Knowledge can be defined as, ‘the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association.’ One tool leaders need in their organizational jump bag is a brief outline of critical factors that impact organizational knowledge. The first critical factor of knowledge is talent. The second critical factor of organizational knowledge is knowledge. The third critical factor is process. The fourth critical factor of organizational knowledge is technology. Enterprise leaders will also need a global knowledge process to succeed in high-risk environments. The first step in the global process is a market assessment. The next phase of the global knowledge process is an organizational assessment. A tool which is very helpful for leaders in the knowledge risk assessment process is the Talent Canvas for the organizational view. This talent canvas focuses on the organization's internal knowledge current state. Another to assist leaders in risk assessing organizational knowledge is The Talent Risk Assessment Tool.
