Title:
An Assessment of the Air Force Weather Agency's Readiness for Knowledge Management Initiatives
Identifier:

STOAbstractExternal:
The successful implementation of knowledge management (KM) initiatives requires a level of commitment and preparedness by the organization that is commensurate with the expected results. An organization must be willing to allocate the necessary resources to ensure its readiness to undertake new KM projects. The purpose of this study is to review the Air Force Weather Agency's organizational culture and measure its propensity for accepting KM initiatives. The study uses theory-based constructs to evaluate and assess the organization's people, culture, climate, processes, and attitudes as they relate to KM. The research was conducted using semi-structured interviews to elicit respondents' views about KM practices. The study points toward a strong corollary relationship between the organizational environment and its readiness to embrace KM principles.
