It is about making sure that an organization can learn, and that it will be able to retrieve and use its knowledge assets in current applications as they are needed.

9. KM Process

10. Knowledge Management Processes The different processes Of KM are: 0 Knowledge Acquisition 0 Knowledge Storage 0 Knowledge Dissemination 0 Knowledge Application

11. Knowledge Storage Knowledge Dissemination Knowledge Application Knowledge Acquisition

12. 1. Knowledge acquisition 0 Knowledge that a firm can try to obtain from external sources. 0 The main sources are of knowledge acquisition are 0 Customers 0 Suppliers 0 Competitors 0 Partners 0 Other expertise

13. 0 Documenting tacit and explicit knowledge 0 Storing documents, reports, presentations, best practices 0 Unstructured documents (e.g., e-mails) 0 Developing online expert networks 0 Creating knowledge 1. Knowledge acquisition Cont…

14. 2. Knowledge storage 0 Knowledge Storage involves activities that "classify, map, index, and categorize knowledge for navigation, storage, and retrieval" (Botha et al. 2008). 0 Databases 0 Document management systems

15. 3. Knowledge Dissemination 0 Web Portals 0 Search engines 0 Collaboration tools 0 Training Programs 0 Informal Networks

16. 4. Knowledge Application 0 Organizational knowledge becomes systematic part of management decision making and become situated in decision-support systems. 0 New business practices 0 New products and services 0 New markets

17. THE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT VALUE CHAIN

18. KM Tools IT - Based

19. Non–IT Methods and Tools 0 Brainstorming 0 Learning and Idea Capture 0 Peer Assist 0 Learning Reviews 0 After Action Review 0 Storytelling 0 Collaborative Physical Workspace 0 Knowledge Café 0 Community of Practice 0 Taxonomy

20. IT-Based Tools 0 The IT-based tools and systems that can help knowledge management (KM) fulfill its goals, Are follows: 0 Decision Support Systems 0 access and manipulate data 0 enhance decision-making and solve problems by working with the manager rather than replacing him. 0 Data Warehouse & Data Mining 0 Warehousing data is based on the premise that the quality of a manager's decisions is based, at least in part, on the quality of his information.

21. 0 Groupware is a term that refers to technology designed to help people collaborate and includes a wide range of applications. Wikipedia defines three handy categories for groupware: 0 Communication tools: Tools for sending messages and files, including email, web publishing, wikis, filesharing, etc. 0 Conferencing tools: e.g. video/audio conferencing, chat, forums, etc. 0 Collaborative management tools: Tools for managing group activities, e.g. project management systems, workflow systems, information management systems, etc. 0 Some Others Are: 0 The intranet and extranet 0 Content management systems 0 Document management systems 0 Artificial intelligence tools 0 Simulation tools 0 Semantic networks

22. In Short….!  Knowledge: Facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education  Two Types: explicit and tacit knowledge  Why Knowledge: knowledge is a valuable asset that can be managed as effectively as physical assets  KM Process: Acquire, Store, Share, Apply  Knowledge Management is connecting people, processes and technology for the purpose of enhancing corporate knowledge.  KM Tools: IT & Non-IT  The Database Professionals of today are the Knowledge Managers of future.
