    Hopefully this new administration will embrace KM. I am tired of seeking events that could have been avoided and causing a lot of pain. We need leadership and a KM culture to guide us out of the multitude of messes we have gotten into. KM is not sexy because it helps to avoid bad decisions. It’s the ego hounds that ride to rescue after the milk is spilled. We need to change that culture and reward those that help avoid problems.

    Completely agree. The role of the contractor is a complicating element that brings enormous consequence - good add!

    Juan, love the slides. I think there’s a constituency that greatly affects KM efforts missing from slide 13, which is the in-house or contractor developer. They have a whole slew of agendas that have an effect on the outcome of KM initiatives, sadly, usually for the negative.

What I Did - Presentation Transcript

    • Hi. Thanks for reading. After 8 years with SRA, I’m moving on and searching for new opportunities.
    • I thought I’d share a little about what I did there as I learned about the damnable field of Knowledge Management
    Expect randomness Along with many, I believe knowledge is both a object (content) and a flow (context) If we’re right, the implications for KM are substantial
  1. In retrospect, I really should have seen the layoff coming
  2. SOME OF WHAT I SAID.
    • Information Management
    • Involves data and documents, their content, and information systems.
    • Knowledge Management
    • Involves what people know, how they learn and apply it, organizational culture and relationships.
    IM vs. KM Map vs. Taxi driver Recipe vs. Chef Book vs. Author Portal vs. Meeting Why do you care who prepares your sushi?

  4. Define KM? Tag cloud based on 43 definitions for Knowledge Management
  5. Knowledge Management refers to the management of the components and enabling of relationships from which knowledge emerges: used to enhance decision making, spark innovation, and comprehend weak signals in the information environment. 
  6. “ Very few people understand the need (requirement) for KM. They do understand barriers, non-sharing, poor training, awful deployments with no attention to human factors, atrocious documentation, and the lack of information while drowning in data.” – CKO of a U.S. government agency
  7. Related Question – Where to Give Attention? Volume Time Data, Information, Knowledge Information Processing Technology Access Network Bandwidth Attention Davenport, T. H. and J. C. Beck (2001). The Attention Economy: Understanding the New Currency of Business. Cambridge, MA, Harvard Business School Press.
      • Some Things I’ve Heard
        • “ In order to find out what's going on back at HQ, we fly lieutenants back there twice a month.”
        • “ When the general asks me what the effect of a reconfiguration of communication satellites is on our networks - it shouldn't take me 3 days to get the answer.”
        • “ When I come in and hear that 2 nodes among my communication networks are down - can I get coffee? Is it 2 out of 12, or 2 out of 3? I don't know.”
        • “ We have a document management system in place, but can't find anything. Don't tell anyone, but we set up a private share drive where we store our working docs...”
  8. Problem Abundance
      • Katrina revealed lack of interagency shared situational awareness, therefore inability to effectively respond
    (Most) Agencies lack a focused architectural initiative focused on information sharing and management
