The tone and level of expectations set by the most senior manager of an organization will drive both the implementation and the results. Knowledge management is a vital component of change management. As KM initiatives are undertaken or enhanced, it is imperative that expectations and the reasoning behind those expectations are clearly communicated throughout the organization. And, as made reference to earlier in this document, a spirit of knowledge sharing must pervade the organization if the full potential of KM is to be realized. Sensitivity to the need for continual, consistent KM must become ingrained in the very fabric — the culture — of an organization if its benefits are to be achieved. Its practices must become a ‘way of life’ — not just a temporary, passing management fad. Knowledge management must be integrated into strategic planning; analysis and decision-making; implementation of plans; and, evaluation of results. This is why KM is vital to an integrated management system and is advocated by the IAEA for protecting people and the environment [1].

A specific KM system model
Description
The Fraunhofer reference model is a three-layer schema that depicts the relationships between value-adding business processes, four knowledge management core processes, and six design fields of knowledge management.
In order to more fully appreciate KM’s pervasive nature and importance to an organization, it is useful to make reference to an overview model. The Fraunhofer Reference Model for knowledge management presented in Fig. 1 has been recognized as one of the few holistic KM frameworks for standardization in Europe.
