In Reply to: KM - HR or IT? (or just too many acronyms?) posted by Boris on July 25, 1997 at 07:23:24:

Dear Boris,

I would like you to identify the need for KM before you debate the actual ownership of the task. In my personal opinion, KM has to be defined accurately and when this is done It will be evident that it is something transgressing all the functions of any organization, esp. the vital ones.

The HR manager, till now has had to deal with an amorphous role and this would be the opportunity to try and understand the exact strategic need of the org. in terms of information and learning. The IT dept. is too function oriented to be expected to independently possess a wholistic approach to KM. The HR manager has to upgrade their technical skills and proceed then to KM and methods.

Simply put, HR personnel have to become proactive LEARNERS and then ASSEMBLERS of information channels. Step out of PAs and Recruitment.
