This theme provides learners with an understanding of key definitions of knowledge systems.
  
''Knowledge Management'' (KM) is a management discipline that aims to sustainably improve the effectiveness of organisations and social systems through deliberate and planned systems interventions.
+
== Competencies ==
 +
Expected competencies after study of this theme are:
 +
* Understanding of definitions of information, knowledge, and action in the domain of Knowledge Management
 +
* Able to articulate strategies for reconciling layperson and KM definitions
 +
* Understanding of the Williams AKI model
 +
* Exploration of strengths and weaknesses of AKI model and alternative knowledge models
  
It is a multidisciplinary management science, drawing from diverse fields including information theory, data sciences, librarianship, communications, marketing, psychology, biology, sociology, and management research.
+
== Key Topics ==
 
+
* What is a knowledge system?
Many KM curriculums for both tertiary qualifications and private certifications only cover a small subset of the areas relevant to effective practice of knowledge management in organisations.
+
* Defining information, knowledge and action
 
+
* Williams AKI model
The '''RealKM Open KM Syllabus''' is an initiative which attempts to systematically describe the themes and topics required for a fully-rounded education in knowledge management theory and practice.
 
 
 
The goal is to provide a reference standard which can be used to:
 
* compare the content of educational KM programs
 
* create a common language for KM specialisations
 
* assist KM practitioners to identify opportunities for personal improvement
