The article provides an analysis of the success factors for the introduction of the knowledge management program, describes the step-by-step implementation algorithm, identifies the barriers that arise in the course of the work and the relationship with the corporate culture, and an analysis of the current state of the knowledge management market and its prospects.

In the implementation phase of the knowledge management project, professionals face barriers that can be broken down into three factors: individual, collective, organizational.
