Therefore, this work, in addition to an update of the previously carried out bibliographic survey, proposes to validate the knowledge management implementation model and strategic guidelines based on critical success factors of knowledge management aimed at organizational memory in Brazilian organizations and based on the results found, to develop comparative studies with the results obtained in Spanish organizations.
