In the era of knowledge economy, the complexity and unknown risks of policy formulation continue to rise. The traditional experience-driven decision-making model is no longer able to meet the refined needs of modern public governance, let alone adapt to the development requirements of public governance modernization. Strategic knowledge management provides critical intellectual support for the entire policy formulation process through its systematic integration of explicit and tacit knowledge resources. This article is based on the dual theoretical perspectives of knowledge management and public decision-making, combined with practical government operation cases at home and abroad, to deeply analyze the core functions of strategic knowledge management in the complete chain of policy agenda establishment, program discussion, execution adjustment, evaluation feedback, etc. Research has shown that strategic knowledge management can enhance the overall effectiveness of policy formulation and help solve decision-making problems in modern public governance by improving the quality of decision-making information, compressing policy formulation cycles, and strengthening the adaptability of policies to actual needs. The research conclusion of this article can provide practical reference for the government to build a strategic knowledge management framework, enhance the scientific level of policy formulation, and provide new ideas for policy optimization in the process of modernizing public governance.
