Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management (KM) is the practice of systematically collecting and organizing information and knowledge and connecting them to users so that they can act in an informed and effective manner. It is more than a repository or a database. A KM system is composed of people, processes, technologies, activities and products all working to address an information or knowledge need in a timely way.
Dive deeper into the theory and science of KM.
NIDHC KN for DoW GHE Program
USU’s NIDHC KM Program supports the DoW GHE enterprise in capturing, organizing, and connecting knowledge from source to user. We strive to operate a well functioning KM system that enables our stakeholders to perform and coordinate effectively; learn and adapt continuously; and innovate collectively.

KM for DoW GHE: A Practitioner-Centered Approach
Our aim is to meet the information and knowledge requirements of the GHE practitioner at every phase of their experience. We do this by developing knowledge products and activities as well as leveraging other existing knowledge sharing and learning structures at NIDHC, see Training and Education. Program implementation is organized along five focus areas: information, community, process, engagement, and innovation.
