It was not till the late 1990’s that Chief Executive Officers began discussing Knowledge Management. Since Knowledge Management as a practice is relatively young, many executives have struggled with successful models that could be used as guides. In this course, you will gain an understanding of several key issues that knowledge workers deal with. We will also review current trends in Knowledge Management including but not limited to:
Organizational focus and investments in knowledge management.
A company’s knowledge strategy and how it reflects the competitive strategy.
The role and impact of automation on knowledge workers.
This course uses readings, case studies, personal projects and discussion to expose students to the field of Knowledge Management. The course introduces you to the historical roots, theories, beliefs and frameworks in the field of Knowledge Management. You will also learn to determine the infrastructure requirements to manage intellectual capital. Additionally, you will learn about the role and skill set of today’s knowledge professionals.
It would be very challenging to understand where an organization needs improvement without establishing a baseline. You learn the purpose of a knowledge assessment and evaluation through knowledge audit, mapping, and other various techniques. This includes the steps involved with identifying, evaluation and rating critical knowledge assets, process, and the various audit methods available, and how to audit and analyze a company’s existing knowledge. You will understand and practically apply the formulation and planning, human, structural and relational capital mapping.
You will build upon the foundation of Knowledge Management to apply knowledge principles and peer perspectives to current state as we begin developing knowledge strategy. You will then conduct a complete knowledge audit aimed at assessing the knowledge needs of your department /organization / institution. You will further understand the infrastructure requirements to manage the human, structural and relational capital at an organization/institution. Your assessment should follow a holistic approach and apply the principles of Knowledge Management as they relate to enterprise wide information and knowledge services.
