Knowledge Life Cycle

Evolve

Using the feedback from users of the knowledge, the next step turns into the last step, which is also the first step of the knowledge life cycle . . . Evolution.

The author reviews the feedback from the users, and depending on what was returned for review, the author may change the knowledge to encompass the feedback, making the KO more accurate, thus evolving the knowledge in the process. This step returns to the first step of the cycle because knowledge is once again created; this time from an existing KO.

The evolution of knowledge maintains the usefulness of the knowledge and draws from the experience, education and outlook from various people who use it. The future of knowledge management is just now budding into life. Begin the evolution today!
