Dave’s workshop at KMWorld is always the most jam-packed, in the biggest room, and I am always sad to miss it, holding another workshop at a competing time – and a smaller room. 😊

Here is a book chapter a colleague and I wrote outlining our lessons learned from developing knowledge strategies for various IBM Consulting clients. Although this was done some time ago, the lessons learned are as relevant now as they were then - that's the nice thing about KM. It's more about behavior than tech if you're doing it correctly.

Short guide to developing a KM strategy:
  • Find the biggest / strongest organizational leader
  • Find his / her biggest challenge / problem
  • Clearly define the opportunity - who would benefit, what is the value, how would the value be measured
  • Then use jobs-to-be-done framework to figure out which people / groups, needs to apply what knowledge / info, which would drive the output - which would lead to solving that challenge / problem
  • Implement something minimally-viable within six months that at least directionally shows what can be done
  • Repeat
Hope that helps.

I love all these resources everyone is sharing. Gordon, what you outlined as a short guide is basically the life of a strategic product manager. It's my belief that KM leaders will find lots of value in learning product management because you're essentially running a business within a business. Know your investors, know your customers, know your market, solve "market" problems, test, measure, learn, market your solutions, grow, repeat.
