Knowledge management is a hot topic everywhere. But it is a dilemma, especially if one wants to implement in the organization. This is because most people think of it as a single system that can be peeled off in the organization as a unit or department. Knowledge management is a system that can not be found or implemented within the organization and straight forward. This is a process that must be integrated with each division or department of the organization and realization which will be raised in each member organization. In short, the KM must be embedded in everyday organizational process for him to work efficiently and to be successful. It provides the processes and structures to create, capture, analyze and act on information. Knowledge Management and focus on human know-how, and how to harness it to maximize the benefits to the organization. Here are some things to consider for the implementation of KM:

* Preparing for KM strategy
* Applying knowledge sharing tool for both implicit and explicit knowledge
* Document best practices and what not
* Map all the existing knowledge within the organization – implicit and explicit
* Make knowledge sharing organization’s policy

KM is directly linked to people, not technology. Technology is only a support tool for the promotion of KM. KM effectiveness is under the competence of personnel, institutional support and motivation. And KM is a continuous process, knowledge constantly tested, updated, revised, and sometimes even obsolete.

The vision of KM should not be interpreted in terms of strategic organizational KM (examples include “ICIMOD explore the relationship of upstream and downstream supply of ecosystem services to validate, such as fresh water and carbon storage, and conservation and management of biodiversity as a natural heritage, livelihood and ecological resilience. ICIMOD wants to help mountain people develop appropriate policies and innovative compensation mechanisms, and fair for ecosystem services’, ICIMOD wants to develop regional capacity and storage to reduce poverty provide increased economic resilience of the mountain By exploring sustainable livelihood options and strategies innovation potential of the national income produced .. ICIMOD will produce, promote and knowledge to implement adaptation strategies and equitable socio-economic methods to the effects of changes in socio-economic and ecological to take. ICIMOD is also committed to monitor and analyze the situation of poverty and the key drivers and policy -relevant data to develop “), and in a way that generates enthusiasm, buy-in and motivate managers to work together to achieve a common goal like that always add value to existing knowledge by combining the expertise together, build relationships and collaboration between knowledge useful for the purpose of the organization’s goals.

The challenge is to sort out the valuable information within the organization to obtain a goal or direction of the organization’s goals. And, if KM is also secure the individual’s learning experience as someone leaves the organization, he / she requires a lot of knowledge about him / worked with him / her is always valuable process and organizational procedures. With all this and more features, KM add great value to organizational effectiveness and achieve their goals against

* Facilitate better decisions and processes
* Contributing to the organization’s intellectual capital
* Eliminating redundant processes, current operations and improve staff retention rates
