Interconnection of Values and Organizational Knowledge Systems PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 21-slide Dimensions of Core Competence PowerPoint presentation, discusses the critical role of "Values & Norms" within the framework of Core Competence. It asserts that this dimension is essential in shaping the preceding 3 dimensions, emphasizing that Core Competence is not just a standalone concept, but an interconnected system of knowledge. The text highlights how values influence the content and structure of knowledge within an organization. For instance, it contrasts different approaches to knowledge, such as open source versus proprietary systems, and various means of knowledge collection, like formal education versus experiential learning.

The slide also notes that values are not merely abstract concepts; they manifest in physical systems and organizational practices. This suggests that the culture of an organization is deeply embedded in its operational frameworks. The reference to values bearing the “imprint” of a company’s founding and early leadership indicates that foundational beliefs and norms have a lasting impact on the organization’s identity and decision-making processes.

This insight is particularly valuable for potential customers considering the document, as it underscores the importance of aligning organizational values with strategic objectives. Understanding how values and norms shape knowledge systems can lead to more effective decision-making and a stronger organizational culture. The concluding remark about the 4 dimensions reflecting accumulated behaviors and beliefs reinforces the idea that a company’s core competencies are deeply rooted in its historical context and cultural framework. This holistic view can guide executives in evaluating their own organizations and identifying areas for improvement.
