Executives’ View of KM
• It’s a cost centre, not a profit centre, so outsource it• It’s everyone’s job, so disintermediate it• We have the knowledge we need• We care about costs, risks, relationships, new high-margin
products, and don’t see how KM relates to any of these
![Page 4: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Front Line’s View of KM
• I can’t find the information I need, even on my computer• I’d rather talk with someone than look something up, if I only
knew which person• I need an answer now; it doesn’t have to be perfect• Don’t give me a firehose of news and data; filter it and tell me
what it means and what I (and customers) should do about it

What KM 1.0 Was Supposed to Solve
“Let’s centralize this to reduce wasted conversations”
“Let’s put all the important stuff insidethe firewall on Intranets & groupware”
“Let’s put all the marketing stuff on our website”

The Verdict on KM 1.0(Davenport’s Study)
• Workers spend an average every day of 3 ¼ hours processing work-related information
• Half of that is e-mail (processing and sending 17 e-mails, receiving and processing 44 e-mails)
• A quarter of that is phone (making 15 calls, receiving 18 calls and 8 voice messages and participating in 1 teleconference)
• Much of the remainder is looking for information• Multiple, un-integrated tools, not effectively used, not well
supported• Most workers have poor search, poorer research skills• Work effectiveness tends to be proportional to time invested in,
and size of, networks• KM pilot experiments lack rigour

Trying Again: KM 2.0KM 1.0: all about content and
collectionKM 2.0: all about context and
connection
content management, search and delivery platform
large centralized just-in-case content repositories of 'submitted' 'reusable' documents with standardized taxonomy and search tools
personal content management tools - everyone manages their own content, just-in-time, harvestable
content publishing, browsing and information flow
large complicated centrally-managed intranets for 'publishing' and 'browsing' content; main information flows are top-down instruction (policies, directories), bottom-up submission
RSS-publishable and subscribable personal web pages, blogs and small-group-created wikis; main information flows are what matters to each person, peer-to-peer
communities communities of practice - centrally established and managed, content-focused
communities of passion - self-managed and ad hoc, conversation-focused
content format paradigm
"best practices' (stripped down) stories (detailed, context-rich); visualizations
public presence and
'marketing‘
public websites (boundaries established by firewall)
everything inside is open and shared outside unless it's illegal to do so (community of the whole world)

researchlicensed databases purchased
from outside info-professionals (disintermediation)
high-value, high-meaning RSS-subscribable content produced by internal info-professionals (reintermediation):
• awareness alerts (what's new?), • research (what does it mean?), • guidance (what should we do?)
connectivity enablers
e-mail • IM• virtual meeting tools (desktop
video, other simple ubiquitous real-time tools)
• organization and facilitation of real & virtual community-self-initiated self-managed events, including Open Space hosting & facilitation
• people-finding and community-creating tools
what's served up on the public website
what the company wants you to know: press releases, sales material
what the customer wants to know: multimedia interactive self-assessment tools

Discussion Questions
• Will KM 2.0 succeed where KM 1.0 failed?• Do we, the KM and IP people in our organizations, have what
it takes to be KM 2.0 leaders?
![Page 13: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Evolving Role of the IP• Personal Content Management: helping people find, organize,
publish, subscribe on their own desktop (and portable devices) (stories from E&Y and KPMG; the 3 top business blog apps)
• Identifying and enabling simple ad hoc self-managed P2P networks: communities of passion (a CICA story)
• Environmental scanning• Teaching, collecting, organizing, promoting stories (Snowden,
Denning etc.)• Just-in-time canvassing• Adding meaning and value to information (visualizations,
business-savvy research & analysis, strategy canvases)• Championing new, simple, real-time connectivity tools (two
MOH stories)• Risk management: The cost of not knowing• Dismantling the old infrastructure: Admission of failure

KM 2.0: The Cost of Not Knowing
![Page 19: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Group Discussion
• Will this new KM 2.0 role be valued (appreciated) in your organization?
• What will you need to learn to fulfill this role, and how/where will you obtain that learning? Can you do it P2P?
![Page 20: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Value Propositions for KM
• KM 1.0: Mostly Efficiency: cost savings, accelerated delivery, strengthened relationships, collaboration, innovation
• KM 2.0: Enabling trusted context-rich conversations, improved work effectiveness, awareness, insight, risk mitigation and adaptation
• Others to consider: improve decision-making, increase skills and capacities (learning VPs)
Why are we doing this? What is expected of us?
Group Discussion: What are the KM Value Propositions for your organization? Are they the right ones?
Personal Exercise: Identify the top 3 Value Propositions for your organization going forward.
![Page 21: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The KM Framework(and why it’s important)
• To guide KM activities and provide context for KM projects• To explain the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of KM (over & over, consistently)• To frame elevator pitches
Value Propositions:• Why are we doing this?• What is expected?
KM Services & Products:• Content acquisition & provision• Research, knowledge transfer• Architecture, tools, spaces• Support & Training• etc.
Design & Development Principles• What guides what we do and how we do it?
Outcomes:• How do we measure success?
Customers:• Who are we doing this for?

Group Discussion
Group Discussion: 1. What are the key KM Principles, Offerings, Customers, and
Success Measures for your organization? 2. Are they aligned, and consistent with your KM Value
Propositions?3. Taken together, do they provide a useful framework for
setting objectives and priorities, assessing projects, and explaining KM to others in the organization?
Personal Exercise: 1. Sketch out the KM Framework for your organization.2. Draft an ‘Elevator Speech’ for investing more in an existing
or proposed KM project for your organization, that can be delivered within 1 minute (160 words).
![Page 24: From Content and Collection to Context and Connection](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110301/54518f3caf79590d428b5513/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Getting Buy-In for the Framework
• Group Discussion: What difficulties have you experienced or do you foresee in ‘selling’ investment in KM (people, resources, technology, training etc.) to decision-makers (executives) and potential blockers (IT security people)? How might have these difficulties be (or have been) overcome?
• Personal Exercise: Working one-on-one with another participant, recite your Elevator Speech. Critique the Elevator Speech (constructively) of the other participant.

Innovation: What’s Next in KM
Caveat: Social Networking tools that haven’t caught on:• Blogs and wikis have not received wide use in business• LinkedIn and similar friend-of-a-friend tools suffer from data
quality problems• Facebook is a hard sell, and needle in a haystack• Social Network Mapping was fun, but in most organizations
hasn’t told users much they didn’t already know (and sometimes told them things that were untrue)
Google Desktop (and similar tools), IM and Desktop Video have caught on:
And here are 11 new and interesting things that might catch on…

Cultural Anthropology
• Observe and record behaviour of workers and/or customers, then ask questions
• Look for what doesn’t work, that they have found workarounds for• Look for what doesn’t work, that they no longer notice (or never did)• Help them use products, knowledge and technology more effectively• Report back systemic problems• Note and report problems with competitors’ products (when
observing customers)
