Abstract

Society is exposed to a wide range of threats that can jeopardise the continuity of organisations and the security of citizens. In previous years, deliberate hybrid influence from authoritarian countries has increased significantly. Finland's comprehensive security is a cooperative concept for implementing preparedness and crisis management. Organisations involved in comprehensive security require knowledge to prepare and respond appropriately to crises. This study aimes to determine how knowledge is managed within the Finnish comprehensive security knowledge network. A theory-guided mixed methods study investigated the security-related knowledge management practices of 54 diverse Finnish organisations involved in comprehensive security. The study identifies knowledge management in a four-layer architecture: institutional, organisational, interaction, and knowledge layers, all of which need to be aligned to facilitate effective knowledge management. According to the findings, networked knowledge management works partly well, but there is potential for improvement in the breadth and depth of knowledge-sharing. This study suggests proposals for the development of knowledge networks and management for comprehensive security.
