KM is essentially about getting the right knowledge to the right person at the right time. Failure can occur due to a lack of leadership support in the organisation. Issues in setting the right goal also contributes to the failure of KM.

Logically thinking, for any project to succeed in any organization, it is
subtle for one to absolutely understand the concepts of the projects. The first and foremost reason why KM projects fail in any organization is the lack of understandings in the KM concepts. As simple as just asking oneself, how can something be delivered without any understandings of the delivery? KM is essentially about getting the right knowledge to the right person at the right time. It does sounds simple but it goes through a lot of stages. Therefore, there should be an awareness of the importance of content which means a bright red note should be put on the concept of KM. Even if one has understands the concept of KM, another failure in succeeding the project is inadequate management support. The implementation of a KM program involves the creation, acceptance, and adoption of processes, values, and systems that are either company-wide or in the very least span across functions, departments, and communities. KM requires strong guidance, decision-making and change implementation. To put it easy, failure can occur due to a lack of leadership support in the organisation. As the Warren Benniss saying goes, leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. Next, issues in setting the right goal also contributes to the failure of KM. This is mostly due to poor planning. The implementation of KM needs to be focused on the organisation's strategic business objectives and critical business problems. In other words, the implementation of KM requires a long-term and practical outlook. Therefore, proper planning and continuous evaluation are needed to ensure that all aspects of KM are being implemented effectively and work well together. There was one saying from Les Brown that says Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, youll land among the stars. This means that goal is the moon. That is the only goal, but even if you miss, there is still a huge chance of succeeding in another way. Another contribution to the failure of KM is the cultural issues. Culture can vary on an organisational or community level. Organisational culture consists of the values and beliefs of its members. Since knowledge management initiatives span functions and departments, an understanding of all the facets of an organisation's culture is critical. Culture plays a critical role in the willingness of organisational members to share knowledge since it affects trust and the willingness and ability to learn on an individual, group, and organisational level. Lastly, improper implementation of technology is also one of the many reasons why KM projects fail in any organization. Problems related to KM performance include poor technical infrastructure, poor representation of knowledge, and poor usability. In other words, failure can occur due to IT systems that can either not handle the demand placed on them, that represent knowledge in a way that does not meet the needs of its users, or that are not user-friendly. Technology plays an important but limited role in KM, particularly when dealing with tacit knowledge. The idea is that failure is likely to occur when the IT system is seen as a solution in itself. Moreover, failure can also occur if the
limitations of the IT systems, particularly in regards to tacit knowledge, are not
