Abstract: A knowledge management module associated with an organization hierarchically arranges knowledge relevant to the organization. The knowledge management module may communicate with databases internal and external to the organization to connect individuals to information regarding elements within the map. In certain embodiments, the management server also includes, for each element in the knowledge management map, information related to the levels of expertise of personnel associated with the organization. In another embodiment, the knowledge management module may include processing capabilities that allow it to recompute the links between each element of the map when errors have been found or when new elements need to be added.
