Knowledge Management Strategy and Implementation

Start with the strategy maps

Knowledge Management Strategy and Implementation is a section of the Knowledge Management unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). Its resources are community-made mind maps, so each one presents its subject through connected ideas rather than a sequence of quiz questions.

A useful starting point is Knowledge Management Strategy. Several maps share this title. Their excerpts introduce strategy and consider the resources and skills involved in developing one. Compare the branches to see how the maps approach the subject.

Then look at KM Strategy. Its branches include formulating, implementing and evaluating strategy, as well as transfer, direction and sequencing. Use those terms to organize your own reading of the other maps on this page.

Explore errors, incentives and change

The maps on fundamental errors consider how knowledge is distinguished from data and information. They also introduce the idea of creating a working definition of knowledge. After reading a strategy map, use these branches to consider the terms on which a strategy depends.

The map on incentive mechanisms includes knowledge sharing, organizational culture, and tangible and intangible incentives. KM and change readiness presents a conceptual model linking change readiness, knowledge management processes and effectiveness. A map on implementing knowledge management also includes leadership vision, trust and change management.

Use the maps together

Choose a term from one map, such as transfer or knowledge sharing, and look for related ideas in another. Note where the maps use different branches or levels of detail. You can turn those observations into questions for discussion or personal practice.

The maps give you several ways to study this section of the Knowledge Management unit: start with strategy, then follow the connections to errors, incentives or implementation. Pick a branch that interests you and compare it across the maps.
