According to Peter Drucker, knowledge has power because it controls access to opportunity and advancement. The 21st century is undoubtedly the century of knowledge. The everyday usage of available advanced information and business technologies, and internet in business activities just show how rampant corporations are engaged in information exchange and Knowledge Management.
In the light of globalization, companies are now exposed to unpredictable and complex competitive environment. Pressures are put on companies to adapt quickly to survive in the competitive market. The vital strategic resource is Knowledge. Companies have started to realize the major value of intellectual resource. The central role of Knowledge Management in making quality decision has never been emphasized as much as today.
Intellectual resources and Knowledge are now contributing to revenue generation and increasing reputation. It has contributed to creating barriers to entry of potential competitors, increase customer loyalty, and create innovation. In today's world, the success of the organization now depends largely on continual investment in learning and acquiring new Knowledge that creates new business and improve current performance.
This primer on Knowledge Management examines and discusses the purpose and nature of the key components of Knowledge Management (KM). This presentation demystifies the KM field by explaining in a precise manner the key concepts of KM tools, strategies, and techniques, and their benefits to organizations.
The shift to Knowledge Economy and the New Information Age has made intangible resources, such as information, a decisive factor to success.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT outlines the multidisciplinary approach of Knowledge Management, integrating technology, processes, and people. It also provides a detailed framework for the Knowledge Assets Lifecycle, ensuring continuous improvement and competitive advantage.
This PPT slide outlines the concept of Information Hierarchy, detailing its 3 levels: Operational Knowledge, Tactical Knowledge, and Strategic Knowledge. Each level serves a distinct purpose and focuses on different aspects of organizational effectiveness.
Operational Knowledge is foundational, aiding organizations in understanding service performance, compliance, and overall IT operational effectiveness. This level is crucial for ensuring that day-to-day operations run smoothly and meet established standards. The focus here is on achieving operational effectiveness, which is essential for maintaining a reliable service delivery framework.
Tactical Knowledge builds on the operational layer by helping organizations manage processes and ensure service value. It emphasizes the management of process performance, regulatory compliance, and security assurance. This level is vital for organizations looking to optimize their operations and ensure that they are delivering value to customers while adhering to necessary regulations.
Strategic Knowledge sits at the top of the hierarchy, guiding organizations in understanding the broader effects of operational decisions. It addresses how organizations can deliver cost-effective, quality solutions and services. The focus on benchmarking and advanced analytics indicates a shift towards data-driven decision-making, which is increasingly important in today’s competitive environment.
The slide concludes with a note on the necessity of a well-defined knowledge hierarchy. It stresses that the resulting knowledge must be comprehensive and of high quality, ensuring that organizations can leverage it effectively for informed decision-making. This structured approach to knowledge management is critical for organizations aiming to enhance their overall performance and strategic positioning.
This PPT slide presents the DIKW model, a framework that delineates the hierarchical relationship among Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom. At the base of the pyramid is Data, which serves as the raw input. As data is processed and contextualized, it transforms into Information. This progression continues as Information is analyzed and synthesized, leading to the development of Knowledge. At the apex of the pyramid lies Wisdom, representing the ability to make sound judgments based on Knowledge.
The slide emphasizes that the DIKW model is not just a theoretical construct, but a practical tool for organizations undergoing Business Transformation. It highlights the importance of understanding customer and stakeholder perspectives, suggesting that this model can guide strategic decision-making. The visual representation of the pyramid effectively illustrates the flow from basic data to higher-order thinking, making it clear that each level builds upon the previous one.
The accompanying text reinforces the model's utility in guiding informed decisions and actions, indicating its relevance in a business context. This structured approach can help organizations harness their data more effectively, ensuring that insights are actionable and aligned with strategic objectives.
For executives considering this framework, the slide serves as a compelling introduction to the potential benefits of implementing the DIKW model in their operations. It suggests that by leveraging this model, organizations can enhance their decision-making processes and better navigate the complexities of modern business environments.
This PPT slide titled "Knowledge Assets – Overview" outlines the critical role of knowledge assets within an organization. It defines knowledge assets as firm-specific resources essential for generating value and emphasizes their importance for growth and human development. The slide presents 5 fundamental characteristics that define these assets: Integrity, Availability, Repeatability, Measurable, and Traceability.
Each characteristic plays a pivotal role in how knowledge assets contribute to an organization's overall effectiveness. Integrity ensures that the knowledge is reliable and trustworthy, while Availability indicates that the knowledge is accessible when needed. Repeatability refers to the ability to replicate successful processes, which is crucial for consistency in performance. Measurable highlights the need for quantifying knowledge assets to assess their impact effectively. Finally, Traceability allows organizations to track the origin and evolution of knowledge, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement.
The slide also suggests that the significance of knowledge assets varies based on the organization's goals, objectives, and strategies. This implies that a one-size-fits-all approach does not apply; rather, companies must tailor their knowledge management strategies to align with their unique circumstances. The call to action emphasizes the necessity for organizations to identify and quantify their knowledge resources, which is fundamental for maximizing their utility and managing the knowledge creation process effectively. This insight is particularly relevant for decision-makers looking to enhance their organization's knowledge management capabilities.
This PPT slide outlines the Knowledge Assets Lifecycle, a structured framework designed to enhance value creation through effective Knowledge Management (KM) across an organization. It breaks down the lifecycle into 4 main phases, each with distinct objectives and processes.
The first phase, Asset Definition, focuses on identifying and defining the knowledge assets or artifacts relevant to the enterprise. This involves careful planning, research, and approval processes to ensure that the assets align with organizational goals. It sets the foundation for subsequent phases by clearly articulating what knowledge assets are essential.
The second phase, Asset Rollout, is about facilitating the adoption of KM practices within the organization. This phase includes various activities such as collection, communication, and consulting, alongside change management and training initiatives. The goal here is to ensure that the defined knowledge assets are effectively integrated into the organization's operations.
In the third phase, Asset Enforcement, the focus shifts to monitoring and controlling the practices surrounding the knowledge assets. This phase involves conducting capability reviews to assess the effectiveness of the KM practices and making necessary corrections. It ensures that the organization maintains a high standard of knowledge asset management.
Finally, the Evolution phase emphasizes continuous improvement. It requires ongoing evaluation of the processes in place to ensure they remain aligned with business objectives. This phase encourages organizations to adapt and refine their KM practices based on feedback and changing needs.
Overall, the Knowledge Assets Lifecycle provides a comprehensive approach for organizations aiming to optimize their knowledge management efforts, ensuring that they not only define and implement, but also continually improve their KM strategies.
