1. Sharing Hidden Know-How: How Managers Solve Thorny Problems with the Knowledge Jam SI KM Leaders Community June 15, 2010 Kate Pugh Align Consulting [email_address] SIKM Knowledge Jam (Katrina Pugh) 100615 Organizations miss innovation opportunities, waste resources, and put their businesses at risk because they fail to take advantage of the hidden, or “tacit” knowledge in their own networks. Even where they try, failure often results as well-intentioned people don’t capture the right knowledge, or don’t capture enough nuance to make it actionable elsewhere. Knowledge Jam is a novel process for getting out and circulating insight. It stands apart because it is facilitated, collective, and intentionally shares the responsibility for applying the captured knowledge, leveraging Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0. In this session we describe the process, introduce the roles of the key players, and discuss case studies.

Knowledge Originators - SMEs or project veterans whose knowledge needs to be captured Knowledge Brokers - seekers accountable for using the knowledge & bringing it to their processes, training, etc. Facilitator - guides through the five steps of the Knowledge Jam including facilitating the Elicitation event Sponsor - selects Knowledge Jam subjects, funds Knowledge Jam, advocates for events and subsequently brokers Champion – plays on-the-groung project manager, maintains client attention, manages logistics, communications
Prioritizes Knowledge Jams and Knowledge Jam topics Assists coordination of planning and Knowledge Jam events Facilitates / creates a positive “sharing” environment Identifies and includes the right participants Offers a “just in time” knowledge-transfer during the Knowledge Jam cycle Introduces the event and its components Draws out questions from other participant Electronically captures notes for review by all stakeholders and reconfirm broker commitment to “brokering” Summarizes Reminds brokers of brokering responsibilities Models re-use behavior
Voice (Involvement, need or intention) : We are more likely to make use of a new idea or change effort if we had a hand in creating it. Our search for knowledge is triggered by specific needs (a problem, task, puzzle) and we are most likely to remember and use ideas that satisfy those needs. Respect : Our memory is heightened when we are present for another, respecting their words Suspension (holding back our mental models) : We refine our thinking, share our knowledge, and produce insights only through suspension. That is, holding back our judgments and positions. Listening (reflection/ systems thinking) : It is reflection on experience that brings us useful lessons. Trying not to use too much Organizational Learning language here on the slide.

1. Midas: How do they stage and nudge the conversation 2. Voice – Respect – Listening – Suspension 3. Your “broker” - Do they share with you persuasively? Why are you inclined to put those ideas “to work”?
