Certified by Cognicert Limited www.cognicert.com

ISO 30401 sets requirements and provides guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an effective management system for knowledge management in organizations. All the requirements of this standard are applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides. Knowledge management is the intentional process of defining, structuring, retaining, and sharing an organization’s employees’ knowledge and experience. Organizations develop significant institutional knowledge as they evolve, expand into new areas, and define their business approach. This information is priceless to the company. It is critical to pass it on to new or less experienced employees in order to keep operations running smoothly.

Organizations can improve the efficiency of their practices by disseminating information and increasing the level of expertise held by specific individuals or teams using practical knowledge management. It frequently refers to training and learning within a company or among its customers. It entails a cycle of knowledge creation, sharing, structuring, and auditing to increase the effectiveness of an organization’s collective expertise.
