The way a company stores, organizes and accesses internal and external information. Refers to an entire integrated system for accumulation, integration, manipulation, and access of data across multiple organizations

Knowledge assets have often become more important to companies than financial and physical assets and are often the only way for a company to distinguish itself from its competitor & gain competitive advantage
Lost knowledge given the enormous of baby boomers that will be changing jobs or retiring in next few years cause productivity cost of an employee leaving 85% of their base salary due to their replacement’s mistakes, lost knowledge and lost skill( Beazley et al, 2002)
Relate to the concept of knowledge half-life, from which it is found that knowledge reaches obsolescence, on average, in 500 days, but can be much quicker in some areas- Lost knowledge obviously has a cost, estimated that $115 billion sits idle in lost knowledge affiliated with production technologies
- An astounding example of this is the loss of the original computer source code, written in the 1950’s, that spawned the Y2K software crisis, has cost businesses worldwide an estimated $1 trillion (Petch, 1998)

Why Implement KMS?
IBM, Oracle, Cisco– Measure intranet value at over $1 billion
BT, UK telecommunications company– Employee ideas have saved £100 million
Sodexho’s SuperSleuth– Cash reward for employees submitting
sales leads– Led to over $90 million in sales volume

Smaller companies, who often claim that they can’t afford to undertake KM activities, are wrong on two counts! 1.Knowledge is just as important, if not more so, to a smaller company trying to compete in the rapidly changing global marketplace. Smaller companies must capture, assimilate, and capitalize on every advantage they can find, including KNOWLEDGEKNOWLEDGE
2.Smaller firms have the advantages from Culture and Organizational structure in place that is much more conducive to implementing knowledge management effort such as type of environment, which is predicated more on social relationship, familiarity and trust between employees
A little Knowledge that acts is worth more than much knowledge that is A little Knowledge that acts is worth more than much knowledge that is idle.(Kahlil Gibran)idle.(Kahlil Gibran)
Common Misconceptions

Knowledge Management
Who’s Responsible?
Everyone:– Managers/Supervisors
» Leaders as knowledge champions
– The Knowledgeable» Not a problem of knowing, but of access
– End Users» Feedback» Psychological barriers

Role of IT in Implementation
“The biggest contributor to this brilliant growth of the knowledge management system is information technology.”
Lee et al. also say, “...there are negative perspectives about information technology.”
According to a managing partner at a KM consultancy firm based in New York, “The biggest misconception that IT leaders make is that knowledge management is about technology...Usually people begin a KM project by focusing on the technology...But the key is people...”

PwC and LRC KM Study Results Announced
70% of law firm respondents and 63% of Law Dept. respondents reported having KMS in place indicated that they use KMS either “frequently” or “all the time”
The survey indicated that their KM program either meets or exceeds their targeted ROI
85% of the law firms
78% of the law dept. The Avg. budget to support KM initiative was reported at 4.7% of the total
legal spend. Quality, speed and cost containment are what a majority of legal
professionals are seeking from their KM solution providers. The most common standards to measure the value of KM programs are
productivity enhancement and cost reduction.

Legal professionals are increasingly cognizant of the value of KMS that retrieve information from multiple sources and locations. 82% said they would be more efficient if their KM solution could access legal knowledge in multiple formats from multiple resources.
The majority of legal professionals surveyed believe that research redundancy, the reduction of which is a key goal of KM, is caused by lack of communication inside the firm or law dept., and by the lack of incentives to motivate knowledge reuse and eliminate redundant research
“With the ever – increasing volume and types of information available, KM is With the ever – increasing volume and types of information available, KM is more critical than ever. This study provides compelling data on the value more critical than ever. This study provides compelling data on the value and important of KMS.

Charles Lucier, Chief Knowledge Officer at International management and technology consulting firm said up to 84% of all KM programs fail.
A global bank spanning 70 countries abandoned their KMS before it was ever rolled out. A European manufacturing company successfully implemented a KMS, but it was rarely used. A pharmaceutical company implemented a KMS that could not be easily adapted to specific context of each work group

When Knowledge adds up to nothing
Knowledge Management
44
Many companies find that their departments have different takes on what the project means or what it is trying to achieve
Many KM program leaders are ignorant when it comes to the “complexity of these micro-political processes”
Even though some firms are implementing KM programs with support from senior management, it can still fail as a result of lack of support
Some organizations do not achieve adequate ROI from KM as they are failing to measure effectively
Many companies professed to suffer from “information overload” and a shortage of time with which to both share and utilize knowledge
Many firms rely too heavily on consultants who position themselves in highly influential positions within the organization
Many initiatives fails as they only enjoy superficial support from the top management
(21)
Why Knowledge Can add up to nothing --
Knowledge Management

Evidence shows that, despite the potential pitfalls and seemingly high failure rate, companies are still willing to invest in KM. Why? Because there are big benefits there for taking.
The results of several surveys met: 87% of European business directors believe they could enhance their
company’s competitiveness with improved KM and 76% believe Building + Sharing Knowledge is important for their company.
Study of 500 firms conducted by KPMG illustrated 80% of senior executives feel that KM is strategic to their organization and 78% feel they have missed business opportunities.
Hoffmann-Roche, the Swiss pharmaceutical firm, has estimated that it saves over $1 million per day due to its KM activities
BP Amoco attributed $260 million in bottom-line savings to a KM program

Energy firm Schlumberger Ltd. reported an estimated 668% ROI on a $72 million investment in KM over a period of six years
Chevron Corporation estimates that it saved an initial $150 million, plus at least another $20 million annually by instituting a best practices program
Teltech Communications, a firm that specializes in aiding companies to implement knowledge management programs, reports that its clients enjoy an average ROI of 12:1 for their efforts
In a survey carried out by Information Week , IT executives said they considered KM a strategic initiative of high importance, and KM spend is to climb at 62% of the IT institutions surveyed
Hewlett-Packard’s knowledge efforts aimed at customer service have reduced average call times by two-thirds and the cost per call has fallen by 50 percent

Keys to successful KM
As is the case with many new practices in workplace:
Getting employees on board from day one and making sure they realize exactly how KM program is to impact on their routines and bring benefits for the organization as a whole is pivotal
Make sure KM becomes a fundamental aspect of the way you do business
Be sure your KM implementation is less about reporting and more about sharing knowledge
“Knowledge is a company asset, hidden, until the knowledge worker releases it. The key to generating the best returns from your KM Program is to implement a well-planned methodology and ensure that your organization facilitates this release of information.”-Mike Bagshaw, Development Director at Trans4mation Training Ltd,
