The proposed framework for assessing KMS Success models appears to be useful. It allows users to validate that the KMS success model they are using reflects observed factors that have been found to affect KMS success. The use of the KMS Success Factors to assess this fit is very powerful and is the major contribution of this paper. The KMS success factors were identified from a large number of studies, projects, and KMS’ providing a broad view of KMS success. The use of the other two criteria of the framework are less powerful but still important. It is important to determine that a KMS success model has a theoretical foundation as otherwise it could simply be a reflection of a single data point’s success criteria and may not be applicable to the KMS to be assessed. Additionally, it is also important to ensure that the KMS success model being used applies to the approach of the KMS under consideration. It is inappropriate to apply an organizational effectiveness model to a task/process
