    Abstract

    The paper argues that implementing a knowledge management (KM) strategy during the implementation of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) would improve, in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, speed, and accuracy, the phases of the BPR. A specific BPR process from the literature was chosen. The paper provides a strategy on how KM, in particular tacit knowledge management, can be introduced during the execution of the first three phases of the identified BPR process. The paper identifies for each of these phases the type and kind of knowledge sources, what knowledge should be captured? What knowledge should be nurtured and retained? In addition, the paper addresses tacit knowledge transformation among the phases as a result of the capture and nurture of such knowledge among the members of the team involved in the BPR process.
