Why we manage knowledge? • Focusing on the knowledge, which is connected with business processes may improve productivity • Proper management of knowledge may improve company’s core competencies • Knowledge Management (KM) may create an added value and give the company a strategic advantage in competition

Importance of Knowledge Knowledge is now recognized as the most valuable intangible assets Knowledge have become key drivers for competitive advantage: productivity, quality, and innovation (and more) 4

Paradigm Shift From … To … Knowledge Shared is Power MULTIPLIED Robert Noyce 5

Knowledge as a person’s thought ………. “ A person’s thoughts are like water in a deep well, but someone with insight can draw them out ” - Proverbs 20:5 7

What is Knowledge Management?  Pretentious label for Information Management  Complex work involved in organizing access to information resources  Latest management fad

What is Knowledge Management? KM is an integrated approach for creating, sharing, and applying knowledge to enhance organizational productivity, profitability, and growth. Asian Productivity Organization ’ s definition

Knowledge Management Connects  People with People  People with Information

Difference between Information & Knowledge Information & Knowledge

Information is:  Visible  Independent from action and decision  Physical product  Independent from existing environment  Easily transferable  Can be duplicated

While Knowledge  Can’t be duplicated  Closely related to action and decision  Thought changes after processing  Invisible  Spiritual product  Identified with existing environment  Transfer through learning

Dimensions of Knowledge  We communicate information to one another in explicit forms.  We can chose to turn that information into knowledge (learning process) in our heads (tacit knowledge)  . When we make our internal tacit knowledge explicit in some form, it becomes information to others

Information and Knowledge Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it. ” Peter Drucker 15

TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE Knowledge can be broadly classified into two types: Explicit knowledge Tacit knowledge 16

Benefits of KM  Increase knowledge and skills of individuals.  When team members are constantly learning and sharing knowledge with each other, the team capability is enhanced.  Improves organizational capability: ◦ Improving internal processes ◦ Developing core competencies ◦ Designing innovative strategies  Increases Productivity and improves Quality of tasks and services.  Accelerates Innovation 24

KM Myths  KM is a fad  KM is a new technology  ( codifying ) knowledge  KM is a new HR initiative  KM is extra work  KM is only for knowledge workers 25

KM Challenges  Behavioral and mindset change of staff.  Creating a collaborative culture.  Accelerating innovation through knowledge creation.  Improving Service Quality and Service Mindset.  Overcoming bureaucracy.  Information overload. 26

APO KM Framework APO Workshop on Implementing KM 27

Outline Session 1. Concepts and Principles Session 2. APO KM Framework Session 3. KM Implementation Approach

APO KM Framework – Background  Commenced in September 2007  Representation from China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam  Developed a framework that is applicable to all APO member countries  Considerations  Easily understood by APO member countries  Can be applied in any country and industry 29

APO KM Framework – Purpose  To emphasize the importance of KM for organizational success  To provide an easy-to-understand introduction to KM  To highlight critical factors for the successful implementation of KM  To assist organizations in APO member countries in leveraging KM for their benefit 30

APO KM Framework OUTCOMES Societal Capacity KNOWLEDGE PROCESS ACCELERATORS Organizational Processes People Capability Capability Individual Leadership Technology Store Team Capability 31

APO KM Framework  Starting point of the KM framework is the Vision and Mission of the organization  KM meets the business objectives of the organization  There are three levels in the framework: • Accelerators • Knowledge Process • Outcomes 32

Accelerators Accelerators help to propel and speed up the KM  initiative in the organization Four accelerators can be identified:  • Leadership • Technology ACCELERATORS Processes People • People • Processes Leadership Technology 33

Accelerators – Leadership Drives the KM initiative in the organization  Ensures alignment of KM strategies and projects  with the mission and vision of the organization Provides support and resources for the  implementation of KM projects 34

Accelerators – T echnology Accelerates the knowledge process through  effective tools and techniques Tools such as groupware and collaborative  workspaces enable participation across time and distance Provides a platform for retention of  organizational knowledge 35

Accelerators – People People are users as well as generators of  knowledge They create and possess intellectual capital  Trust is a prerequisite for knowledge sharing  36

Accelerators – Processes Social and technological steps that enhance  the contribution of knowledge in the organization Systematic and effective processes can  contribute to improving organizational productivity, profitability, quality, and growth 37

Knowledge Process Refers to knowledge development and conversion  processes Five steps in the knowledge process:  • Identify • Create • Store • Share • Apply 38

Knowledge Process Step – Identify Initial crucial step of the knowledge process  Critical knowledge needed to build the core  competencies of the organization is identified The knowledge gaps in the organization are  identified in this step 39

Knowledge Process Step – Create Addresses knowledge gaps through knowledge  conversion and generation of new knowledge Many ways to create new knowledge:  • Individual level • Team level • Organizational level 40

Knowledge Process Step – Store Collection and preservation of organizational  knowledge Various forms of storage  Organized for easy retrieval  41
