system / organization model

the organization’s hierarchical structure loosens up and clusters of users

emerge, based on user’s affinities and interests and not on company roles


WHAT KNOWLEDGE?Info/data/knowledge

definition

A collection of information does not necessarily

constitute knowledge but has the potential to

become such when the contextual information

retrieved is used to infer and construct knowledge


WHAT KNOWLEDGE?Info/data/knowledge

definition

In the KMan tool, knowledge is mainly inferred

from contextual information made easily

accessible and filterable

A collection of information does not necessarily

constitute knowledge but has the potential to

become such when the contextual information

retrieved is used to infer and construct knowledge


WHAT KNOWLEDGE?system aims

CAPTURE, MANAGE AND INDEX FOR EASY RETRIEVAL INFORMATION ALREADY AVAILABLE

PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH TO GATHER KNOWLEDGE BY ATTACHING METADATA TO EXISTING

DOCUMENTS TO INCORPORATE FEEDBACK ON THEIR QUALITY OR USEFULNESS

PROVIDE A PLACE TO RECORD AND SHARE OPINIONS, IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES

SUPPORT THE EMERGENCE OF COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE (LAVE AND WEGNER 1991)

SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A SHARED REPERTOIRE OF KNOWLEDGE AMONGST USERS

REDUCING TIME SPENT SOLVING ROUTINE DESIGN PROBLEMS

ALLOWING NOVICE MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION TO BENEFIT FROM EXPERTS’ KNOWLEDGE

FOSTERING INTRA-PROJECT KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND LEARNING


WHAT KNOWLEDGE?tacit knowledge

what to do with it?

MAKE USE OF TACIT KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT

NEEDING TO MAKE IT EXPLICIT
