The KM Cookbook serves up a menu of success stories and strategies for organizations wanting to know more about Knowledge Management Standard ISO30401 – whether they intend to pursue certification, or simply seek to use it as a framework to review their existing programme and strategy. Knowledge Management (KM) has been around for over 20 years as a set of tools and methods for connecting, collecting and creating knowledge. Lots has been written, and there are tens of thousands of practitioners out there—in-company specialists and consultants. Unlike Lean, Agile and other business improvement methodologies, KM has never had a single agreed set of tools, or a commercial accreditation or standard. Attending a KM conference can feel a bit like visiting an international street food market! In many ways, the arrival of an internationally agreed standard and vocabulary, imbues fresh professional credibility to the field of Knowledge Management.

"'Firstly, the KM Cookbook provides valuable practical guidance on how to respond to the new KM standard ISO 30401:2018 Knowledge management systems – Requirements which was published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) at the end of 2018...Secondly, the KM Cookbook provides guidance in regard to the “how” of KM in a way that recognises not just the diversity of organisational circumstances, but the distinctive characteristics of knowledge.'" - Real KM
