Are the knowledge management professionals up
to the job?
Abstract: The objective of this paper was to explore the role of
a Knowledge Management professional in today's blue chip companies,
to examine if and how the KM professionals differ from each other,
and if Knowledge Management professionals on the whole match the
earlier proposed models of an ideal' KM professional. The findings
suggested that employing organisations did not have a clear idea
of the KM role. This ambiguity was picked up the newly appointed
KM professionals, who as a result felt uncertain and insecure in
their KM role. Further, the findings supported earlier studies,
in what the participants perceived the KM role to be 2/3 change
agent, 1/3 information systems technology) although they perceived
themselves primarily as management consultants/entrepreneurs rather
than technicians/managers.
