Abstract
A method of enabling a knowledge management community. A community is originated based on a vision of values and benefits that can be realized from the organized sharing of knowledge within a common group of people. The group is defined based on subject matter, interest, geography, or any other category. Based on the vision of a community, an initial definition of the community is created, including a community charter. Based on the community charter, the community is designed. The design of the community includes creating a matrix showing processes performed by members of the community and the outcomes of these processes, developing knowledge maps that show the knowledge used and created in performing processes, and defining metrics to measure the benefit derived from the sharing of knowledge within the community.
