Abstract

Objective: Knowledge Management plays a strategic role in the governance of innovation ecosystems by fostering the creation, sharing, and application of knowledge among the actors involved. However, this topic remains underexplored in the literature. In this context, this article aims to diagnose Knowledge Management in the governance structures of Estação 43.

Methods: The research, with a quantitative approach, descriptive character, and field nature, used a structured questionnaire based on the model by Bukowitz and Williams (2002), adapted and validated by specialists. The instrument was applied via Google Forms, with a link sent through WhatsApp to the representatives of the 12 vertical governance structures of Estação 43. Data collection took place between May and August 2024, and the data were analyzed in a descriptive and consolidated manner.

Results: The questionnaire was answered by representatives of 10 verticals. The results indicate that Knowledge Management is institutionalized within the governance structures, with an overall average of 70.36%, higher than the theoretical reference of 55%. The best-performing sections were “build/maintain” (80.83%), “use” (80.56%), “learn” (79.43%), and “contribute” (76.39%), demonstrating maturity in the application and sharing of knowledge. The sections “obtain” (52.5%), “evaluate” (55.0%), and “discard” (67.78%) showed weaknesses, indicating a need for improvement in knowledge acquisition, measurement, and updating.

Conclusions: Estação 43 demonstrates consolidated practices in the use, learning, and preservation of knowledge. In this regard, the governance structures show the ability to transform knowledge into action, promoting collaboration and the continuity of activities. However, weaknesses persist in the acquisition, evaluation, and updating of information, highlighting the need for greater systematization. Overall, the study reinforces the strategic role of Knowledge Management in strengthening governance structures and ensuring the sustainability of innovation ecosystems.
