Greetings David,

Not sure any group should 'own' KM, perhaps the best path is to share it?

At the most basic level KM is a people thing. Without active participation and buy-in from HR you may find knowledge management remains an up-hill battle. Let me explain.

• HR needs to adjust reward and recognition systems to align with KM
  
• HR needs to build KM skills and attitudes into hiring profiles
  
• HR must take responsibility for changing the corporate culture, for allowing and suporting learning from failure and supporting cognitive diversity
  
• HR must encourage experimentation, reward participation and leadership in communities of practice
  
• HR needs to encourage continuous learning, support knowledge sharing and reward KM risk takers.

KM is a distributed responsibility - but nothing lasting will happen unless HR is fully on-board.
