Hi Stephen,

Excellent model. 

At the KM Institute we recommend one additional step, which I think you implicitly consider, but we like to make it more explicit.

It is about the solution/action/intervention itself. To simplify, it is typically an exploit or explore scenario..

To exploit a well documented approach is relatively low risk, higher likelihood of success.

To explore, means there is no proven solution. In fact, there may not even be a better approach. To explore is obviously a less likely, higher-risk situation.

Cheers,

Douglas Weidner

Hi Karim,

While it's certainly fair to say that not all KM requires technology solutions, it is just as premature to discount technology as it is to mandate it.

The truth is that every organisation consists of a mix of people, processes, and technology. Technology externalises processes in a way that is robust, but this can often happen at the expense of resilience. Understanding the correct balance is the key.

If you're running an enterprise KM function, you need a way to prioritise work that has the biggest impact. One approach that I increasingly feel has legs is the idea of an RROI ranking of initiatives. I've attached slides of a recent talk about the idea..

(I reference IM because it was a "data management summit" but it's really a KM way of looking at the world.)

Happy to chat more about the concept if you like.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Karim –

 

I’ll comment to say that I believe that starting with the technology is the wrong end of the animal to start with.  The problem with KM in today’s environment is almost never technology.  It’s almost always attitudes and culture.  Certainly you can use technology to smooth out any barriers that are too hard to cross easily, but in truth the questions are more about what are the barriers that are preventing people from sharing their knowledge and consuming the knowledge that others have?  Once you understand the people dynamics you can come back to talk about the technologies that can help you shift those attitudes and beliefs.

Greetings,

I have been assigned by my Management to handle the digital transformation initiative for KM.
I have started with investigating all possible technologies that can used to automate knowledge discovery and support remote knowledge transfer activities in my organization.
I need your opinion about the following action items that I am working on right now to achieve my goal and meet my management expectations:

1- Deploy a cognitive engineering KM system(e.i. IHS Goldfire)
2- Adopt a remote assistance technology embedded with augmented reality(e.i. Microsoft Dynamics 365)
3- Upgrade to SharePoint 2019 Enterprise

What do you think about these actions and can I add more actions to it?

My organization is an environmental management entity within a huge Oil & Gas Company?

Looking forward,

Karim
