The Essence of Knowledge Management
The central theme of Knowledge Management is to leverage and reuse knowledge resources that already exist in the organization so that people will seek out best practices rather than reinvent the wheel.
The central theme of Knowledge Management is to leverage and reuse knowledge resources that already exist in the organization so that people will seek out best practices rather than reinvent the wheel.
Why Knowledge Management?
What does leveraging "collective knowledge" involve? Working in collaborative teams, capturing and sharing knowledge
and delivering business excellence.
Developing and sharing "best practices."
Faster replication of innovations through faster movement of knowledge through the organization.
Acquisition and sharing of "new knowledge."
Creating an environment that is comfortable to the idea of openness, knowledge sharing, risk of failure as well as rewards for success.
Managing organizational learning.
Knowledge Management Process
Benefits of Knowledge to Enterprise
Unleash new Ideas and Creativity.
Improve and accelerate Learning.
Enhance Team Collaboration & Coordination.
Improve the Flow of knowledge.
Attract, and retain motivated, loyal, and committed talent.
Knowledge Management InitiativesHUL's Packaging Network Opportunities / Challenges: Packaging in our company is very
important, both for providing protection to the product in transit and storage as well as its contribution to pack presentation / brand image.
How do we make sure that the collective knowledge of the packaging professionals in the company is fully leveraged by the packaging professionals in each business, to add value to his business, through problem solving as well as innovations to reduce cost and or improve functionality?
HUL’s response: Formed a knowledge community. The team meets once in two months for structured knowledge
sharing and monitoring progress of implementation of the charter.
The basic approach and methodology adopted by the team: Develop clarity on business expectations Appointed sub-teams to specialize / lead in each of the
knowledge blocks. “Knowledge workshops" with the core team and the extended
team to generate new ideas and opportunities. Intranet application with collaborative working tools, to facilitate
knowledge sharing on a continuous basis, in between the face to face meetings.
Results achieved: The Packaging community has been consistently delivering as
per their charter. To strengthening knowledge sharing behaviour through
facilitation, training and leadership.
The barriers for implementing Knowledge Management?
Conceptual / mindset related issues: We should move from “hoarding of knowledge to gain power" to "sharing of knowledge to gain power."
Operational issues: KM should not be seen as a separate initiative, but should be integrated into current workflow as a more effective way to achieve business results.
The role of HR in institutionalizing KM in an organization
Focus on strengthening collaborative team effort to leverage collective knowledge of the enterprise.
Corporate Education. Performance Management and nurturing (sharing, doing
and caring) culture. Talent management. Recruitment, training, skill and competency development. New HRM roles are those of human capital steward,
knowledge facilitator, relationship builder, and rapid deployment specialist.
Human capital steward Creates an environment and culture in which
employees voluntarily contribute skills, ideas, and energy
Human capital is not “owned” by organization Knowledge facilitator
Procures necessary employee knowledge and skill sets that allow information to be acquired, developed, and disseminated
Provides a competitive advantage Must be part of strategically designed employee
development plan
New HRM Roles
Relationship builder Develops structure, work practices, and culture that
allow individuals to work together Develops networks that focus on strategic objectives
Rapid deployment specialist Creates fluid and adaptable structure and systems Global, knowledge-based economy mandates flexibility
and culture that embraces change
How then do HR processes and practices impact the knowledge sharing in a firm?
Job rotations
Networked organization
Training
Knowledge communities (Teams)
E- Learning
Culture change
How do we create a knowledge sharing culture?
Realign incentive and reward program: “The best KM practitioners reward employees for learning, sharing
and collaborating.
Step HR could implement are: Institute Team awards Xerox: “Eureka Hall of Fame" Hewlett Packard Consulting: in their "vision" statement: "Our consultants feel and act as if they have the knowledge of the
entire organization at their fingertips when they consult with customers. We will recognize those consultants that share and those that leverage other's knowledge and experience as most valuable members of the HP team."
HR should be the catalyst for culture change
HR will also be a key facilitator in implementing a companywide communication of value behaviours.
Team excellence workshops and process improvement (speed, simplicity and excellence) workouts are among the key initiatives that will soon be launched by HR to support the culture change.
These culture change initiatives will strongly support our
efforts to become a stronger knowledge driven company, committed to business excellence.
Develop "Knowledge Pull“.
Some of the steps that HR could take for cultural change :
Performance Development Planning (PDP); 1.Learning from experience 2.Team commitment 3.Developing others
Develop a mechanism to communicate effectively.
Collaborative effort and knowledge.
Make KM part of the Company training modules.
Hold visible knowledge sharing events.
Conclusion:
Transformation into knowledge driven organization HR has a key role to play in nurturing and strengthening
knowledge management through "learning initiatives" and "culture change initiatives.“
HR is best placed to play the role of an effective facilitator, and give positive reinforcements for Knowledge Management .
Knowledge management has already been embraced as a source of solutions to the problems of today’s business.
