Study Notes
Knowledge as Power
- Knowledge is not enough, its true value lies in being able to apply it in a competent manner.
- The value of knowledge is zero; it's what you do with it that matters.
- Intellectual capital (knowledge, methodologies, and skills) is a company's most valuable asset, giving it a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Assessing Politics and Power
- Questions to assess politics and power:
- How did the most powerful people get into their current roles?
- Who sets the agenda?
- How are decisions made?
- Who's working on the most strategic initiatives?
- Who's rising and who's falling?
- Who has the ear of top management?
- Who does everyone want to work for?
- How toxic is the environment?
Understanding Knowledge Management
- Data > Information > Knowledge: knowledge is the best way to interpret facts and use information.
- Knowledge becomes codified into policies, practices, and experiences of an organization.
- It is what makes individuals and organizations unique and serves as the basis for all business skills and abilities.
Data to Knowledge Hierarchy
- Understanding Principles (Why?)
- Understanding Patterns (How)
- Understanding Relations (Who, What, When, Where?)
Repositories and Knowledge Transfer
- Repositories: organizational documents, learning, presentation slides, tips, decision-making tools, and expert assistance as needed.
- Communities of Practice: index profiles for customization, expert knowledge base, best practices reports, and collaboration tools.
Challenges of Knowledge Management
- Establishing an enterprise-wide vocabulary to ensure correct understanding of knowledge.
- Identifying, modeling, and explicitly representing knowledge.
- Sharing and reusing knowledge among different applications and users.
Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
- Old: Knowledge is power. New: Sharing knowledge is a greater power.
- If we share what we know, we will meet our individual and strategic targets.
- Knowledge seeking requires relational qualities, such as:
- Knowing what someone else knows.
- Access to their thinking.
- Closeness of relationship.
- Physical proximity.
- Organizational design.
- Collaborative technology.
