Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) have been in existence for over 30 years. These
systems provide management with information that aids in decision making, but they
also provide the organization with the ability to learn from various lessons and apply
corporate knowledge and the benefits of corporate history to the development of the
organisation. The type of organization that benefits from its lessons is often referred to
as “The Learning Organisation” (TLO). TLO’s often have more motivated staff, higher
degrees of innovation and faster learning.
This assignment requires you to research the relationship between KMS and the ability
of an organisation to evolve into a TLO.
You are required to conduct a comprehensive research and write an essay of 3500 words
discussing and critically analyzing the above issue. You are encouraged to use real life
examples of success stories and failed cases of above and conclude with
recommendations regarding the application of KMS in the deployment of a TLO.
