Ortal Knowledge Managment
What We Do Best
Knowledge Management
Strategy
The foundation for effective organizational knowledge integration begins with a strategic knowledge-management plan.
A well-designed plan is built on a systematic process of identifying knowledge needs and conducting an in-depth analysis of the organization’s cultural and technological environment, ensuring optimal use
of its resources.
Specifying knowledge-management tools
and systems
Specifying supporting technological tools, systems, and AI-based applications for organizational knowledge management.
These solutions help preserve expert knowledge, streamline access to documents and information, and enhance the organization’s ongoing work processes.
Building and Facilitating Knowledge Communities
Building and facilitating professional knowledge communities that create a collaborative space where employees exchange knowledge, develop expertise, and learn from one another.
Our service includes planning and specifying the community structure, supporting community leaders throughout the establishment process, and providing ongoing facilitation to cultivate a culture of sharing, learning, and continuous professional growth over time.
Capturing Tacit Knowledge and Developing Work Practices
Enabling the documentation, accessibility, and practical application of the organizational knowledge accumulated in the field.
Our service includes capturing tacit knowledge and documenting it, gathering insights from employees and managers, and translating practical know-how into clear, structured work practices. This process transforms unwritten expertise into formalized organizational knowledge, ensuring continuity, learning, and continuous improvement across the organization.
Training Knowledge Managers
Providing knowledge managers and their teams with the professional competencies required to plan, lead, and implement knowledge-management processes across the organization.
The training is delivered in a hybrid format— both in person and online, and integrates professional knowledge with hands-on practice inside the organization. Participants acquire the tools and capabilities needed to cultivate a culture of sharing and continuous learning.
Our Podcast
Knowledge Management Is (Not) Schmaltz
Knowledge management is far more than a profession—it’s a way of thinking, sharing, and creating real value within organizations. It is a young and evolving discipline that connects the worlds of information systems, learning, organizational development, and human resources.
In our podcast, we take listeners behind the scenes of the knowledge-management world: we speak with experts, explore real case studies from a wide range of organizations - public, business, and nonprofit - and uncover how knowledge becomes a driver of growth and innovation.
Our goal is simple: to share inspiration, insights, and practical tools, and to strengthen the knowledge-management community in Israel.

About Us
At OrTal Knowledge Management, we believe that every organization holds a wealth of knowledge - sometimes undocumented, sometimes underutilized, and often less organized or accessible than it could be.
Our expertise lies in uncovering this knowledge, transforming it into a living organizational asset, and embedding it in ways that enhance performance, foster personal and professional wellbeing, and strengthen the organization as a whole.
Led by Ortal Shmelz - consultant, lecturer, and a leading professional in knowledge management, learning, and digital transformation - we provide a comprehensive suite of strategic, technological, and methodological services.
These include cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, specifying and implementing knowledge systems, and preserving expert knowledge as a foundation for sustained organizational growth and learning.
