This course provides attendees with techniques and tools for identifying KM processes for enhancing their role in enterprise success and for transitioning their own PKM success into opportunities for others in the larger organization. Topics covered include:

  • the role of PKM in the successful organization
  • attention to PKM at the senior leadership level and the impact of that attention in the larger enterprise
  • identifying and relating the employee's PKM environment with the larger organizational mission
  • knowledge development and knowledge sharing about PKM as a cross-functional collaboration

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will identify and summarize definitions, descriptions, and applications for personal knowledge management in the workplace. Participants will recognize how PKM influences workplace success and how PKM in the larger environment influences the development of a knowledge culture. Participants will evaluate employee apathy and diminishing interests as workplace dangers. Participants will also validate PKM as a collaboration toll for enterprise-wide awareness raising about the knowledge unit.

Specific Learning Outcomes

  1. Identify PKM opportunities both in the knowledge management/knowledge services environment and in the wider organization
  2. Identify PKM activities
  3. Determine costs and resource allocation for implementing enterprise-wide PKM activities
  4. Use strategic learning initiatives to grow and evaluate PKM

At the conclusion of the course, participants will design an action plan for identifying a PKM need in their parent organization. Using learning outcomes from the course and based on their understanding of the current or potential knowledge management/knowledge services environment, the exercise will enable participants to return to the workplace with a product that they can use to establish a new PKM activity for the organization's staff.

Performance Measure

Course assessment, exercises and discussions will measure and evaluate the degree of understanding that participants achieve over the learning process.

Prerequisites

While the primary goal in developing these programs is to allow SLA members to earn one or more certificates, each of these courses has inherent value and any course may be taken à la carte. KMSKS01 is recommended but not required.
