After coming up with my own list of 51 potential pieces of the knowledge management puzzle, Jack Vinson made some great suggestions as to other pieces that could be included. Jack also suggested that these disparate elements be categorized somehow — so I took a stab at putting them into broad categories.
These are the groupings I came up with, but I would eventually like to create a better visual representation of what knowledge management actually consists of. I will also be updating this post to include the actual Microsoft Visio diagram that I used to create this image, so that if anyone else wants to move boxes around to create their own categories, they can.

IMHO, the following four categories could be a better categorizations. (several of the issues would fall under process, tech & people categories. I’m also not able to understand the requirement of having a related skills & discipline category which could also fall in the process, tech & people categories)
1. Process & Methodologies
2. Technology
3. People & organization
4. Metrics (an important category you missed out, for performance measure)
I hope this add some value & direction to your though process.
