The specific character of local government structures‘functioning brings with it the risk of
Isolating knowledge. Departments‘autonomy creates closed knowledge centers formed by the
office‘s particular units. The situation results in blocking knowledge within particular departments
and not allowing it to be translated into the spheres of other departments. The described
Knowledge management model usually results in high assessment of single units (or the individuals
Employed there) against a general negative assessment of the whole office. It seems that the above
Presented problem could be solved by making separate information available within the local
government unit‘s structures and transforming a single skill into a resource matching the needs of
the whole LGU. This aim can be realized by applying knowledge management parallel in the
strategic dimension (focusing on building a knowledge-based and open-to-knowledge
organization) and the operational dimension which includes creating, gathering and processing
knowledge and using its resources to reach the organization’s aims.
