I recently conducted a study of eleven non-profits to find out how knowledge management (KM) was being implemented in developing countries. In this article I have 1) outlined the findings from that study, and 2) developed a knowledge management strategy based on the findings. Non-Profits working in Developing Countries Have Come Late to Knowledge Management. In many industry sectors knowledge management has been in place for 15 to 20 years.

Through this reflection I've discovered that what I love doing is creating the design that make knowledge creation and sharing possible! I have long held a conviction that the best way to understand knowledge management is to actually experience it, not listen to a presentation about it, or even read about it - but to experience it. University Research Corporation (URC) had a contract with USAID to support Health Care Improvement (HCI) and to spread that knowledge worldwide.

We’ve all heard the cliché “knowledge is power,” but what use is knowledge in the workplace if it is trapped inside your employees’ heads? There is no shortage of information on the subject of knowledge management (KM), but the topic is hot with good reason. Consider how many times your organization has lost valuable expertise and knowledge when an employee left? How we collect and manage their knowledge is critical. Types of knowledge.

In the earlier blog post I called the third era, “collective knowledge” and I remain convinced that collective knowledge is at the heart of this change. It is the "means," but what is being managed are ideas.

A knowledge management system helps people in an organization share, access, and update business knowledge and information. And while that’s all great in theory, in practice, knowledge management is imperfect. At most companies, effective knowledge management requires a significant amount of time, attention, and energy.

At one point GM had 138 best practice teams and 33 centers of expertise working with identified subject matter experts. In 2008 KM was alive and well at GM. GM was brought down by a flawed strategy, but an organization’s strategy is clearly a product of the knowledge that exists within its walls. The knowledge existed within GM to develop a more competitive strategy. My work has primarily been about creating more effective knowledge sharing processes and communities.

Half of our modern economy is built on knowledge workers and knowledge-based work. But “knowledge management” as a concept carries a lot of baggage. When people in companies bother to think of it at all, it brings to mind menial, thankless tasks like updating the company wiki. Effective knowledge sharing within a company–which involves a lot more than just maintaining an internal wiki– directly impacts productivity and revenue.

Like many organizations, the US Army holds a Knowledge Management Conference each year. The speaker format is also typical - three or four speakers in a row with a few minutes of Q & A at the end of each speaker’s time and then on to the next speaker. I’ve had the honor of speaking at all of the Army KM conferences since they began in 2005, including the one just recently held. What I got back was an overwhelmingly positive response, surprising even the folks at SKS.

It’s a term that those of us that are involved in knowledge and learning could make great use of – no need for neurologist to have all the fun! It jumps the gap by producing a neurotransmitter that the next neuron picks up (neurologists say the neurotransmitter excites the next neuron) and off the information goes down the next neuron (and the next) until it gets to some important destination where the message tells your little finger to wiggle or you arrive at a brilliant new insight.
