Siemens takes a grass‐roots approach to knowledge management

Abstract

Siemens, once noted for its bureaucratic and hierarchical approach to business, has adopted a grass‐roots and “bottom up” approach to knowledge management, which has transformed the company over the last three years. Without any suggestion or provocation from above, middle‐level employees and managers in Siemens business units began to create repositories, communities of practice and informal sharing approaches for knowledge.
