APQC's Knowledge Management (KM) Capability Assessment Tool is a diagnostic that lets KM practitioners measure every aspect of their KM programs, from strategy and business case development to specific processes and technologies, and find out how they stack up against the competition. This white paper describes the assessment tool, the 12 categories in which participating organizations are measured, and how knowledge managers can leverage the assessment results to improve their strategic decision making.
KM Maturity models are popular as a way of self-measuring progress, but personally I think they are inappropriate and can lead you into a wrong understanding of KM, and that there are much better alternatives.
