There are a wide range of \norganisations that have a strong desire to capture and share knowledge, \nbut very few that are able to demonstrably deliver a positive impact on \nfuture organisational performance. Most organisations try they have \nlessons learned systems, project reviews, lunchtime briefings, \nnewsletters and a plethora of other systems. But the constraint is not \nthe systems that push the knowledge, its the culture and appetite of \nindividuals to pull the knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Author: Martin Paver Director at i3Works<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Everyone is busy, have objectives to satisfy and don\u2019t always have \nthe bandwidth on top of a day job to consume corporate knowledge. There \nare noticeable exceptions such as those new to the organisation, those \nacquiring new professional qualifications or those with a strong desire \nfor learning, but for the majority, it needs to fit in around the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wiki, youtube, Khan Academy and a range of other technology solutions\n have revolutionised the way we learn, providing a significantly \nincreased capability to tailor the knowledge to the individual\u2019s role, \nprofessional and personal objectives. Enabling the individual to consume\n knowledge in this way can provide a significant change in \norganisational learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this is only part of the solution. It\u2019s important to have a \nblend of knowledge management capability by integrating online systems, \nevents, communities of interest, lessons identified and gate reviews. \nThis can be enhanced further by integrating this with computer based \ntraining to package the knowledge to align with the specific demands of a\n department or a project and most importantly the end user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the above becomes mechanistic and process focused unless there\n is a culture for learning, for sharing knowledge and incentivising \npersonal development. It takes vision, passion and time, capitalising on\n the rich seam of knowledge that exists within the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a journey rather than a short term fix, but by integrating big \ndata analytics, on line tailoring of knowledge, communities of practice \nand establishing the right culture, there is a clear opportunity to \ntransform how we manage knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we project this forward to the point whereby suppliers work to \ntheir collective interest there is an opportunity to share knowledge to \ndeliver a step change in sector productivity for mutual advantage. This \nis when knowledge management gets really interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a wide range of organisations that have a strong desire to capture and share knowledge, but very few that are able to demonstrably deliver a positive impact on future organisational performance.
