Knowledge Management in Non-Profit Organisations
The non‐profit sector is at present involved in a deep renewal process. Non‐profit organizations are required to deliver tailored and high‐quality services in order to overcome environmental complexity and scarcity of resources. In this context, non‐profit organizations are being called to reengineer their core processes and organizational paradigms. To achieve excellence, all available resources should be managed with increased effectiveness and efficiency, the most important of these being knowledge.

T his paper reports on a reengineering project carried out at the Italian Ministry of Treasury which tested a methodology drawn from the literature of process engineering. Multiple dimensions and actions proved to be crucial in managing the project: the paper discusses them and their relative importance over the life of the reengineering project
