Quality Management through Effective Knowledge Sharing Elli Georgiadou Middlesex University School of Science and Technology

Outline Quality Management: Planning, Assurance, Monitoring, Quality Improvement Quality Management in HE Dimensions of Quality in HE Quality is in the eye of the stakeholders Factors /forces demanding quality Knowledge Creation in Organisations Knowledge Sharing Personal knowledge creation and benefits to organisation? How to foster a Knowledge Sharing Culture? Effective Knowledge Sharing

Quality management in HE No consensus on how best to manage and measure quality within higher education institutions (HEIs). A variety of approaches have been adopted mainly from the manufacturing, industrial and business sectors

Dimensions of Quality in HE One of the most clearly defined sets of dimensions of quality for HE has been identified by Harvey and Knight (1996), who argue that quality can be broken down into five different but related dimensions: quality as exceptional (for example, high standards) quality as consistency (for example, zero defects) quality as fitness for purpose (fitting customer specifications) quality as value for money (as efficiency and effectiveness) quality as transformative (an ongoing process that includes empowerment to take action and enhancement of customer satisfaction).

Quality is in the eye of the stakeholders Different stakeholders are likely to value the importance of these different dimensions of quality according to their particular motivations and interest and interpret them differently. For example, quality as value for money is likely to be judged differently even by various internal stakeholders. Students may judge value for money according to tuition fees paid versus contact time supplied, whereas a department manager is likely to be more concerned with the effective use of resources in relation to student numbers.

Factors /forces demanding quality HE stimulates economic growth HE for the ‘ masses’ Increased accountability Greater expectations and diversity of students as consumers Need for flexibility in provision Increased competition (national/international) These forces demand that quality assurance processes are both rigorous and transparent, and that quality enhancement initiatives are firmly embedded in any quality management programme.

Knowledge Creation in Organisations Continuous knowledge creation requires voluntary actions requiring openness, scrutiny, trust and tolerance towards different views and interpretations The constructive learning process in the work-place is revealed through bottom-up knowledge creation spread from individual to individual in the socialization process The organisation’s responsibility is to align organisational learning investment with organisational value outcome taking into account both current and future organisational tasks

Knowledge Sharing Knowledge sharing is aided, hindered, moulded by individual, organisational and national culture attitudes slogans symbols heroes and rituals

Knowledge Creation in Organisations Continuous knowledge creation requires voluntary actions requiring openness, scrutiny, trust and tolerance towards different views and interpretations The constructive learning process in the work-place is revealed through bottom-up knowledge creation spread from individual to individual in the socialization process The organisation’s responsibility is to align organisational learning investment with organisational value outcome taking into account both current and future organisational tasks

Why is the creation and application of new knowledge essential to the survival of organisations? Increasing staff turn over Intangible products Continuous innovation Lack of awareness of existing knowledge Accelerating change in technology generates difficulties in catching up

Relevant Research by Hofstede Trompenaars Schein Triandis Biro Balstrup Siakas Georgiadou

Expected Outcomes from effective Knowledge Sharing Improved organisational learning New knowledge creation and innovation Knowledge re-use Since knowledge is primarily created by individuals a company-wide cultural change, including effective collaboration and communication, is needed for embracing knowledge sharing initiatives

How to foster a Knowledge Sharing Culture? By promoting and rewarding – Creativity – Inventiveness – Active exchange of ideas – Change

Cultural Diversity: an opportunity or a hindrance Since all individuals carry with them the mental cultural programming since childhood an organisational change may conflict with their basic national values Organisations operate on a global scale Culturally diverse workforce Organisations which recognise and cater for diversity have a competitive advantage

Effective Knowledge Sharing Effective Knowledge Sharing is a critical organisational factor National and the organisational culture are decisive for moulding, hindering or aiding attitudes regarding knowledge sharing and organisational knowledge Willingness to share knowledge is influenced by cultural dynamics from the external environment (national culture) and from the internal environment (organisational and individual culture)

The I5P Visualisation Framework for Performance Estimation through the Alignment of Process Maturity and Knowledge Sharing [Georgiadou et al]

I(1) - Incidental This is the level where the processes are simply performed in an ad-hoc manner and are characterised by unpredictability. Knowledge resides with individuals and knowledge sharing is absent or minimal.

I(2) - Intentional At this level the project management is characterised by repeatability. Best practice has been identified and documented, so that knowledge about successful practices can be shared amongst the project team. Subsequent projects undertaken by the team benefit as the characteristic of repeatability.

I(3) - Implementational At this level processes are defined and generalisable. Knowledge is shared between projects.

(4) - Intelligent At this level processes are performed, repeatable, defined and managed. Measurability is the main characteristic of the processes which in turn provides useful intelligence thereby enhancing performance at an institutional level. Knowledge sharing is institutionalised.

I(5) – Innovative / Improving This level is characterised by optimisability and continuous improvement. Knowledge sharing is institutionalised and quantitative. Improvements are achieved from continuous feedback, across teams, within and across projects and across the whole organisation. All employees understand, embraced and practice the philosophy of knowledge sharing. Processes are continuously improving and innovative ideas of all employees find fertile ground.

Knowledge Sharing Strategies Show benefits – Build trust Support by Technology Reward desired behaviour Learn from mistakes Create Role Models Train stakeholders Include in job descriptions
