Enhancing Project
Results Using KM
Practices
North Carolina Project
Management Institute
While not “reinventing
the wheel” is nothing
new to good project
management, there are
many different
techniques for
accomplishing this. In
recent years these types
of techniques or
practices have been
refined and are often
associated with the
collaborative knowledge
sharing aspects of
Knowledge Management.
This presentation focuses on
upwards to a dozen KM
practices that can have a
positive impact on a
project’s results. The list
includes: Peer Assists,
Lessons Learned, Network
Analysis, Off/On Boarding,
Project Time CapsulesSM,
Decision & Meeting
Facilitation and Capture,
After Action Learning,
Project Team Collaboration,
Knowledge Transfer
Frameworks, and Communities
of Practice. The discussion
covers the basics of each
practice and how/where it
can be used in a project
with relevant applicable
examples.
Leveraging the Value of
Organizational Networks
Triangle Organizational
Development Network
Businesses are starting
to recognize that much
of what gets
accomplished is done via
networks. Many
individuals too, whether
employees or solo
practitioners, are
realizing that the age
old adage is true- “it’s
not what you know, but
who you know” that is
most important.
Network Analysis can be a
powerful diagnostic for
reviewing how an
organizational network is
structured and operating.
Evaluating the analysis
output in light of current
issues or objectives can
lead to the pinpointing of
recommendations for
improving a network’s
effectiveness. These most
often address factors in
areas such as formal
organizational structure,
work management practices,
HR policies, and
Leadership.
This presentation first
offers a discussion about
networks and their
importance in getting work
done. Then it moves on to
provide definitions and the
basic components of ONA,
including a number of
examples. The final segment
focuses on describing the
types of interventions that
might be appropriate after
evaluating the results of an
ONA.
Collaboration: It
doesn't just happen
ICKM Conference
This presentation starts
by defining
collaboration and
suggests why it is so
much more important
today than ever before,
especially in light of
the fact that almost all
teams now encounter some
element of being
virtual, if not global
also. After describing a
number of obstacles that
can and do get in the
way of effective
collaboration while
alluding to why many of
these exist, it then
moves on to cover how an
organization should
proceed including an
implementation approach
and components that must
necessarily be
addressed. It lists some
of the principles,
assumptions, and
elements necessary for
developing a
collaboration strategy
so the reader can see
groundwork that must
take place well before
proceeding. The
presentation concludes
with a case study of a
successful
implementation of a
collaborative
environment.
Communities for Many Purposes: CoPs, the key to growing, maintaining and leveraging knowledge for business advantage.
QuintEssential Conference
This presentation
describes what a
Community of Practice is
and why they are fast
becoming the solution to
an organization’s knowledge creation, preservation, and sharing issues. Types of Cop’s are reviewed and examples of a number of communities and the lessons learned from them are provided. Finally, keys to getting a CoP started are discussed.
Enabling Effective Collaboration on R&D Project Teams
KM World Conference
A mid-size pharmaceutical organization decided that a team approach to R&D would be a key to their continued success. They formed a strategic team-development group to support the teams with both team-development and knowledge-management initiatives.
The focus of this presentation is on the implementation of team collaboration workspaces, but it also touches on team-development activities and other KM components such as Lessons Learned that have been initiated to enable the R&D teams. Specific items that are addressed include: business objectives, implementation approach, overcoming initial resistance, workspace design practices, and lessons learned.
KM: What is it? Why Is It Important? How Do You Get Started?
AITP Regional Meeting
Knowledge Management (KM) has certainly had a lot of publicity and many vendors claiming their products are a KM “system” since the term was coined in the mid-90’s.
This presentation digs below the hype and claims by first providing some definitions, examples, and models that offer a frame of reference for what KM broadly is. Then after briefly reviewing some observations and statistics that allude to the importance of KM to business, the majority of the presentation is devoted to the elements necessary for getting a KM initiative started. This includes fundamentals that must be paid attention, strategy elements so the pieces fit and are supported, and lessons learned from previous initiatives. The last section focuses on case studies directed toward the attendees’ areas of interest.
