Data
• facts, numbers or individual entities without context
Information
• comprises the basic facts with context and perspective
• Information= data + interpretation

Types of Knowledge
Tacit Knowledge “highly personal and hard to formalize. Subjective insights, intuitions
and hunches fall into this category of knowledge.”
E.g. Experience, Creativity, Skills, Innovation, etc.
Explicit Knowledge: “can be expressed in words and numbers and can be easily
communicated and shared in the form of hard data, scientific formulae,
codified procedures or universal principles”
E.g. Pattern, R&D Materials, Best Practices, etc.

The Importance of Knowledge
Resources of an organization must be protected, cultivated and shared among organization members to sustain continuity.
To compete more effectively in the future an organization need to have the following elements such as

Problems Relating to Knowledge
Usually exists in the minds of individuals
Leaves the organization with the employee
Hidden in some forgotten report
People are not comfortable sharing their
knowledge.
• a human problem, not a technology problem.
WHY?
12
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
National Institute of Public Administration
People are not sharing what they know due to
• personal reason
• organizational inhibitors.
This is becoming an extremely expensive reality.
Problems Relating to Knowledge (cont’d)
13

Inefficiencies that result from intellectual work.
Substandard performance
The inability to find knowledge resources
A better idea goes unused is a lost opportunity

Definition of KM
KM is a systematic management process by which knowledge is identified, created, gathered, shared, applied in pursuit of organizational objectives.
15

National Institute of Public Administration
Definition of KM (cont’d)
A systematic process of information in a way that improves an employee’s understanding in a specific area of interest.
It helps an organization gain lesson learnt and understanding from its own experience
16

National Institute of Public Administration
Definition of KM (cont’d)
Specific KM activities help focus the organization knowledge for problem solving, e-learning, strategic planning & decision making.
KM protects intellectual assets from decay, add to organization intelligence and provides increased flexibility.

Elements of KM People
The culture of the organization support ongoing
learning & knowledge sharing
The people should be motivated and rewarded
for creating, sharing & using knowledge
Inspire the people to innovate & learn from
mistakes. Do not allow “blame and shame”
culture
Also relate to mindset, trust, insight, hunches
19

Reasons People Don’t Share Knowledge:
People believe that knowledge is power
People are insecure about the value of their knowledge
People don't trust each other
Employees are afraid of negative consequences
People work for other people who don't tell what they know
Elements of KM (cont’d)

Elements of KM (cont’d)
Process
In order to implement and sustain knowledge management,
organizations need to make changes to the way their internal
processes are structured.
Identify which processes constitute either barriers to, or enablers
of, knowledge management.
How these processes can be adapted, or what new processes can
be introduced, to support people in creating, sharing and applying
knowledge?
activity such as research, observation, meeting, coaching, social
network, portal and etc.

Elements of KM (cont’d)
Technology
a crucial enabler of knowledge management
it can help connect people with information, and
people with each other, but it is not the solution.
KM portal, discovery tools, applications, etc.

Knowledge Repositories
Tool used to store information
Also known as Data Warehouse
Examples:
• Business Intelligence
• EIS, DSS
25
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
National Institute of Public Administration
Expert Systems
Attempts to provide an answer to a problem with
the consultation aid of human expert.
Example: Case based reasoning• Characteristics of a problem are entered into a system, classified
based on different cases, and provides a potential solution. This
case and it’s solution is then added to the database.
Help Desk• From experience of maintenance activity, the system can
produce result to the user and what action should be taken.
26
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
National Institute of Public Administration
Data Mining
Attempt by the system to translate huge
amounts of data into knowledge
Analyzes patterns
Some examples…..• Based on information gathered from current and historical data ,
it can help forecast market trends, business patterns, profiling
practices using algorithms.
• Examples of DM product: Scenario (Cognos), Intelligent Miner
(IBM)
27

Intranets
Usually the first stage of KM implementation for most organizations
HR forms, online resources, work product status…
Plan with the user in mind: access, flexibility and navigation
E.g. SharePoint
29

Extranets
Centralized electronic repository of
information
Accessed by clients
E.g. advertising, newsletters, client
specific information, status of orders….
Interactive tools for collaboration

STAGE 2: Develop Strategy
Establish a KM exploratory group or steering committee for KM
Need support from an executive sponsor for further exploration of KM
Look for internal grassroots efforts already under way
IT organization is interested in actively supporting KM initiatives
Stories of how knowledge sharing has helped in the past (lesson learnt)
identify proof-of-concept (POC) that allows to demonstrate how KM will benefit our organization
Secured ownership, funding, and buy-in for pilots
37
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)

KEY BENEFITS OF KM
SYSTEM
41
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
National Institute of Public Administration
The Need for a KM System
Increases the capture, sharing and
transfer of knowledge across the
organization
Captures tacit and explicit knowledge
Enables indexing and categorization to
facilitate searching and mining
42
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
National Institute of Public Administration
The Need for a KM System (cont’d)
Single point of access to knowledge contained in
isolated information systems
Monitors and alerts user when new knowledge is
captured
Linking individuals to knowledge to encourage
reuse and sharing
Encourage collaboration by linking individuals to
individuals
43
Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)
