Another foundation of knowledge infrastructure is devising, implementing and integrating an effective strategy. The real point of knowledge management strategy is to create an environment for leveraging the organization’s intellectual property into a collaborative platform, making this knowledge actionable. Knowledge management is about action, not just about collection and consolidation. It is about leveraging what the organization knows. Forming a knowledge strategy is straightforward. The first step is to develop sophisticated scenarios for current and future competitive environments. The next step is to describe ideal successful companies with respect to the future scenarios. A vital characteristic of this step is evaluation of the advantages and base knowledge required in these successful organizations (Clarke, 1998). Following the identifications of the knowledge needed at successful firm, the next step is to identify the individuals within the firm who have the knowledge required or the capability to acquire that knowledge. It is important to identify external knowledge sources to help determine and understand current and future customers, suppliers and markets. The source of intellectual capital may not reside within the organization but can be leveraged elsewhere. The step for the organization is to model its efforts on those of a conceptually an ideal company. The business strategy for such an ideal company would include a plan in acquiring and maintaining the necessary knowledge. Once the knowledge strategy is in place, the strategy is set. It is then time to develop the system. Zack (1999) suggested that knowledge assets should be analyzed in relation to their support of business strategy by performing a SWOT analysis. This makes intuitive sense in that knowledge management has strategic value.
