Abstract:
Knowledge Management (KM) is increasingly recognized as a strategic asset for architecture firms, critical for leveraging project-specific and organizational knowledge to gain competitive advantage in a highly competitive industry. Systematic assessment of KM implementation effectiveness and organizational capability is typically achieved through maturity models. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of prominent KM maturity models, analyzing their conceptual underpinnings, structural components, and potential applicability to the knowledge-intensive architectural design process. The review reveals a diverse landscape of existing models, generally comprising 4 to 6 evolutionary levels, yet lacking a universally accepted standard or framework specifically tailored to the architectural sector. Critically, this synthesis highlights a significant research gap: the absence of a KM maturity model developed and validated for the unique operational context and cultural nuances of architecture firms within Turkey. By consolidating insights from established frameworks, this review underscores the exigent need for future research focused on creating a context-specific maturity model to effectively benchmark, guide, and advance KM practices within the Turkish architectural industry.
