One of the basic problems in many of organizations and institutes is that, there are not enough information about personals knowledge and awareness. Knowledge management includes the most important means for resolving this problem by focusing on the alternatives for organizing , human forces and technology knowing the nature and importance of the knowledge and knowledge management in the organization completely to plan a knowledge management system or promoting its level in an organization is necessary. Also its necessary organizations success basic and approach for making balance among these items are attended specially by recognizing items and their functions indirect of accessing basic advantages in result of using knowledge management in the organization. So far 26 models about knowledge management were presented by different scientist sand institutes that most of them are similar to each other in terms of content but they include different orders in the words and phases. Nonaka and takouchi model is one of the best models among these models interms of explaining how producing knowledge that is was selected Materials and Methods:this study is Cross-sectional. for Analyzing challenges and blocks in the organization. At first nonaka model was divided sports for making questions for question air according to the studies and Analyzing main concepts in the structure of knowledge management and also studying suggested models. Then possible important parameters for promoting knowledge level in that part were made and finally selected parameters and alternatives were changed to the questions for questionnaire that its result was producing and questionnaires for each part. Questionnaires were given managers and people who were known as elits and specialist by the researching society for Analyzing their validity, so they were analyzed for resolving problems and matching with suggested model. Finally the questions in the questionnaire were evaluated by kokran test suitably and samely. Then the questionnaires were distributed among selected center personals and determining their views about the present center situation (according likert spectrum) were asked them. (in fact determining the value of the questions were asked them). In next step explaining the effect of these questions on promoting knowledge level of the center were asked them (in fact determining the value of the questions). Then the average value of each question was accounted and standardized after accounting the number (advantage) of the center and each level of nonaka model divisions , the value of the questions in the questionnaire are determined for accepting and determining the level of center knowledge suitably with each part of the model.

Discussion: Analyzing data (the answers of the questions in the questionnaire) shows that the advantage of the center related to the knowledge management is 2.77 in other ward the general center situation interms of centralizing knowledge and profiting the capital of the knowledge is less than average (between middle and weak).
Finally , they were sent again to the professional and people who have a hand in the society for Analyzing validity of the results and determining distinction about produced challenges and problems in order of their level of importance were asked them and these peoples views were analyzed by using (feridman) test. According to the obtained advantages by the organization and the list of the tabled problems in the organization, it seems that the organization needs to do some projects and knowledge under structures in the organization basically. These under structures include both human sources as the most important part and technologic equipments. On the other the organization should include suitable cultural programs for younger and in experienced people to recognize the importance of the knowledge factors as unimportant organizational capital. Also the organization managers mind should be focused on the importance of organization knowledge capital more than before by making culture.

According to gained scores by the organization and the list of expressed problems in the organization it seems the organization needs to per form projects and the knowledge infra structures .these infrastructures in clued both human sources as most important part and technologic facilities.

There is n t enough knowledge and wisdom of people in many organizations.

At first the answers of 2 questions should determine to inform the level of people s knowledge:

A/     which are the assets based on knowledge?

B/      how should manage these assets tope probable returning the maximum of interest?

Although finding suitable answer for these question in dependent on the type, the current culture and needs of the organization, but efficient knowledge management in clubs best of means for this by concentrating on all the solutions in cloud in organization. In fact the functions of knowledge management is observer to the systematic acts that it makes possible to achieve to the maximum out put, effective and permanent knowledge. Of course it needs to have determined approach to a achieve a above our pose which based on creating knowledge, living knowledge and transferring knowledge and applying knowledge in the organization is defined clearly and is determined each one s relation ship in functional  Areas.

There fore we can say knowledge management is a concept in a field and it s focus on the knowledge lead to distinct it from other monumental approaches. Knowledge management is only a recurrent and recovered concept in the management subject without this focus, and discussion a bout knowledge management become far from its purpose without clear explanation about knowledge. In summary, knowledge management is the art of creating value from invisible assets or intellectual assets of organization and indeed, it is evident and systematic management of knowledge and process of creating, collecting, organizing, distributing and using respect it that includes a consciously process to produce knowledge, crediting knowledge, presenting knowledge, distributing knowledge and its usage. Complete recognition of nature and importance of knowledge and knowledge management in an organization are necessary to design a knowledge management system or increasing its level in an organization, and it s necessary special pay attention to the background and fields of success and how to interact and balance among factors to achieve affective advantages for applying knowledge management in the organization by recognizing elements and their functions. Knowledge management supports organizations to use current knowledge and created knowledge newly .this branch of knowledge was apparent in organizations business strategy as a managemental field early 1990 to response business condition changes in which often corporations have been globalized.

Before this, the approaches like TQM (comprehensive quality management) and BPR (reengineering process) were approaches, organizations used them to improve functions and manage products and producing process. Knowledge management literature was brought up by developing experts systems and DDS system (decision maker) and developing in formation technology to participate knowledge and experiences. The first generation of knowledge management was reserving and accessing information wireless nets, information processablity, automatic process systems and expert systems and searching data systems, but in second generation of knowledge management with concepts like explicit knowledge, college expert groups, content management, organizational change and systematic innovation, actually this subject have been transformed since 1997.the knowledge management subject doesn’t t have long live then any scientific and academic operation have done. In this article the current situation of knowledge management in a searching center dependent on armed forces was shown and main changes was determined. Finally the set of approaches as a model to release the challenges and in crease knowledge management in the organization were recommended.

