Knowledge as a person’s thought ……….
water in a deep well, but someone with insight can draw them out”
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
and growth.
Asian Productivity Organization’s definition
Knowledge Management Connects
People with People People with Information
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
what to do with it.”

Peter Drucker
TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge can be broadly classified into two types:

APO KM Framework
APO KM Framework
Starting point of the KM framework is the Vision
and Mission of the organization
KM meets the business objectives of the
There are three levels in the framework:
32
Accelerators
Accelerators help to propel and speed up the KM initiative in the organization
Four accelerators can be identified:
33 ACCELERATORS
People Processes Leadership Technology
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
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
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:
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:
40
Knowledge Process Step – Store
Collection and preservation of organizational knowledge
Various forms of storage
Organized for easy retrieval
41
Knowledge Process Step – Share
Regular and sustained exchange of knowledge
Fosters continuous learning to achieve business goals
Mutual trust and benefit help foster a culture of sharing
Technology can be used to enhance sharing
42
Knowledge Process Step – Apply
The use and reuse of knowledge in the
Translates knowledge into action
Knowledge only adds value when it is used to improve products and services
43
KM Measurements
Organizational level : No. of Best Practices
(resulted from modification of existing knowledge) giving improved results
Department level: Percentage of employees
meeting targets on learning hours (Employees’ participation on KM activities)
Individual level: no. of learning hours, no. of
stories told, no. of work instructions written, no. of teaching and coaching hours.

“Most activities or tasks are not
simple: Every time we do something again, we should do it better than the last time.”
Sir John Browne CEO, BP
“Anyone in the organisation who is not directly accountable for making a profit should be involved in creating and distributing knowledge that the company can use to make a profit.”

Learning & Innovation
Knowledge process enables learning and innovation at all levels and areas in the organization
New products, services, processes, markets, technologies, and business models
