Talk Synopsis

How can a mature organisation with its own cultural legacy change from a norm of knowledge hoarding to one of knowledge sharing? This talk will focus on lessons learnt as a knowledge worker in a major Hong Kong corporation, including some of the pains and some of the gains.

Danal will discuss how change management techniques combined with solid information architecture have been employed to aid Hong Kong’s multi-project railway expansion programme, achieving organisational change to enable improvements and innovations through knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Making KM Work – a framework for designing & managing knowledge organizations

Commentary, Meetings 1 Response »

Jan 262013

Looking at the practical experience of organizations pursuing Knowledge Management (KM), it is found that their efforts are primarily focused on creating the conditions and the context that will enable knowledge creation & innovation. This seminar proposes an integrated-view of KM – the “SETR Framework” – with special focus on the domains of knowledge creation, innovation and enabling contexts.

The SETR Framework reconciles multifaceted KM initiatives in a set of four interconnected arenas, i.e.:

Strategy
Execution
Tools and
Results.

Examples will be drawn from the speaker’s extensive research on KM and innovation in world-class organizations based in Brazil along the past decade.
