Question

What is the role of "Governance" in Knowledge Management system for a not - for profit, international organization and government agencies ?

Answer 1

Governance is used to give a direction and control to the activities undertaken in non-profit organizations. Governance decides the organization’s vision, mission and strategic goals. As the non-profit organizations do not have a bottom line of profit or loss, having good governance is critical for the system.

In non profit organizations, governance is required to participate in decision making of all the critical processes involved. The policies and doctrines of knowledge management must be maintained by the system. Governance monitors this adherence in non profit organizations.
