures. It measures your KM program against APQC’s Levels of Maturity, a five-step maturity model for KM programs. Your results will reveal the overall maturity rating for your KM program, as well as your maturity rating in each of 12 component areas, such as measurement, change management, and IT.
