KM vs. MIS? Management Information System Knowledge Management Efficiency Knowledge Management Competitiveness
The Information World
Information Overload Business Professional’s Perspective Too little staff to filter material…... Too much material to absorb……. Too little time absorb it all…… Too many options to have it delivered……. Too many consultants to keep track of…….
What is Knowledge? Information Data + Context Knowledge Information + Experience
What is Knowledge?
What is Knowledge? Building block of a modern organization. Knowledge is Perishable. Becomes Obsolete Quickly. Always changing. Renewing is key to competitive advantages. Knowledge = Power. Share it and it will multiply.
Type of Knowledge EXPLICIT Captured in documents, models, rules, processes …media External communication Examples Best practices White papers Movie TACIT / IMPLICIT Thought process Experience, skills, insight Behaviors, patterns Difficult to communicate Examples What & when judgements Business vision Innovation
Where is the Information? Insights Wisdom Email FAX Voice Documents, presentations, graphics News Web Sites Databases
What are we attempting to achieve? Add value to what we have by turning data into information and information into knowledge Creation of Ideas through Informational Exchange Valuating and Rating the Idea’s Worth Transforming / Implementing the Intellectual Asset Monitoring Success
Major Components of Knowledge Management Identify Experts Manage Multimedia Content Connect People and Extract Knowledge Facilities for Discussions Grapevine for Targeted Distribution Share and Distribute Knowledge Monitor Success and Reward People
What Makes Knowledge Management a Reality? Ideal Working Culture More than Technology With “Techknowledgy” Good Technology Infrastructure
For a Good Working Culture Innovation occurs “at the boundaries between mind-sets” Build a Team Culture Emphasize Importance of Knowledge Sharing Setup Virtual Teams Setup Discussion/Chat Rooms Maintain Skills Matrix Motivate People Recognize People Involved
What Exactly is Knowledge Management? The process of Creating Ideas and Identifying / Capturing Evaluating / Rating / Organizing Storing Sharing Distributing / Retrieving Maintaining a company’s collective expertise
