Knowledge Management Methodology Part 1

Distance Learning Workshop 3: Knowledge Management Methodology: K-STREAM and Its Core Tools, Part 1

KM Strategies are implemented through Policies, Programs, and 
Projects, using techniques and tools. Such implementations are 
done best when they are done systematically. This workshop is

for implementing KM Programs and Projects, and also its core 
tools. The Workshop will cover: KM Methodology and K-STREAM; 
K-STREAM Overview; K-STREAM Phase 1: Strategy/Assessment 
Phase; Expert Choice: A Core KM Tool with Multiple Functions; 
Expert Choice Tool Presentation, High-level Ontology Modeling 
and Measurement Modeling; The Open Enterprise Template (a

Simile: A Core System Dynamics Tool; and Discussion on Strategy 
Assessment Phase at your organization.
