Knowledge Management

Another issues officers have had in the past is not inputting all information that is needed for a report. In order to fix this simple issue there has been new software that downloads templates for the officer. Therefore all they need to do is apply the information for each box. The boxes include things such as: the type of call, time of day, date, name, location, brief description, etc.. These type of templates help an officer stay organize and make sure nothing is being

Knowledge management functions in the human resources community are very active and very broad. Human resource operators use some form of knowledge management in almost everything that they do. There is also what many perceive as an overabundance of information. Based on this overabundance and the many different tools available, the way that human resource operators perform their duties varies quite a bit. The systems and processes that human resource operators use across the three components also vary widely. I will focus on the knowledge management tools, systems, and resources that are currently being used by human resource professionals in the New York Army National Guard. I surveyed human resource professionals at the battalion, brigade,

Knowledge Management (KM) purpose is to share information amongst a community. To effectively share that information, people or cultures need to be committed to KM processes using state-of-the art technology. The Army has given guidance to commanders in the form of twelve KM principles, intended to facilitate KM efforts and policies. After reviewing the twelve KM principles, I have chosen four to elaborate on my understanding of the principle and why I believe the Army as a whole has shortcomings in achieving the intent of each principle. Lack of leadership commitment, vision and resource investment has undermined the proper implementation and execution of the Army KM principles, affecting the Army’s ability to effectively and efficiently share valuable information.

In 2007, the worldwide volume announced that mergers and acquisitions (M&As) had reached more than $4.74 trillion according to The Wall Street Journal. Despite their persistent acceptance, M&As remain highly debatable (Muehlfeld, Rao & Van Witteloostuijn, 2012). The constant debate about post acquisition performance repercussions of M&As (Rooney, Mandeville, Kastelle, 2013) points to important questions as to whether and under what conditions organizations learn from past acquisition experience. However, outside of operational backdrops, the effects of experience on learning as well as their outcomes have proved more intangible. Multifaceted environments as observed in typical corporate level executive and strategic activities prevent reinforced learning and diminish the identification between current actions and observed outcomes (Finkelstein S, Haleblian, 2002). Thus, it can take years to witness effective wisdom obtained regarding mergers between large organizations (Muehlfeld, Rao & Van Witteloostuijn, 2012).

We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: If you 've got ambition and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren 't managing their employees 'careers; knowledge workers must, effectively, be their own chief executive officers. It 's up to you to carve out your place, to know when to change course, and to keep yourself engaged and productive during a work life that may span some 50 years.To do those things well, you 'll need to cultivate a deep understanding of yourself- notonly what your strengths and weaknesses are but also how you learn, how you work with others, what

"Knowledge management is the set of practices aimed at discovering and harnessing an organization 's intellectual resources. It 's about finding, unlocking, sharing, and altogether capitalizing on the most precious resources of an organization: people 's expertise, skills, wisdom, and relationships. Knowledge managers find these human assets, help people collaborate and learn, help people generate new ideas, and harness those ideas into successful innovations" (Bateman, 2004, p.8-9). One of the most important factors of change in management is the growing need for good, new ideas. Knowledge management is an approach that allows people to produce change. It 's bringing people together and collecting ideas from

Knowledge management is a concept that is widely known in many organizations but despite the concept being around for more than two decades, a universally accepted meaning of the term is yet to be outlined. Knowledge management is a concept that is concerned with the aspect of learning something before putting it into action. The concept is also involved with creating a platform which will allow exploration of new types of knowledge. The created knowledge may then be incepted in the minds of the employees to add value to the products or services they deliver. What is important to note is that as far as KM is concerned, it does not go beyond storing and manipulating data or information. Knowledge transfer to decision makers will need the development of a structured approach to ensure that it is available on demand. When considering the department of labor, you would appreciate the need for implementation of this strategy. Many departments hoard information thus making it tough to access

Knowledge Management (KM) is described as a systematic process of sharing, reusing and managing the knowledge only when it is made available and recorded (Jashapara, 2005). This helps an organization to gain insight and understanding for own experience (Remus, 2012). Most of the KM activities

Knowledge management is critical to organizations. According to Gregory R. Wenig, knowledge management is consists of activities from its own experience and from the experience of others, and on the judicious application of that knowledge to fulfill the mission of the organization. In my point of view, I think that knowledge management is performed by organization to appropriately handle, distribute, and transfer assets of knowledge, experience, and ideas from individual

The term knowledge management has become common in businesses throughout the world. Despite its increased prevalence, there remains a large degree of confusion concerning the applied definition of what knowledge management is. Within the knowledge management community, attempts at defining this elusive term appear to be in constant flux. However, a basic description of what constitutes

The new "buzz word" in many corporate circles currently is the term "Knowledge Management or K.M." KM is considered mostly a role for the Information Technologist because of its storage of the company's information on databases. Because of the "info-glut" that is occurring in many corporations, K.M. is strongly becoming the role for the Instructional Technologist to group that information into training modules for the corporate Intranet, so that the corporation's employees can retrieve the "knowledge" in a real-time, need-to-know basis. In this white paper, I will define Knowledge Management from a business and an educational perspective. I will also discuss two basic strategies

Knowledge management is defined as the productive handling of information and resources within a firm for best decision-making process (Jashapara 2010). The main objective of knowledge management within an organisation is to enhance performance by empowering personnel to obtain, share and employ their collective information in order for them to make the right decisions when required (Sokhanvar, et al., 2014). Knowledge management entails more than technologies used for tracking or sharing information, it is also about creation of practice, developing trusted content and forming networks within and outside the organisation. In order to understand about an organisation’s knowledge management practice, one needs to understand the organisational structure in which it is found. Some organisation’s culture dictate the manner in which people interact and collaborate as regards to information is handled for the success of the organisation. Such organisations indoctrinate their employees on the value of knowledge and the significance of collaborating with each other. In addition, such organisations have support structures that facilitate this process such as mentorship programs. On the contrary, that do not act on their resources and information because they do not have mechanisms that support networking, collaboration and sharing of information. This consequently leads to a situation of negligence by the employees and to the detriment of the organisation. The paper

In order for public and private organizations to exploit and manage knowledge in their daily processes and integrate knowledge management in their strategic planning, the managers of the organizations must know the actual meaning of knowledge. Right now, the three-knowledge management models being used in organizations are Nonaka and Takeuci’s (knowledge spiral), Firestone and McElroy’s (knowledge life cycle) snowden’s (Cynefin Model) (Heaidari, Khanifar & Moghimi, 2011).
