Abstract

Knowledge is considered as a strategic resource in the current economic age. Strategies, practices and tools for enhancing knowledge sharing and knowledge management (KM) in general have become a key issue for organizations. Despite the demonstrated role of communities in sharing, capturing and creating knowledge, the literature is still missing standards for assessing their maturity. This chapter proposes a community maturity model (CoMM) that was developed during a series of focus group meetings with professional KM experts. This CoMM assesses members' participation, collaboration, and the KM capacity of any community. The practitioners were involved in all stages of the maturity model's development in order to maximize the resulting model's relevance and applicability. The model was piloted and subsequently applied within a chief knowledge officers' (CKO) professional association, as a community. The chapter discusses the development and application of the initial version of CoMM and the associated method to apply it.
