Building on the theoretical foundation of others, this case study demonstrates the value of KM modeling in a science‐based initiative in the Canadian public service.
Findings
The Inukshuk KM model, which comprises the five elements of technology, leadership, culture, measurement, and process, provides a holistic approach in public service KM.
Practical implications
The proposed model can be employed by other initiatives to facilitate KM planning and implementation.
Originality/value
This the first project to consider how KM models may be implemented in a Canadian public service environment.
