(Opens in a new tab) The KM Cookbook presents success stories and strategies for organisations wanting to know more about Knowledge Management Standard ISO30401 – whether they intend to pursue certification, or simply seek to use it as a framework to review their existing programme and strategy. The first half of this practical and accessible book explores knowledge management using the metaphor of the restaurant (KM programme or plan of activity), introducing the customers (KM programme stakeholders and beneficiaries), restaurateur (sponsor/senior champion), chef (KM programme leader), staff (KM team and support), ingredients (tools, methods, processes and strategies) and restaurant critic (external auditor). The second half presents sixteen case study examples of KM in practice around the world, through the reflections of their own ‘KM chefs’.
