Focus on one component of Knowledge Management – Knowledge Exchange Short, efficient, with minimal impact on employees Short survey Use branching logic to ask relevant questions Strategic random sampling Sampling across people and time Survey only KX users Sample without replacement (no one is sampled twice) Report Key Metrics at each level Process should be generalizable to other KM initiatives (e.g. CoPs, other KM tools or systems) Credible process and metrics Conservative assumptions for ROI Fully-loaded costs of the KM solution Non-respondents assumed to have zero business impact Error of estimate considered for time savings estimates Scalable Minimize manual processes Continuous measurement model Provide standardized reporting for enterprise, and by group Provide time series and summary reports of impact and ROI Include qualitative data and follow-up strategy
Methodology has potential for follow-up – Quality/Sales – Follow-up strategy
