Why is development of National Standard important
• ISO 9001:2015 as well as ISO 55001 recognises knowledge as an organisational asset that requires appropriate management.
• A standard will assist organisational leaders in identifying and applying best practice within their organisations to improve performance and sustainability.
• Due to rapid urbanisation, the Indigenous Knowledge Base is similarly under threat.
• The standard will provide assurance that this national asset is captured effectively and remains accessible to future generations.
• The standard will contribute to economic strengthening by contributing to more effective transfer of knowledge and skills to build capacity and capability in order to maintain competitiveness

Facts about KM
• In essence, knowledge management is in its application could transform the capability of the organisation which is an area which South Africa need greatly.
• As a country, we have institutions that are giving us data, interpret it in to information-“tell us what is wrong and how we can fix it”.
• There is a general consensus that the country lack the capacity and capability to implement-an area which Knowledge Management Practitioners are supposed to close relatively easy, only if there was a standard way of doing so.
• Some organisation and KM practitioners are doing it better than others-but there is no consistency or predictability and sustainability of the impact of a KM approach
• When one Minister is removed from office or redeployed to another department, policy implementation get stalled if not scraped altogether; again pointing to the lack of proper handover –an area that knowledge managers should add value.
• In both instances, there is a clear gap in the Management systems which frustrates the overall objectives of our beloved land
