Knoco has built a substantial body of practical KM knowledge since 1999. This resource hub connects current research with proven implementation guidance so leaders and practitioners can move from insight to action.
Global Knowledge Management Survey
The State of Knowledge Management in 2026
The 2026 Global Survey is the fifth study in Knoco’s research series, following the 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023 surveys. The latest findings examine KM maturity, leadership, governance, value, technology, learning systems, knowledge retention, and the growing role of artificial intelligence.
The research reinforces a consistent finding: successful KM depends on leadership, governance, practical processes, trusted knowledge, and sustained organizational behavior—not technology alone.
What the survey series helps organizations understand
Maturity & Value
Understand how KM maturity develops, how organizations measure value, and what distinguishes embedded KM from early-stage activity.
Barriers & Enablers
Compare leadership, culture, governance, skills, process, and technology factors that accelerate or constrain KM adoption.
Practices & Operating Models
Examine lessons learned, Communities of Practice, retention, content, governance, technology, and other KM mechanisms in use across organizations.
