Copyright © 2005 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning All rights reserved 2 Learning Objectives Explain knowledge management and how it creates value for organizations. Describe the basic features of the Delphi technique, simulation, and scenario forecasting aids. Use Osborns creativity model to stimulate adaptive and innovative decisions. Apply three quality management decision and planning aids: benchmarking, the Deming cycle, and the balanced scorecard model.

KM is generally viewed as consisting of three main components: –Explicit Knowledge –Tacit Knowledge –Enabling Technologies

Copyright © 2005 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning All rights reserved 4 Knowledge Management Drivers Knowledge is becoming more valuable than physical or financial assets, or even natural resources. Organizations that are reevaluating knowledge strategies are finding shortcomings such as: –Productivity and opportunity loss –Information overload –Knowledge attrition –Reinventing the wheel

Copyright © 2005 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning All rights reserved 5 Knowledge Management Targets The application of KM has three natural targets: –an organizations teams –customers –workforce

Copyright © 2005 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning All rights reserved 6 Enabling Technology Technology provides the foundation for solutions that automate sharing of knowledge and fostering innovation. Choosing technologies involve addressing two critical issues: –technologies should deliver only relevant information, but quickly from every feasible source –technologies need to comprise a variety of devices, from telephone to laptop computers

To help create a sense of trust and positive cultural response in the InTouch service at SchlumbergerSema the following implementation was used:: –A knowledge champion was assigned as a focal point –Extensive input from the field employees was sought –A knowledge-sharing culture was developed

Common forecasting pitfalls include: –listening to the media –assuming that things are going to return the way they used to be –hearsay –tunnel vision

Copyright © 2005 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning All rights reserved 9 Delphi Technique The Delphi technique is a forecasting aid based on a consensus of a panel of experts. The heart of the Delphi technique is a series of questionnaires. The Delphi technique typically involves at least three phases. –A questionnaire is sent to a group of experts –A summary of the first phase is prepared –A summary of the second phase is prepared Three phases are recommended; however, experts tend to drop out after the third phase because of time constraints.
