Questions for the Opening Vignette What are the key impediments to the use of knowledge in a knowledge management system? What features are incorporated in a knowledge nugget in this implementation? Where else could such a system be implemented?

Introduction to Knowledge Management Knowledge management concepts and definitions Knowledge management The active management of the expertise in an organization. It involves collecting, categorizing, and disseminating knowledge Intellectual capital The invaluable knowledge of an organization’s employees

Introduction to Knowledge Management Knowledge is information that is contextual, relevant, and actionable understanding, awareness, or familiarity acquired through education or experience anything that has been learned, perceived, discovered, inferred, or understood. In a knowledge management system, “knowledge is information in action”

Introduction to Knowledge Management

Introduction to Knowledge Management Characteristics of knowledge Extraordinary leverage and increasing returns Fragmentation, leakage, and the need to refresh Uncertain value Uncertain value of sharing Knowledge-based economy The economic shift from natural resources to intellectual assets

Introduction to Knowledge Management Explicit and tacit knowledge Explicit (leaky) knowledge Knowledge that deals with objective, rational, and technical material (data, policies, procedures, software, documents, etc.) Easily documented, transferred, taught, and learned Examples…

Introduction to Knowledge Management Explicit and tacit knowledge Tacit (embedded) knowledge Knowledge that is usually in the domain of subjective, cognitive, and experiential learning. It is highly personal and hard to formalize. Hard to document, transfer, teach, & learn Involves a lot of human interpretation Examples…

Taxonomy of Knowledge

Organizational Knowledge - Learning and Transformation Learning organization An organization capable of learning from its past experience, implying the existence of an organizational memory and a means to save, represent, and share it through its personnel Organizational memory Repository of what the organization knows

Organizational Knowledge - Learning and Transformation Organizational culture The aggregate attitudes in an organization concerning a certain issue (e.g., technology, computers, DSS) How do people learn the “culture”? Is it explicit or implicit? Can culture be changed? How? Give some examples of corporate culture: Microsoft, Google, Apple, HP, GM, …

Approaches to Knowledge Management Process approach to knowledge management attempts to codify organizational knowledge through formalized controls, processes and technologies Focuses on explicit knowledge and IT Practice approach focuses on building the social environments or communities of practice necessary to facilitate the sharing of tacit understanding Focuses on tacit knowledge and socialization

Approaches to Knowledge Management Hybrid approaches to knowledge management The practice approach is used so that a repository stores only explicit knowledge that is relatively easy to document Tacit knowledge initially stored in the repository is contact information about experts and their areas of expertise Increasing the amount of tacit knowledge over time eventually leads to the attainment of a true process approach Hybrid at 80/20 to 50/50

Approaches to Knowledge Management Best practices In an organization, the best methods for solving problems. These are often stored in the knowledge repository of a knowledge management system Knowledge repository is the actual storage location of knowledge in a knowledge management system. Similar in nature to a database, but generally text-oriented

Approaches to Knowledge Management A Comprehensive View to Knowledge Repository

Information Technology (IT) in Knowledge Management The KMS cycle KMS usually follow a six-step cycle: Create knowledge Capture knowledge Refine knowledge Store knowledge Manage knowledge Disseminate knowledge

Information Technology (IT) in Knowledge Management The Cyclic Model of Knowledge Management

Information Technology (IT) in Knowledge Management Components of KMS KMS are developed using three sets of core technologies: Communication Collaboration Storage and retrieval Technologies that support KM Artificial intelligence Intelligent agents Knowledge discovery in databases Web 2.0, …

Characteristics of Groupwork Groupwork  the work done by two or more people together A group performs a task Members may be located in different places Group members may work at different times Group members may work for the same organization or for different organizations A group can be permanent or temporary A group can be at one managerial level or span several levels …

Why Groupwork/Collaborate? Make Decisions Review Build Trust Synergy Share the Vision Share Information Share Work Solve Problems Socialize Build Consensus

Group Decision-Making Process Why? Because no one has all the Experience Knowledge Resources Insight, and Inspiration … to do the job alone. Difficult decisions require group of people Virtual teams?

Groupwork

Groupwork – Process Gains and Losses

Supporting Groupwork – Group Support Systems Goal: to support groupwork Increase benefits / decrease losses Based on traditional methods Nominal Group Technique “Individuals work alone to generate ideas which are pooled under guidance of a trained facilitator” Delphi Method “A structured process for collecting and distilling knowledge from a group of experts by means of questionnaires” Electronic Meeting System (EMS)

A Time/Place Communication Framework for Groupwork

Tools for Indirect Support of Decision Making Groupware products provide a way for groups to share resources and opinions Synchronous or Asynchronous Examples dropbox.com drive.google.com office.microsoft.com … See Table 12.5 for a list of examples

Groupware… Virtual Meeting Systems GroupSystems (Groupsystems.com) webex.com, gotomeeting.com, Skype.com, … GroupSystems (Groupsystems.com) Collaborative Workflow Web 2.0 Search, links, authoring, tags, extensions, signals Wikis Collaborative Networks

Group Decision Support Systems It is an interactive computer-based system that facilitates the solution of semistructured or unstructured problems by a group of decision makers Goal – support group decision making A specially designed IS to enhance collaborative decision processes It encourages generation of ideas, freedom of expression, and resolution of conflicts

GDSS – Pros and Cons Gains: Loses: Parallelism Anonymity  Triggering Synergy Structure Record keeping Loses: Free-riding Flaming

Facilities for GDSS Decision room Multiple-use facility Web based

The Decision Room 12 to 30 networked personal computers Usually recessed into the desktop Server PC Large-screen projection system Breakout rooms Need a trained facilitator for success
