Knowledge intensive core processes selection as a strategy to improve knowledge management initiatives.

A methodology is presented to select the Knowledge Intensive Core Processes: “Knowledge Management Critical Processes” its main objective is to analyze the selection of the processes inside the organizations, from the perspective of Knowledge Management and an strategic view. The principal advantage of this methodology is that there is no need to make a complete knowledge analysis of the organization to select the best opportunity area. Carry out actions for Knowledge Management to great scale in organizations implies high costs and complexity. Taking an erroneous decision selecting the area of the organization where the first KM initiatives where implemented, could result in one of the mayor future obstacles for a complete knowledge management program in an organization, for this reason, this methodology could be an strategy for improving efforts in the process selection.
