Tales from the Field: Confessions of a Knowledge Manager
Andrew Trickett of Arup at KA Connect 2013.
02:07 KM Aim #1: Reduce Time Spent Searching For and Gathering Information
02:44 Measure of Success: “Improved Profitability. Happier Employees. Less Divorce.”
03:39 KM Aim #2: Knowledge Reuse
03:41 “Why are you gathering Knowledge if you aren’t going to use it?”
04:09 Every Knowledge Manager needs to be able to answer the question “What’s In It For Me?”
04:28 The Relationship between Knowledge Management and Technology Tools
05:09 KM Aim #3: Conducting Knowledge Reviews While Projects Are Still Active
06:05 KM Aim #4: Improving Skills Networks (Communities of Practice)
07:00 “Forums are the crown jewel of any knowledge management system.”
07:20 Forum Example: Answers to a Question from Around the World in Less than 24 Hours
08:02 “When the call comes, the people of Arup, no matter how senior they are, rally around to help a colleague who asks a question on this forum. It’s because of our sharing culture.”
09:10 KM Program Element #1: Arup People
11:37 Arup People Example: The Unknown Expert 50 Yards Away
12:30 KM Program Element #2: Knowledge Reviews
12:40 “Knowledge Reviews help us capture value stories, provide learning opportunities, and continuously improve the business."
13:21 “People want to share their knowledge because they want to help colleagues. I call it reciprocal altruism.”
13:58 “People remember people who help.”
14:20 “Trust is the killer of knowledge sharing.”
14:25 Advice for Conducting Knowledge Reviews
15:50 “I ask the daft question, the simple question, because I know no better. But sometimes out of that simple question can come massive insights.”
16:10 Tip #1: “Focus on the positive — say, ‘Areas for Improvement vs. Errors.’”
16:57 Tip #2: “Capture the experience, not the document.”
17:20 Tip #3: “Be interested and be curious.”
18:21 Structuring KM: The Importance of Knowledge Enthusiasts and Knowledge Activists
19:16 “A Knowledge Manager has to be talking to people and building connections. Without connections, you’re just somebody sitting there taking e-mails.”
19:51 “You have to be an evangelist, but you have to be realistic. Half an hour of knowledge sharing is better than nothing.”
20:15 “Curiosity is not something that’s lost with age, it’s lost through our organizations. If our organizations are not encouraging us to be curious, what are we doing?”
21:15 What does success look like?
21:18 “Making sure the information is in the right place at the right time for people.”
21:45 “Your duty as a manager is to leave the business better than you found it. The best way to do this is by acting as coaches of growth and learning — you can encourage people to share knowledge, you can set the standard.”
22:54 “I know when I go home if somebody has said to me, ‘I managed to do the job 5 minutes quicker, I walk out like I’m on air.”
24:43 “If you want your organization to survive, you need to get on board with Knowledge Management. It isn’t a fad anymore. This is your bottom line.”
