Knowledge Management Maturity Evaluation

Knowledge management (KM) is essential today for organizations to stay agile in a dynamic business environment; Thus, organizations are increasingly investing in knowledge management. Given that KM is a complex process that involves people, processes, and technology, a set of coherent and understandable principles and understanding of KM is needed to guide and implement it. Maturity is the process of developing an object, process, technology, or organization over time. In the case of organizations, KM maturity models (KMMs) systematically categorize patterns and guide managers' actions. Therefore, in knowledge management, maturity assessment is an effective process concerning the organization's management of knowledge assets. This assessment continuously monitors knowledge assets through defined steps, as long as they are explicitly and systematically defined, managed, and controlled and deliver significant results to the organization. In the stages of this evaluation, knowledge management's growth is explained by monitoring strategies, guiding managers in decision-making, and demonstrating the progress of knowledge management performance in the organization. 
To conduct this evaluation, tools and models are used to help effectively monitor and understand the organization's capabilities and capabilities. In knowledge management maturity models, the organization's current status is determined, and solutions are provided to improve and enhance it.
