%X After giving a working definition based on his organisation¡¯s understanding of Knowledge Management (KM), the author outlines his ¡®prospected¡¯ method to process KM within his organisation. Based on first-hand experience, in this case study main barriers to implementing the ¡®prospected¡¯ KM process are presented, including some ideas and ways to deal with selected barriers. As the author¡¯s experience derives from an intercultural context, this paper addresses issues to consider when working in such an environment. As findings, main cultural challenges are identified as: different influences of hierarchies; language barriers even within a single organisation, differences in individuals¡¯ skills, priority of ad-hoc activities and different accessibility and usage of technology.
