Knowledge Management: A Working Definition
A human-centered, organization-wide approach to knowledge sharing and learning
The conscious integration of people, processes and technology to collect, share, and use information that builds organizational capacity for continuous improvement
Ultimately,transforming what an organization knows into how it acts

“Roaches (data) check in, but they can’t check out”

A Few Knowledge Management Building Blocks
![Page 8: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What Is This?
Data
![Page 9: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Information is Datain Context

Core Resources: People, Processes, and Technology
People’s attitudes, behaviors, and the role of management
Organizational processes, policies, and structures
Technology and information systems
![Page 13: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
It is people who access data, place information in context, and create and share knowledge
Knowledge within an organization can be tacit as well as explicit, often with tacit information as “institutional memory”
![Page 14: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“For those of you who don’t know Mr. Ingham—he’s our institutional memory.”
![Page 15: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Lack of leadership support for data access and sharing
Data use perceived as threatening Information overload
Challenges
![Page 16: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Provide incentives for people to share and use what they know
Identify and improve management styles and patterns of behavior
Provide means for transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge
Knowledge Management Approach
![Page 17: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Organizational processes, policies, and structures can either inhibit or enhance the sharing of information and knowledge
These processes influence individual behavior, which lead to establishment of organizational norms and behavior
![Page 18: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Need for better analysis of existing data and information
Insufficient internal research capacity Fragmentation and lack of
coordination across functions and departments
Challenges
![Page 19: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Identify patterns of information use (and non-use)
Establish and promote processes that encourage the use and sharing of information
Develop processes and structures that disable information silos
Knowledge Management Approach
![Page 20: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Disabling an Information Silo
![Page 21: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Technological advances—such as data warehousing—can make data much more accessible, particularly for non-experts
However, the implementation of technology itself does not promote the use of data, particularly among those less familiar with information technology
![Page 22: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Data perceived as unreliable Inadequate, unreliable, or
disconnected information systems Insufficient technology support
Challenges
![Page 23: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
People, Processes, and Technology
Involve end-users in system design and implementation processes
Promote information systems that span departments rather than serve to reinforce divisions among them
Knowledge Management Approach
![Page 24: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Result: A Culture of Inquiry
Access to reliable data to measure and assess
Effective information use and sharing Create and share knowledge cross-
functionally to ask questions and solve problems proactively
Turn knowledge into action as a means to improve outcomes, performance, or effectiveness
![Page 25: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Knowledge ManagementIs Not…
An isolated approach A quick fix Ready-made for your college campus A new campus-wide information system A way to control or define what knowledge “is” Something you can buy from a vendor

Types of Questions Associated With Research on KM
How can a college improve the way information systems are used in decision-making?
Are there incentives on campus for people to share what they know across departments?
Are external demands for information aligned with internal needs for information?
How do accountability mandates affect institutional practice?
![Page 28: Knowledge Management in Higher Education: Creating Accountability from Within Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed15503460f94bdf4d1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why Should We Bother?
Internal Motivators Improved student learning outcomes More informed decision-making Financial goals (increased efficiency)External Motivators Accountability mandates Accreditation processes Perceptions of public needs
