To Understand KM challenges, lets start with understand challenges

What is a challenge?

How do we define a "challenge"? The word, after all, has many interpretations. In a business context, it's often used as a euphemism for a problem or an issue that individuals or organizations regularly confront. By their very nature, they tend to involve some land of conflict caused.
Other challenges occur when individuals or organizations are asked to change the way they do things, to develop new and unfamiliar skills, or to utilize higher levels of knowledge.

An important role of KM is to gauge the amount of change individuals or organizations can accommodate, or even tolerate. This alone might reduce some of the challenges.
