contribution to describe and examine visually <strong>the</strong> evolution <strong>of</strong> where difficulty arises more precisely in
an organisation:
Sharpens visual strength between establishment <strong>of</strong> Non-IT and IT and where gap lies
Outlines indication and determinant perceived
To simulate and focus on what is important, alongside justification <strong>of</strong> effectiveness
Allows identification <strong>of</strong> where alignment can take place, giving useful results as indicators for

6. Conclusion
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this paper highlighted and explored a multiple dual phase, a new potential centricity to
exploring Non-IT and IT dimensions exhibited in an organisation. This research attempts to <strong>of</strong>fer
streng<strong>the</strong>ning contribution to <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory and practice between measuring and comparative
analysis <strong>of</strong> Non-IT and IT data <strong>of</strong> KM and better identification to an organisation. The contextualised
Kiviat diagram provides an important rich base <strong>of</strong> formal comparative analysis paradigm between <strong>the</strong>
two, findings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se suggest <strong>the</strong> framework provides vital concrete measures to support KM
implementation for management decision to experiment. It is important to note <strong>the</strong> fore mentioned
features as well as <strong>the</strong> threshold values are specific to groups <strong>of</strong> stakeholders and particular
organisations. Future work will involve industrially based evaluations where practitioners can provide
fur<strong>the</strong>r insights to explore <strong>the</strong> field deeper and grasp an even greater picture.
