Videnshåndtering

Videnshåndtering is a concept in knowledge management and information science that refers to the process of identifying, storing, and retrieving knowledge and information within an organization. The term is derived from the Danish words "viden", meaning knowledge, and "håndtering", meaning management.

At its core, videnshåndtering involves creating and maintaining a system for collecting, categorizing, and making available relevant information to those who need it. This can include documents, data, expertise, and other forms of knowledge that are critical to the organization's operations and decision-making processes.

Effective videnshåndtering is crucial in today's knowledge-based economy, where access to accurate and timely information is essential for making informed decisions, improving productivity, and driving innovation. It enables organizations to capture, retain, and leverage their knowledge and expertise, reducing the risk of knowledge loss and facilitating collaboration among employees.

Videnshåndtering can be achieved through various means, including the use of knowledge management systems, documentation, and training programs. It requires a systematic approach to identifying, storing, and retrieving knowledge and information, as well as a strong commitment to sharing and using knowledge across the organization.

Research and development in videnshåndtering have led to the creation of various theories and models, such as the Knowledge Management Framework and the Information Quality Model. These frameworks aim to provide a structured approach to managing knowledge and improving information quality, enabling organizations to make the most of their existing knowledge and expertise.
