Conclusion
Due to the rapid development of communication
technologies and increasing flow of information,
filtering data to acquire usable knowledge is more
challenging day by day. Knowledge management is
essential for the governance of organizations as well
as for their resilience and continuity. International
standards are vital tools that can be leveraged for
these purposes.
Regarding individual organizational activities,
applying micro PDCA cycles based on knowledge
management concepts has the potential to increase
maturity in management system applications.
Furthermore, organizations implementing adequate
and quality knowledge management systems will
likely have fewer problems and disruptions and be
able to adapt to changes more easily. Those that
apply mature knowledge management system
practices have the opportunity to distinguish
themselves as industry leaders.
Looking to the future, discussions of knowledge and
knowledge management practices are expected to
appear in more standards or similar publications.
It is crucial for organizations to proactively devise
ways to eliminate disinformation and unnecessary
information, as the remaining knowledge is the main
resource for decision-making and designing future
activities. Ultimately, the degree at which knowledge
management systems are implemented—guided
by the above-mentioned standards—will be key
in determining how organizations rank in their
respective markets.
