From Siloes to Synergy: Our KM Transformation Story

How does a knowledge management program move from scattered information and disconnected teams to a culture where sharing and collaboration come naturally? This session tells the story of one organization’s KM evolution, shaped by lessons learned, unexpected challenges, and a deepening understanding of what KM truly means for its people and processes.

The journey began with culture, not technology. By focusing on trust, storytelling, and shared purpose, the team built momentum and engagement that made KM stick. Early efforts centered on celebrating small wins, aligning around common goals, and embedding KM into everyday habits. As adoption grew, the organization introduced governance, processes, and metrics to ensure consistency, accountability, and long-term scalability.

Through candid stories, case studies, and reflection activities, participants will explore each phase of this journey—from early culture building to structured maturity guided by APQC’s KM-CAT model. 

You’ll gain practical insights on how to:

• Foster a people-first KM culture by prioritizing trust, engagement, and shared ownership before tools or metrics.
• Evaluate your KM maturity through guided discussion and peer insights, identifying strengths and growth opportunities with confidence.
• Strengthen KM practices by adding structure—processes, tools, templates, and governance—while maintaining agility and storytelling-driven alignment.

This session offers a real-world look at how a culture-first approach can create lasting KM impact and prepare teams to grow from enthusiasm to excellence.
