Stimulating Knowledge Creation Dr. Elaine Ferneley Practices & Processes Our focus today Creating & creativity techniques Discovering data & text mining knowledge elicitation business simulation, content analysis Sharing & communities of practice, learning networks Learning share fairs, share best practice cross functional teams, action reviews Organizing knowledge centres, knowledge audits & Managing expertise profiling, knowledge mapping measurement of intellectual capital Elaine Ferneley Individual Knowledge Drivers Become learning organisations: learning resource centres; corporate universities. Stimulating working environments; Time to think; Facilities for dissemination; Reward and recognition. Elaine Ferneley Tools & Techniques Infrastructure: groupware, intranets, document management, KM suites Thinking: mind mapping, creativity tools Gathering, discovering: search engines, alerting, push, data mining, intelligent agents Organize, store: data warehousing, metadata, XML Knowledge worker support: case based reasoning, decision support, workflow, community support, simulation Application specific: CRM, expertise profiling, competitive intelligence Elaine Ferneley Mind Mapping – For Brainstorming & Knowledge Elicitation Mind Mapping is a technique developed by Tony Buzan to help individuals organise, generate and learn ideas and information Pictorial representation – detail and overview together Consider spatial relationships and anticipate consequences Supported by visual processing – improved recall, aids understanding Explicit representation acts as a creativity trigger Elaine Ferneley Hand Drawn Mind Map Elaine Ferneley Benefits of Mind Maps Elaine Ferneley Why Mind Map Software – the Pro’s and Con’s Supports continuous refinement Allows variable granularity Brings formality (validity?) to the process Integration with other tools Cross ref & re-assembly of elements of the knowledge base possible Elaine Ferneley Slow Horde mentality (difficult to throw away early versions) Semantics – in large implementations is the same vocabulary being used Common understanding Maintenance – especially due to the transitory nature of the output Other Simple Elicitation Tools Visualisation tools: Mind Map falls into this category; Themescape; Umap Intelligent tools: Software agents; Personal digital assistants Auto-summarize – see Microsoft Word Elaine Ferneley Summary KM can not be left to serendipity Electronic support market leader – Mind Map --- high level, continuous refinement, multiple views Aim: introduction to simple knowledge elicitation tools, encourage critical analysis of such tools and techniques, recognition that organisationally they are attractive Elaine Ferneley
