Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities

by Kimiz Dalkir

Overview

Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities examines the role that diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) plays in the field and discipline of knowledge management (KM). With the premise that DEI is the inclusion and equal treatment of all types of people, things and viewpoints, the book aims to increase awareness of DEI among KM practitioners and researchers. It is a starting point for adopting knowledge processing activities that ensure all knowledge voices are represented in knowledge creation and capture. The book explains how this valuable knowledge can be shared and disseminated so that there is equitable access as well as knowledge. The focus of this handbook is on inclusivity in KM, its current state, specific challenges and an exploration of the best path forward.

Currently, inclusivity does not appear to be on many KM road maps, and this book provides insights into the state-of-the-art of inclusivity in KM. In alignment with the book’s central theme, it presents a diverse range of perspectives that includes KM researchers, KM educators and KM practitioners. Addressing different stages of knowledge processing, as well as the KM bookends of KM culture, KM competencies and KM governance, the book features in-depth case studies to illustrate how inclusivity can be integrated into KM. The handbook concludes with concrete recommendations on how to integrate inclusivity into KM in organizations. Reviewing both the theory and practice of inclusive KM, the book helps readers gain actionable insights into an inclusive KM approach that includes standards, guidelines and checklists.
