Abstract

Knowledge management is a field that, in 2020, is reaching maturity. This chapter introduces the concept of the inventive intellectual corpus, a repository of the inventive knowledge contained in the conceptual representation of a dematerialized knowledge object. It sheds light on the benefit that innovation can derive from the backing of the inventive intellectual corpus. The chapter defines the motivations for knowledge management and shows how to conceive knowledge-based knowledge management. It analyzes the nature of knowledge capital and, more particularly, inventive knowledge corpus. The chapter discusses how the optimal approach to conceptual work on knowledge capital takes the form of a virtuous cycle and describes an operational method to instantiate this virtuous cycle in order to achieve the objective of transforming the company into a creative organization by encouraging innovation. It summarizes the transition from the inventive knowledge corpus to innovation, and thus of the creation of inventive knowledge.
