Stage 4 will involve expanding and supporting the KM initiatives
throughout the organization. Again it will be necessary to examine the
presence of indicators. If some of the following elements are present, then the
organization can proceed to launch stage 4 of the KM implementation:
• Other departments in the organization are expressing a desire
to actively participate in the KM system as a result of successful
pilots.
• The promotion and marketing of KM throughout the entire
organization has started to show positive results.
• The entire organization has been made aware of the existence of
the KM initiative and the results of the pilot activities.
• An expansion strategy for the KM initiatives is in place, supported
by a number of top executives in the organization.
• Adequate resources have been identified for expanding the KM
efforts and the finance and budget departments are supportive of
these efforts.
