Abstract

The paper intends to analyse the links between competence management and Knowledge Management (KM), adopting the Knowing Organisation Model as the main framework. A web-based survey was conducted with 168 KM leaders and HR managers from Brazilian and Portuguese middle and large size organisations. The results have given evidences that competence management is a significant antecedent of KM. A diagnosis of the sense making, knowledge creation and decision making practices in the analysed organisations is presented. The strategic role of the HR department in the KM initiative is emphasised. The paper also discusses strengths and weaknesses of the KM initiatives, and presents some recommendations to KM leaders that may help them in increasing the maturity level of their KM projects.
