Week 2 Brainstorming Discussions
Topic: How the KM Model Brings Organization to the Tasks of the KM Cycle
Rockfish read Jane’s memo and is intrigued by the idea of KM, but he is still not so sure that he understands how it all works. He googled KM and discovered that the Nonaka and Takeuchi model was one of the most widely accepted foundation schemes for KM users. Jane being the good manager that she is told Rockfish to speak with you. Rockfish did so and now he has asked you to give him a short 6 slide PowerPoint with speaker notes explaining the model and how it might work at Global Delivery Direct.
Use the example of Dawn Jasper, the current administrative assistant to the airplane purchasing agent. She knows everything there is to know about buying a plane but since she is not the person doing the negotiations her knowledge is never really sought after by anyone but her boss. Explain how this information could be shared with others using the KM model and cycle tasks.
Directions:
- BY SATURDAY, complete the following:
- In six slides explain the relationship between the N&T KM model and how it works with the KM cycle tasks to create shared information. Use Dawn as your example. Ensure you weave Dawn’s example across all 4 quadrants to show how her knowledge would flow from quadrant to quadrant and what KM activities would take place in each quadrant.
- The slides must have speaker notes explaining your model and the relationship.
- You must use course material to support your responses and APA in-text citations with a reference list.
- Before submitting your initial post to this discussion, submit it in the form of a Word document or PPT to [Week 2 Brainstorming Discussion Dropbox] for review by Turnitin.
