TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE
Shallow and Deep Knowledge: Shallow or readily recalled surface knowledge indicates minimal understanding of the problem area. Deep knowledge is acquired through years of experience Knowledge as Know-How: Knowledge based on know-how, or build up lessons of practical experience, is what is needed for building expert systems
Common Sense as Knowledge: Common sense is another type of knowledge that all human beings possess in varying degrees and in varying amounts. It is a set of personal experiences and facts acquired over time and the type of knowledge that humans are likely to take for granted
Reasoning and Heuristics: Reasoning is relating one concept to another concept. Heuristics means reasoning with exact facts. Procedural knowledge to Episodic Knowledge: Procedural knowledge is an understanding of how to do a chore or carryout a procedure. It is knowledge enclosed in the use of a procedure. Episodic knowledge is knowledge based on experiential information or episodes.
Explicit and Tacit Knowledge: Tacit knowledge is knowledge embedded in the human mind through experience and jobs. Explicit knowledge is knowledge codified and digitized in books, documents, reports, etc.
Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge Renewal
Initial knowledge Outcome is realized Team performs a job Outcome compared to action
New knowledge reusable by same team on next job Knowledge captured and codified in a form usable by others New experience/ knowledge gained
KNOWLEDGE CREATION
Knowledge update can mean creating new knowledge based on ongoing experience in a specific domain and then using the new knowledge in combination with the existing knowledge to come up with updated knowledge for knowledge sharing.
KNOWLEDGE CREATION
KM is not a technology; it is an activity enabled by technology and produced by people An alternative way of creating knowledge is via teamwork A team compares job experience to job outcome translates experience into knowledge Such newly acquired knowledge is carried to the next job Maturation over time with a specific job turns experience into expertise

Knowledge acquisition is a process by which the experts thoughts and experiences are captured. Knowledge Capture Techniques: On site observation Brainstorming Electronically aided brainstorming Protocol analysis a diagnostic process Repertory Grid Delphi method Nominal Group Technique (NGT Concept mapping
EXAMPLES
1. On-site observation was used by one knowledge developer to build a teller KM system for a commercial bank, a project that took 2 months to complete. She sat in a booth adjacent to a senior teller with 7 years of experience. The purpose of the project was to build a KM system to determine when a cheque exceeded the set limits ($500, in this case) and what to do about the problem without requiring an officers signature.
KNOWLEDGEACQUISITION EXERCISE
IPTV India is a startup firm that will focus on Internet Protocol TV i.e. streaming of TV channels over the Internet into the home instead of via satellite. The core technologies high speed bandwidth and connecting a PC/laptop to a TV for large screen display are now available. Your task , as a group, is to devise a process to select the CEO. Explain the different Knowledge Acquisition techniques you will use and why. Explain the final selection process.

Tacit to tacit communication (socialization). Experience among people in face-to-face meetings Tacit to explicit communication (externalization). Articulation among people through dialog Explicit to explicit communication (communication). Best supported by technology Explicit to tacit communication (internalization).

KNOWLEDGE AVAILABILITY
External to organization facilities such as powerful search engines to access external knowledge Internal knowledge:
Pervasive sharing infrastructure - eg. Save all documents to a knowledge base at the time of creation Sharing culture can be built by Content People seeding the knowledge base with both external and internal Technology knowledge

THE CONCEPT OF MEMES AS APPLIED TO KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT When an employee reads a knowledge item from a knowledge base, the employee is surveyed to assess the performance potential and spreading power of the knowledge item
Based on this feedback, metadata about the item is created in the knowledge base (metadata = data about data) This allows knowledge to be organized in terms of their relative utility
Such concepts used very powerfully by search engines such as Google.
KNOWLEDGE ACCURACY
Metadata about the accuracy of knowledge items can also be added to the base Use of keywords, tags, etc Ease of addition of metadata is a key requirement

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS Knowledge Management System :: A system for managing, organizing, filtering, analyzing, and disseminating knowledge in all its forms within an organization Knowledge Ecosystem: People Networks Knowledge Networks Technology Networks Based on the concept that a Network = Nodes connected by Links
Organizational Network Analysis: software supported methodologies that allow knowledge mapping in an organization . Very large number of easy-to-use software tools to assist
KNOWLEDGE MAPS
1. Location, ownership, validity, timeliness, domain, sensitivity, access rights, storage medium, use statistics, medium and channels of organizational data, information and knowledge
ORGANIZATIONAL BENEFITS
Encourage reuse of knowledge and prevent reinvention Highlight islands of expertise and how to connect them Discover effective and emergent communities of practice as learning is happening Provide a baseline for measuring progress Reduce the burden on experts Improve customer response, decision making and problem solving Highlight opportunities for learning and leveraging of knowledge Provide an inventory of intangible and tangible knowledge assets
KNOWLEDGE GENERATION
Knowledge codification and refinement Knowledge transmission Web enabled IT tools: Database tools Process Modelling and Management Workflow Management Search engines, navigation tools and Portals Visualization tools Collaborative tools
Collaborative portal: Intelligent linkage products implemented as a collaborative portal solution can ensure that linkages are established across the value chain and the supply mechanisms and planning processes of suppliers, subcontractors and distributors operate in harmony with that of the corporation.
