Components of Knowledge Management

According to the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the four core components of knowledge management are:

• Governance: The leadership that commits to an organizational structure that is capable of managing the knowledge.
• Content: The quantity and quality of the data and information that is managed.
• Processes: The standards and guidelines that will be used to collect, manage, and disseminate information.
• Technology: The system supporting the other three components.
