HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE A MAJOR ADVANCE IN KNOWLEDGE PERFORMANCE?
KPAM™
OUR KNOWLEDGE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY (KPAM™)
Knowledge Management Implementation
Our goal is simple - to contribute to your realization of smarter, faster, and better planned and executed KM initiatives.
The Challenge
It can be difficult to implement KM successfully in any organization.
Many initiatives start off with great promise.
Many also under-perform, fail to deliver the targeted results, or simply end up stagnating.
The Opportunity
Fortunately there are ways to improve the chances of success for your knowledge management program. One of these is to have an independent review which will provide rapid and honest feedback. It can help you to enter the zone of peak knowledge performance by:
Optimizing
the return on investment in your knowledge assets.
Clarifying
those areas for dramatic improvement.
Resetting
the compass of your program for success.
Refocusing
on the delivery of amazing results.
You will also receive many constructive suggestions and practical ideas. They can contribute to your KM projects becoming more effective, and successful.
The Pitfalls
In a review of over100 KM projects, the researchers concluded:
..... the business impact of most knowledge management or learning organization programs is modest at best. We estimate that about one-sixth of these programs achieve very significant impact within the first two years; half achieve small but important benefits; and the remaining third -- the failures -- have little business impact. *
The Solution
We can definitely help you to increase the effectiveness and success of your knowledge management program.
We offer to conduct a rapid, rigorous, effective, and independent review.
There are many benefits to having an external and independent assessment completed. Major benefits include:
Deliver
ROI on your investment in
KM. We look for ways to help you save valuable time and money, improve
project satisfaction, enhance revenue potential, and better preserve and
optimize knowledge assets.
Energize and
revitalize your knowledge
management program.
Compare
how well you are doing in relation to known best practices of others, where the
context is similar.
Receive fresh
thinking and ideas on how to make your project move faster.
Save money
by learning how to accelerate your KM initiatives.
Improve perceptions
by senior management of your knowledge leadership and stewardship, by the
use of independent outside input.
Identify strengths,
gaps, impediments, risks, and vulnerabilities
which may not be currently obvious. Avoid blind-spots.
Improve
the prospect of success for your KM initiative.
Break through change
barriers with suggestions
for the use of little known but proven techniques that work magic.
Provide a repeatable
methodology so that further comparisons and adjustments can be made in the
future.
Gain new knowledge
from the assessment. It can
be used to adjust priorities and make sound decisions moving forward.
It is worthwhile asking yourself these challenging questions:
How effectively is your
KM program or initiative, in truly delivering value to the enterprise?

helping your company to be more profitable?
Is your KM program
making the most effective use of existing technology investments in
support of KM?

benefits such as having a positive impact on image, reputation, market
leadership?
