Knowledge Management vs Information Governance to Unlock Information Value

NYC area expert explains knowledge management vs information governance, how they overlap, and how to unlock the benefits of both—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance expert, explains knowledge management vs information governance in a new article. The informative article first offers the definition of data, information, and knowledge as the first step to understanding knowledge management and information governance.

The author then states that knowledge management focuses on collecting or creating information and insights and creates systems for capturing knowledge from experts. On the other hand, he says, information governance encompasses the processes, policies, and responsibilities involved in the storage and securing of information. After explaining how both disciplines overlap in the area of information access, he concludes by listing five business benefits of both.

"Business leaders know that information holds incredible value for the organization," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "Understanding the differences and similarities between knowledge management and information governance helps to unlock information value."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Knowledge Management vs Information Governance to Unlock Information Value."

"The first step to understanding knowledge management vs information governance involves defining data, information, and knowledge. The term 'data' refers to facts and figures, while 'information' describes data that has been organized and put into context. 'Knowledge' involves understanding, gained by combining information with experience or education."

Knowledge Management

"Effective knowledge management involves creating systems for capturing and documenting critical knowledge from experts. It also facilitates sharing and applying that knowledge appropriately to promote better decision making, problem solving and innovation. This requires a combination of organizational processes, technological infrastructure, and training."

Information Governance

"Information governance, on the other hand, encompasses the processes, policies, responsibilities, and roles involved in the storage and securing of information. For many organizations, information governance efforts begin with the need to achieve regulatory compliance."

Information Access Critical

"Knowledge management and information governance overlap in the area of information access. Both disciplines aim to make sure that the right people have smooth and timely access to the information they need."
