Knowledge Management Guidelines in Government Organizations: A Long Way to Go

Following the need for knowledge management in organizational structures, more than 50 years since the beginning of the knowledge management discourse in public and private sector organizations in the world, about 20 years since the first whispers of knowledge management in the country's scientific literature, and also with the announcement of knowledge management in the government organizations in January 2021, these organizations entered the new year with a new agenda but an old conceptual sphere. For a long time, this decree will integrate the spheres of the sector with the concepts related to knowledge management. There are many potential positive aspects in the decree in terms of paying attention to knowledge assets and transferring experiences and lessons learned and best practices along the length and breadth of organizational processes and inter-organizational communication. Translating these potential strengths into actual benefits will help to enhance the organizational environments of the government sector organizations, improve productivity and client satisfaction, and reduce repetitive errors and develop innovation. Achieving these benefits requires careful planning, the use of collective wisdom, the capabilities of scientific centers and the participation of staff and stakeholders. The heart of this process is the transformation from potential to actual, the attention and benefit of the competencies of knowledge management experts who have been trained for many years and are ready to be employed by universities and higher education centers of the country . In this paper, while explaining the decree, the challenges facing the organizations are also examined and solutions are provided.
