The definition of the Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo as a learning community is part of the strategic reference frame of the Institute, where it is established that knowledge constitutes the main axis of the task of the organization, defining its mission: “To transform knowledge into innovating industrial applications for the strategic Pemex priorities”.

This declaration indicates that knowledge constitutes a valuable good for people, because it enriches their work constantly, favors the improvement of their performance and productivity.

And it is in this same frame that the action and intention of the Program of Knowledge Administration and Intelectual Patrimony (ACPI), of the Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo are sustained, and whose objective is to promote that learning between the members of the organization should be an inseparable habit of institutional work, so that knowledge constitutes a common patrimony. In this way it collaborates to strength IMP, as a community of learning servicing the oil industry.

The program recognizes that knowledge lies in people, who can codify it in a partial way, generating significant information for the institution. For this reason, the process of administration of knowledge focuses in identifying significant information to protect it, to keep it, to guard it, to analyze it and to reuse it, in order for it to be used again as raw material to generate new knowledge.
