The need for Knowledge Management (KM) has been drastically increasing so organizations may meet the high level of complex business change, dynamics and uncertainty. This research, quantitative and qualitative, approaches the challenge of the KM in a sample of Mexican organizations, a large number of them do not have a standardized model from which they can obtain benefits in order they can achieve higher revenue, increase the employee collaboration and innovation, which impacts not only in the organization's productivity, competitiveness but in the country one. We found that large companies, with more than 10,000 employees) have already an incipient and isolated KM implementation, most of them with meagre results. In the other side most of the companies within 50 and 1000 employees has no KM implementation, usage or scheme in how to get benefit or instrument a KM solution, they are immediate candidates due to their market position, services they offer and their search to obtain a value added service or product with shorter production cycles, and also due their need to innovate using their own explicit knowledge. We propose a model its usage in Mexican organization to allow them to identify and take advantage of the suitable knowledge and aligned it with their business strategy. The theoretical frame is based in the best practices emitted by international organizations such as the OECD, researchers and leaders in this expertise area and research line, also based in the diverse actual models for KM.The KM goal may vary in the companies, the analysis showed the pertinence to evaluate and measure the benefit and return of investment when they pretend to implement a KM solution, and must add a positive value to the organization to the Mexican Organization. The proposed model, ADSA, includes four stages: analysis, design, solution, appreciation. Each one it is logically aligned to the business requirement a knowledge based value generation, always following up the social and technical enablers. A properly used knowledge management strategy will impact positively in a higher revenue or profit, and also contributes in the generation of collective intelligence, that cans impulse the construction, and sustain for Mexico's knowledge economy.
