Abstract:

Knowledge management defines the purposeful acquisition of knowledge at the right time for the right person. Knowledge management involves the process of creating new knowledge, or demonstrating knowledge sharing, storage, and improvement. Knowledge management was defined as the process of applying a systematic approach to the capture, structuring, management, and dissemination of knowledge throughout an organization to work faster, reuse best practices, and reduce costly rework.

Knowledge management is a systematic process that creates value and meets strategic requirements. It consists of ideas, strategies, processes and systems responsible for the creation, accumulation, evaluation, sharing and improvement of knowledge. It is difficult process in organization, but the question in the Interreg Baltic Sea Region project “Supporting Smart Specialization Approach in Silver Economy for Increasing Regional Innovation Capacity and Sustainable Growth (OSIRIS)” (Nr. #R080) was may it work in open innovation ecosystem. This paper will present the methodology and results of the process to achieve this model, that is already available to be freely used by those that might find it helpful for their professional work, through the website of the project (https://www.osiris-smartsilvereconomy.eu/knowledge-management-model/).

We hope Knowledge Management Model will be the main instrument for handling the connection between the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) approach, industry and knowledge assets. Developed Model is useful instrument for managing a complete evolution cycle of the innovation process, making full benefit of the research knowledge and transforming it into products and services with high grow potential and high user adaptation and satisfaction integrating RIS3 approach. Practically the Model supports open innovation ecosystem and coordinates the path from concept formulation, proof of concept, lab to market flow in a line with particular RIS3.
