Study Notes
Knowledge Management Solutions
- Knowledge management solutions refer to various ways of facilitating knowledge management.
- Four levels of knowledge management solutions:
- Knowledge Management (KM) Systems
- KM Processes
- KM Mechanisms and Technologies
- KM Infrastructure
Knowledge Management Systems
- Integration of technologies and mechanisms to support KM processes.
- Utilize various KM mechanisms and technologies to support KM processes:
- Knowledge Management Discovery Systems
- Knowledge Management Capture Systems
- Knowledge Management Sharing Systems
- Knowledge Application Systems
Knowledge Management Processes
- Discovery: developing new tacit or explicit knowledge from data and information.
- Combination: synthesizing explicit knowledge to create new, more complex sets of explicit knowledge.
- Socialization: synthesizing tacit knowledge across individuals through joint activities.
- Capture: retrieving explicit or tacit knowledge that resides within people, artifacts, or organizations.
- Sharing: communicating or transferring explicit knowledge between individuals, groups, and organizations.
- Application: utilizing explicit or tacit knowledge to carry out tasks.
Knowledge Management Mechanisms
- Organizational or structural means used to promote KM.
- Examples: learning by doing, on-the-job training, learning by observation, face-to-face meetings.
Knowledge Management Technologies
- Technologies that support KM, including:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies
- Electronic discussion groups
- Computer-based simulations
- Databases
- Decision support systems
- Expert systems
- Management information systems
- Expertise locator systems
- Videoconferencing
- Information repositories (best practices databases, lessons learned systems)
Knowledge Management Infrastructure
- Organizational Culture: understanding the value of KM practices, management support, incentives for knowledge sharing, and encouragement of interaction for knowledge creation and sharing.
- Organizational Structure: hierarchical structure affects people with whom individuals interact and transfer knowledge.
- Communities of Practice (COP): groups dedicated to a common discipline or practice, excel at obtaining, storing, sharing, and using knowledge.
- Information Technology Infrastructure: includes data processing, storage, and communication technologies and systems (reach, depth, richness, and aggregation).
- Common Knowledge: organization's cumulative experiences and organizing principles that support communication and coordination.
- Physical Environment: design of buildings, location, size, and type of offices, and meeting rooms.
