Summary:This article aims to understand how knowledge management and organizational spirituality support organizational practical wisdom. There is a growing aspiration among some organizations to do good to society while measuring sufficient profits for its innovation and evolution. Practical wisdom has pillars related to spirituality (by seeking the best result from their actions, doing as little harm as possible) and knowledge management (by needing social and technical knowledge to weigh decision making). Practical wisdom needs action, and the best result. A systematic literature review was developed to understand the state of the art. It was not enough to propose a theoretical framework. So, an integrative literature review was developed. The scrutiny was successful in producing a theoretical framework with propositions. The present article has two main contributions, the systematization of the state of the art and the suggestion of a theoretical framework.
