The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is an independent organisation responsible for the production of voluntary international standards. ISO has 165 member countries with a Central Secretariat based in Geneva. The name ISO is derived from the Greek ‘isos’ which means equal.

[https://www.iso.org/standard/68683.html ISO 30401:2018 Knowledge management systems-Requirements] provides guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an effective management system for knowledge management (KM) in organisations. The purpose of this ISO management system standard for KM is to support organisations in their development of management systems that effectively promote and enable value-creation through knowledge. This document defines the requirements for KM systems and promises successful implementation of KM.

The information provided within the standard incorporates practical levels of flexibility so the methods presented within can be applicable to any organisation, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides. ISO 30401 was prepared by the Technical Committee ISO/TC 260, Human resource management.

KM is the process of making the best use of knowledge and information within an organisation to achieve the organisation’s objectives. It allows people to access and apply the most appropriate knowledge when it is needed and supports learning.

Prior to the development of ISO 30401, there was no global standard for KM. The lack of such standards was due in part to numerous barriers to successful KM as well as confusions with other disciplines (such as information management) and misconceptions about how to undertake KM strategies. For instance, simply purchasing some type of technology will not be sufficient for creating a suitable KM strategy. Accomplishing this task requires organisations to tailor their own KM strategies to reflect their own business and operational environments as well as specific needs and desired outcomes.

The intent of ISO 30401 is to present viable KM principles and requirements as a framework for several applications, including:

* As guidance for organisations that aim to be competent in optimising the value of organisational knowledge.
* As a basis for auditing, certifying, evaluating and recognizing such competent organizations by internal and external recognized auditing bodies.

In addition to important definitions and organisational analysis, the standard offers guidance regarding leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation and improvement strategies. It also includes three annexes that explore different aspects of KM.
