International Knowledge Aware Association

ISO Standards are documents that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used to consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose.

The Knowledge Management Standard is:
– A set of standards for a KM management system
– An attempt to ensure that KM is managed with a degree of management consistency
– An attempt to help people avoid the pitfalls of the past
– An aid for self-audit and self-examination rather than a requirement for accreditation
– Put together by unpaid volunteers

The Knowledge Management Standard is not:
– A standard way to do knowledge management
– An attempt to make everyone do KM the same way
– A consultants’ charter to print money
