Knowledge Management Clickable:
THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO
Transforming
Knowledge
Management
Making Knowledge Management Clickable is a comprehensive manual for knowledge management transformations. Divided into three sections, the book first details how to analyze your organization’s KM needs, develop a business plan, establish a target state vision, and construct an actionable transformation plan. The second section of the book details the full slate of KM technologies that often comprise key elements of the KM transformation, including content and document management, enterprise search, graph databases, and taxonomy/ontology management tools. The last third of the book covers best practices for running the KM transformations, approaches for effective design and implementation, and key business outcomes and solutions that such a KM transformation may yield.
In its entirety, the book is the culmination of author’s careers, all the knowledge they’ve gained, and all that they’ve leveraged in order to make EK the largest dedicated knowledge management consultancy in the world. The book includes EK’s complete KM Proprietary Benchmark, released for the first time in this form.

Words from the Publisher
"Springer is very happy to publish this book, because we feel it has the potential to fill the gap between mere scientific books which too often lack precise recommendations for industry practitioners and lightweight professional books which (again too often) are just an anecdotic list of euphemistically called best practices. This book unites the best of two worlds: it combines sound scientific knowledge with the authors’ long experience in the field."
– Ralf Gerstner, Executive Editor at Springer.
