Contemporary organizations are confronted with increasing challenges in matching their structuraldesigns to the ever increasing flood of information and to the necessity to translate this informationinto actionable knowledge represented in innovations. The progression of organizations from U-forms,or simple unitary functions represented in classic bureaucracies, to M-forms, or multidivisionalstructures with many products often manufactured in many places were both embedded in aone-to-many framework, a top-down approach. However, modern organizations need to develop deeperand deeper tacit understandings that can lead to actionable knowledge that results in innovations andunique strategic advantages. This suggests a need to describe a newly emerging organizational from –the K-form. After detailing its fundamental unit, knowledge spheres, representing the increasingunderstanding from recognition of patterns in matter and energy to information to explicit and tacitknowledge to wisdom, how these spheres interact within a knowledge cube, formed by three dimensionsof domain, access, and function is discussed. Finally, the implications for practice of this approach, theintegration problem, and the importance of visualization are examined. Â