The center managers can define and plane process lead to extract increased value from knowledge sources by designed approach model.

Knowledge management:

At first it s necessary to distinct the concepts, data, information, defined knowledge and wisdom and effective key elements in knowledge management.

Data:

A reality from a situation or a case from a special field isn’t relation ship with other cases. In other words, data are identical and abstract reality links about events and they are recorded and arranged transactions organizationally.

Information:

Means <>. In other words, data aren’t <> and <> alone, but they are a kind of <>.

There fore having relation ship and purpose is specialty of in formation.

Knowledge:

Is a perception and conception produce by experience, rationalism, direct perception and learning. People s knowledge increase and produce a new knowledge by combining everyone s knowledge with other people s when they share their knowledge. Some scientists have divided the knowledge as third category of knowledge. In designing and applying knowledge management in organizations, two dimensions of implicit and tacit knowledge have more roles, although their features and natures are different from each other. Tacit knowledge is kind of knowledge can be stated vocally and formally and included grammatical sentences, mathematical formulas explanation details, writings and etc and it is trainable formally and easily implicit knowledge is kind of knowledge that its presenting with formal tongue is difficult and it is kind of personal knowledge that it hides in person experience and includes intangible and unnoticeable like skill, experience, value system and e t c and it often produce by practicing and repeating. Implicit knowledge never record and reserve in many organizations although its nature is base on organizational operational core .implicit knowledge is absolute but tacit knowledge is base on regulation that actions conform with situations according to proper rules .implicit knowledge can be asset of experiences, skills, operational views and value and subjective system within persons that they aren’t t mentionable and they have reserved in any data bases, but its place is in human s mind and he/she operation. The most important challenge of an organization should be making balance between produced implicit knowledge by people and needed tacit knowledge to make effective communication.

It means organizational knowledge is kept by correcting organizational knowledge and keeping people s knowledge leave there. It s necessary personal and in formal interactions to transfer implicit knowledge and leading the foundations to use people different thinking approaches by culturing and providing suitable condition is organizational management responsibility.

Do project managers truly, in all essence, manage projects? This is a rather tricky discussion as, ultimately, all project managers really do is manage a collection of simple to complex tasks. When you really analyze the matter, though, this is not something to simply be taken for granted, because it is in these tasks that all the vital actions take place and transpire.

Managing Tasks on a Project

The function of scoping, planning, controlling, managing risks, and more is all about figuring out what tasks are to be done and making sure they get done (at the right time and in the right order). But without the execution of those tasks, any upstream job function, such as the planning and so forth, are a waste of time. Getting the tasks done is what it is all about; and anyone aspiring to get into project management needs to know how to get tasks done — and how to lead others to do so.

Managing Tasks in a Department

Keeping a department going on a day to day basis involves spending time “at the edge”, or on the exception. It involves being both reactive, as processes are monitored and adjustments are needed, and it involves being proactive, as projects are undertaken to improve and advance the processes that exist within the department. Being good at managing change is being a good planner; but sound task management, at the end of the day, is where all the action that matters takes place. If the task does not require action, then there really is no need for management.

Managing Tasks in an Organization

Action in an organization is a collection of executable tasks within the organization. Making that action take place where it counts the most is the job of upper management. Understanding how to get things done, as well as what, why, when, where, and who, is what leadership is all about. All executives must be good at task management in order to perform effectively.

The Knowledge Economy and Task Management

The knowledge economy has a close relationship with task management; but, unfortunately, people often lose sight of the relationship. In the distant past, it used to be that an individual would be responsible for many tasks, and that is still true in many small businesses. For example, even today, a small proprietor of an auto body shop is usually intimately familiar with every detail of operations, from estimating and business development, to repairing auto bodies, to administration and finance. Much of the high-level-knowledge management work, because it is in one head, is simply executed.

In larger organizations, by contrast, a great deal of collective effort might be put into the process of just turning a bolt. For example, on a manufacturing production line, a worker may need to place a panel and connect it using a couple of bolts. The action of performing this task ends up being a small fraction of the total cost of completion. Behind the task, we will likely find work studies, statistical analysis, much planning and coordination, product design scenarios, and more – all culminating in someone tightening a couple of bolts. Without the tightening of those bolts by hand, all of the upstream work is for naught. Everyone working in “knowledge management” needs to recognize the ultimate goal of their efforts — maintain perspective on the main objective.

Personal Time Management and Task

It is easy to become frustrated with personal time management and, sometimes, even more frustrated with much more complex challenges. It always comes back to task management, no matter what level is being worked. For example, managing a project is simply an umbrella over a more complex set of tasks, and the only thing that really moves the project forward is the completion of those tasks. A similar statement can be made about department management or organization management.

A more complex situation, such as building a system, or building a building, proves the point. In the end, after all the planning, meeting, discussion, and thinking, what is left is a set of tasks that, if completed on time and within budget to proper quality standards, brings about a successful project. So it is simply a collection of everybody’s task lists, alignment with the strategy, and properly prioritizing and sequencing what ties together time and task management. And, in the end, it’s all about task management.
