Knowledge management (KM) includes the approaches taken by an organization to identify, create, distribute, and enable the adoption of insights and experiences from the body of evidence. Such insights and experiences consist of knowledge, either personified in individuals or entrenched in organizations as processes or practices.

The two main types of knowledge include tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge.
