Abstract

Based on an examination of best-practice organizations, five stages common to successful KM implementation are identified. Together, they form the APQC Road Map to Knowledge Management Results. A quiz is provided to help an organization assess its current stage of KM development. Each stage is described and illustrated with examples from best-practice organizations.
