kunnskapsinnhøsting

Kunnskapsinnhøsting, a Norwegian term, translates to "knowledge harvesting" in English. It refers to the systematic process of identifying, capturing, organizing, and sharing knowledge and expertise within an organization or group. This knowledge can exist in various forms, including explicit documented information and tacit individual understanding. The primary goal of knowledge harvesting is to leverage existing knowledge to improve decision-making, foster innovation, enhance efficiency, and avoid redundant work.

The process typically involves several stages. First, knowledge is identified, often through interviews, workshops, or by analyzing project outcomes and lessons learned. Next, this knowledge is captured, which might involve creating documentation, building databases, or developing best practice guides. The captured knowledge is then organized in a way that makes it easily accessible and searchable. Finally, the knowledge is shared with relevant individuals or teams, often through training sessions, internal communication platforms, or knowledge management systems. Effective knowledge harvesting contributes to a learning organization that can adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment.
