Abstract

The topics of purpose, spirituality, calling, and self are more important than ever. However, they currently hardly play any role in traditional knowledge management approaches. The field of knowledge management has undergone a fundamental transformation, and it seems a perfect time to reflect on new ideas to respecify the future role of KM research and practice in a changing and increasingly dynamic world. In this chapter, we present a visionary future path for knowledge management. In this chapter, we will not only explore if and how spirituality, calling, and knowledge management fit together, but we will also seek to answer the question why an organization’s knowledge management should focus on the future best self of its employees and how this can work and be implemented. We will argue that the key to this is the self and could be implemented with the concept of spiritual knowledge management.
