Why Choose this Course?
The course will concentrate on the people aspects of Knowledge Management rather than the technology involved. Knowledge Management requires the creation of a culture in which people are willing to share not only their successes but also, sometimes their failures.
The knowledge inside any organisation is probably the greatest asset you have; hence the need to protect and develop it. This course will show you how to do so and how to develop the necessary practices. The use of enterprise social networking, blogs and multimedia for example are transforming knowledge management and contributing to efforts to make work enjoyable and interesting.
The course will feature:
- How to create a culture of sharing
- How to develop a ‘learning organisation’
- How to motivate employees positively to be team players
- How to ensure departments initiate knowledge sharing and reciprocate to initiatives from elsewhere
- How to build systems that recognise efforts to share knowledge
What are the Goals?
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Capture sharedknowledge
- Create an atmosphere of mutual trust
- Develop the supervisory and management teams towards empowering employees
- Engage the workforce in the day to day activities of the organisation
