The document discusses knowledge management and its evolution over time from primarily explicit knowledge stored on physical mediums, to today's focus on tacit and emergent knowledge shared through collaboration and social networking. It highlights the importance of preserving knowledge, capturing it through various means, and sharing it through networks and communities. The final sections discuss challenges for knowledge management like climate change, and how learning and adaptive organizations can create, capture, transfer, and mobilize knowledge to achieve goals and adjust to changing conditions.
