Since the emergence of Knowledge Management (KM) during the middle ‘90’s, with its original promise of becoming the panacea for leveraging all intellectual capital and unlocking organisational wisdom and value, Knowledge Management has evolved through a series of often failed incarnations, to become a respected strategic discipline in many highly competitive, innovative or seriously service oriented organisations.
The failure of many of the early KM interventions, was as a result of a fixation and focus on a “systems” approach to KM, with only limited elements of people engagement and change management involved. In reality however, systems share information and only people can share knowledge.
Learn how to effectively identify, plan & manage your:
Key knowledge Needs and Drivers
Barriers and Benefits
Knowledge Culture and Environment
Knowledge Habits and Practices
Knowledge Assets and Experts
Knowledge Tools and Enablers
Change Management needs and drivers
Over time, it became clear that only those KM interventions that involved a carefully integrated synthesis between the knowledge culture, people practices, knowledge assets and knowledge tools would be successful and sustainable.
This workshop provides a detailed insight into a best practice KM methodology known a the Integr8ed Knowledge Management Framework™ which has been developed over many years of international research and practical experience by the Knowledge Management Institute (Pty) Ltd.
After attending this highly interactive 2 day workshop, delegates will be able to:
Understand the history and evolution of Knowledge Management
Discuss early KM models and reasons for their limited successes
Position KM as a strategic discipline and organisational imperative
Identify the key knowledge needs and drivers for their organisations
Map the typical knowledge sharing barriers versus benefits matrix
Develop a high level KM strategy within a sustainable KM framework
Assess and nurture the knowledge culture and environment
Initiate effective and sustainable knowledge habits and practices
Identify and profile the knowledge assets and experts
Select and implement the appropriate knowledge tools and enablers
Scope & plan the change management required for implementation
Develop an integrated projects and program management plan
Articulate the Integr8ed Knowledge Management Framework™
