It is widely recognized that knowledge is an essential strategic resource for a firm to retain sustainable competitive advantage. Knowledge management systems usually will be responsible for this role. Organizations for effective and efficient management of knowledge must have a documented strategic plan. Holding companies (HCs) differ in their nature and behavior from other types of companies. However, due to the specific features and conditions of Holding Companies in our country, the usual Knowledge management strategic planning methods are not appropriate and it’s necessary to design a method to suit them. This paper has tried to use strategic control perspective, and presented a four-step methodology for planning strategic knowledge management programs at Holding Companies. The findings indicate a four-step methodology (including a general formulation, organizing, classifying companies based on the maturity level of knowledge management and integration of operational planning at the level of the subsidiary companies) based on strategic control to plan and lead knowledge management in holding companies due to the maturity level of knowledge of in subsidiary companies.
