Proliferation of knowledge value based on VoK methodology

Abstract

Introduction. In a situation of continuous organizational change, it is extremely important to implement methods that reduce uncertainty and assess the prospects for scaling the project. Knowledge management projects have a number of distinctive features that make it difficult to analyze the results of their implementation and to plan them.

Aim. Develop a method for knowledge efficiency evaluation both for the project/product as a whole and for individual assets; test this method on the available data; design an approach to make managerial decisions about knowledge management product development.

Materials and methods. The initial material for the study is analytical data of the knowledge dissemination system. To reach the aim methods of analysis and synthesis are applied. There was conducted an analysis of existing methods for knowledge efficiency evaluation, barriers to its application in the oil and gas industry were considered. They were integrated with approaches to the scalability of software solutions regarding the specifics of knowledge management domain. Initial materials were used to model economic effects.

Results. Promising directions for the knowledge management system development were identified. The potential for scaling the value of knowledge was assessed, and the possibilities for developing the model and scenario analysis were presented.

Conclusion. This article provides an overview of the key approaches, which may be relevant for a wide range of readers involved in the processes of digital business transformation and interested in options for assessing the replication of IT solutions and knowledge management products.
