What is KM? Knowledge Management Explained

What is KM? Knowledge Management Explained
Knowledge Management, (KM) is a concept and a term that arose approximately two decades ago, roughly in 1990. Quite simply one might say that it means organizing an organization's information and knowledge holistically, but that sounds a bit wooly, and surprisingly enough, even though it sounds overbroad, it is not the whole picture. Very early on in the KM movement, Davenport (1994) offered the still widely quoted definition: "Knowledge management is the process of capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge." This definition has the virtue of being simple, stark, and to the point. A few years later, the Gartner Group created another second definition of KM, which is perhaps the most frequently cited one (Duhon, 1998): "Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. Both definitions share a very organizational, a very corporate orientation. Related:  ☢️ Knowledge Management

The Speed of Knowledge | KnowledgeVision In talking with a business executive the other day, the topic of the best way to communicate with employees came up. This particular business has locations around the US and in Canada, the UK and Australia. One of their real challenges has been communicating their evolving strategy in a consistent way – getting everyone reading from the same playbook. For most large companies, getting an idea out fast often means sacrificing quality of delivery or impact. You can send a PowerPoint deck with a script, but then you hope someone reads it. You can send video files or a link to something streaming, but sent files clog up your email server, and good quality video takes a while to produce – not the timeliest approach. So we spent some time talking with him about trying out the KnowledgeVision platform to create a compelling message to worldwide staff. Voltaire once wrote, “The perfect is the enemy of the good,” reminding us that speed is a powerful market force.

KL-ONE There is a whole family of KL-ONE-like systems. In KL-ONE descriptions are separated into two basic classes of concepts: primitive and defined. Primitives are domain concepts that are not fully defined. This means that given all the properties of a concept, this is not sufficient to classify it. They may also be viewed as incomplete definitions. The slot-concept is called roles and the values of the roles are role-fillers.

What to Pay That Business Planning Consultant, Part 2 - Planning, Startups, Stories In my post here yesterday I started to answer “what should I pay a consultant to develop a business plan for my company?” My first take was about the need for planning process and living with your plan over the long term. The key thought there was: So my first answer to this question is this: don’t pay a consultant to develop a business plan. Do it yourself. Still, if you’re busy, and you believe in division of labor, and you don’t want to do the plan yourself, this doesn’t really answer the question. 1. Let’s assume for a moment that you want exactly what I say is the wrong thing: somebody to write a 10-20-page document you can call your business plan. For that, find a good freelance business plan writer and good luck. I just checked average freelancer rates on freelanceswitch. And if you want spreadsheet knowledge double the price, and if you want financial knowledge and understanding, triple it. Get very specific with the consultant: what services are you buying? 2. 3.

Decision support system Information systems supporting business or organizational decision-making activities A decision support system (DSS) is an information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help people make decisions about problems that may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance—i.e., unstructured and semi-structured decision problems. While academics have perceived DSS as a tool to support decision making processes, DSS users see DSS as a tool to facilitate organizational processes.[1] Some authors have extended the definition of DSS to include any system that might support decision making and some DSS include a decision-making software component; Sprague (1980)[2] defines a properly termed DSS as follows: DSSs include knowledge-based systems. Typical information that a decision support application might gather and present includes:
