Theough his leadership he made his organition (the Mongol horde) into a learning organisation, which is (for me) good KM. I don't expect any organisation, however good at KM, to share their knowledge with their competitors, but I do expect them to acquire and internalise new knowledge.

Thank you for this very interesting po...Dear Nick, <br />Thank you for this very interesting post. Being myself a Genghis Khan fan and studying knowledge management, I'm enthusiastic about the unexpected opportunity to name both in the same sentence :)<br />However, I'm not entirely convinced that we're strictly talking about knowledge management here. The approach of Genghis Khan reminds me more on 'The art of war' from Sun Tzu, so widely quoted in the 'Intelligence' field. Indeed, aren't we rather dealing here with 'competitive intelligence' and 'business intelligence'? <br />I'm not denying the learning aspect which occurs through his acquisition of knowledge, (the famous 'Internalisation' conversion process so well described by Nonaka), but I don't think that Genghis Khan was keen on sharing his knowledge with anyone else...which is, for me, a process inherently linked to knowledge management.<br />Iris Buunkhttps://theknowledgeexplorer.orgnoreply@blogger.com
