C3EEP Typology and Taxonomies: Knowledge Based (KB) Strategies

C3eep Typology

In chapter 1, we talked about strategic thinking on a global level. In chapters 4, 7 and 9 we focus on strategic thinking coming into play for the organization. As mentioned in chapter 1, we have developed a matrix that requires management to focus on the types of knowledge it possesses or would like to possess and guides management toward making the most appropriate decisions based on where they want the organization to go. The C³EEP Typology is a way to interpret six possible strategic dilemmas so an organization can chose a direction to follow toward their desired KM destination. As mentioned in the introduction of the book, C³EEP Typology stands for:

• Codification-Tacitness

• Complementary-Destroying

• Concealment-Transparent

• External Acquisition-Internal Development

• Exploration-Exploitation

• Product-Process
