Abstract

In today's knowledge-intensive society, organisations need to be able to effectively manage the increasingly important production factor 'knowledge' in order to thrive. In this article, an instrument is presented which enables organisations to diagnose their 'state of the art' regarding knowledge management, and to identify opportunities and threats for a further growth towards professional knowledge management. The theoretical foundations of the instrument are presented, as well as the goals that it helps realise. Finally, the results are discussed of a continuous methodological evaluation of a central part of the instrument, the questionnaire.
