Summary
Description
Knowledge assets are those parts of an organization’s intangible assets that relate specifically to knowledge, such as know-how, best practices, and intellectual property. Knowledge assets are often divided into human (people, teams, networks and communities), structural (the codified knowledge that can be found in processes and procedures) and technological (the technologies that support knowledge sharing such as databases and intranets).
By understanding the knowledge assets an organization possesses, the organization can improve its ability to use them to best effect and also identify any gaps that may exist.
