5- Social BPM
With the ‘internet of everything,’ why should we worry about capturing knowledge? I don’t think I have time for ‘socializing’ – I have too much work to do.
Social business process management (also called social business) encompasses knowledge management. Social media as a knowledge management tool is relatively new. Typically, the knowledge management process involved:
i. the discovery or identification of relevant knowledge
ii. the capture of individual’s knowledge by the organization
iiii. the sharing or dissemination of knowledge
iv. the application or utilization of the shared knowledge and
v. the maintenance of the knowledge database to keep it relevant.
This process allowed organizations to become learning organizations and not reinvent the wheel over and over again. Social media presents a new opportunity for organizations to quickly and efficiently share knowledge. But it also presents a new challenge to KM — how to capture the knowledge being shared so that the organization can learn from it.
a- Apply the concepts of social BPM to design a KM solution using social media
b- Analyze the efficacy of current KM practices in a case situation.
6- Organizational Learning
How can an organization protect its most valuable asset – knowledge?
As noted, organizations can no longer compete by just managing land, labor and capital. Processes and knowledge are now key competitive tools. A significant dilemma facing organizations is to how to take advantage of the knowledge their employees have gained while working for them. Organizations expend a significant amount of resources training and developing the expertise of their employees. But once that expertise is developed, employees may move to another organization or retire, which can be a huge loss. Good knowledge management practices can significantly reduce the losses.
