Transferring Critical Knowledge (Learning Lab)
Course Description
This Learning Lab furthers the understanding of the learning outcomes from the Transferring Critical Knowledge Instructor Led course through hands-on applications.
Capturing critical knowledge and making it available when and where it’s needed is at the core of the Knowledge Management (KM) value proposition. But before an organization can connect employees to key knowledge assets, it must identify those assets. This course will give participants the tools to understand what knowledge is truly critical to their organizations and determine the most urgent priorities for capture and transfer. It will include an overview of established best practices and examples from leading organizations. Participants will simulate an organization where employees struggle to find, transfer, and apply knowledge. A lack of expertise location tools, limited expert capacity, and poor coordination of common knowledge capture and transfer approaches will prove challenging as you attempt to execute routine tasks. Through the introduction of focused knowledge improvement sessions, participants will learn how to identify critical knowledge, reveal gaps, and better coordinate and align KM practices to enable a more continuous flow of critical content and expertise.
