The area of Knowledge Management is extremely diverse encompassing almost anything that is connected with a knowledge resource.   A survey of Knowledge Management literature reveals a diversity of options and approaches to Knowledge Management by organizations.  

It is not practical to implement everything that is covered under the umbrella of Knowledge Management. What is important though is that the organization identifies a real need for Knowledge Management, be clear about what is to be solved, improved, or changed; and to be clear about the Knowledge Management approach that will be implemented.
