The results showed that the Greater Amman Municipality followed a set of practical stages in order to integrate knowledge management in the daily operations of the organization, from the awareness stage to ensure commitment to the planning and implementation stage, disseminate knowledge, and then ensure effective communication between the parties involved in this experiment.
