  1. KM as a process Approach K. Sharing &Dissemination

  2. Definition • The best way to disseminate knowledge and best practice is through systematic transfer. • It is defined as “ the process of moving useful information from one individual to another person” . • It is involved the flows of knowledge between the knowledge provider (source) and the knowledge receiver (seeker). • It is actually more related to the communication process .

  3. Fundamentals of KT • Trans knowledge should be a daily, integral part of a learning organization. • Transmitting (or conveying) the knowledge of one source to another source . • The goal is to promote/facilitate knowledge sharing, increase collaboration and networking works

  4. What is the difference between Knowledge sharing & Knowledge dissemination?

  5. The Importance of Knowledge Dissemination • It represents a good source of competitive advantages for organization. • It is a less expensive alternative to knowledge creation and acquisition. • Through the shared knowledge organization never lose it. • Knowledge will keep on growing

  6. Through the efficient dissemination of knowledge, and giving employees access to share it with each other, organization's ability to make rapid decisions will improve. • The shared knowledge stimulates the creation of new knowledge. • It helps in reducing the costs, by preventing individual from repeating the same mistakes of other individual. • It improve the overall organization success

  7. Alle (1997) explained the idea of knowledge sharing through his statement “ knowledge = power, so share it and it will multiply

  8. As example • Chevron firm reduced its operating cost by more than $2 billion in the last seven years through sharing its best practices,; its best practice team has saved it $650 million in energy use alone. • Texas Instruments increased its annual fabrication capacity by $1.5 billion by comparing and transferring best practices among its 13 fabrication plants .

  9. as a result understanding and developing the effective knowledge transfer and share it within organization currently became imperative

  10. Dimensions of transferred k • Dimensions of transferred knowledge • TACIT EXPLICIT • COMLEX SIMPLE • SPECIFIC NON SPECIFIC • SYSTEMIC AUTONOMOUS • Clearly, the more the position of k. towards the left end is an indicator that this k. may be difficult to transfer whereas a position of k. towards the right is indicative of ease of transfer.

  11. Strategies of Knowledge Transfer • Collective sequential transfer —specialized team performs same function at other sites Feedback Team worked on a project at Site A Evaluate the knowledge gained Revise/redesign each member’s assignment to reflect knowledge gained from previous job Same team works on similar project at Site B Evaluate each member’s action before the next job

  12. Strategies of Knowledge Transfer • one team shares experience with another working on a similar job at another site Team C worked on a project at Site C Team D shares experience with Team E at Site E Knowledge capture through experience Feedback Team C shares experience with Team D working on project of similar nature at Site D Team D works on project benefiting from Team C’s experience

  13. Strategies of Knowledge Transfer Tacit knowledge transfer — unique in complex, non-algorithmic projects, where knowledge is mentally stored • Knowledge have to be modified in language, tone, and content to be usable TEAM B of 18 specialists TEAM A of 11 specialists Tacit knowledge transfer AUSTRALIA INDONESIA

  14. Knowledge stickiness • The concept of knowledge "stickiness referred to the difficulty of transferring knowledge within an organization • Therefore a key challenge for management is not just transferring knowledge between the sender and the receiver but the main challenge is how to facilitate sharing the effective knowledge in the organization
