EFFECTIVE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Today, knowledge is one of the most important intangible assets available to organisations which can be systematically exploited to assist organisations to facilitate innovation and develop sustainable competitive advantage. As such Knowledge Management is a new and rapidly expanding management practice. While this is acknowledged by most European companies and other public sector organizations (universities, government agencies, local authorities, etc) the necessary guides, tools, systems, methodologies, etc. are not readily available.
Finding the appropriate guides, tools and methodologies to support the implementation of an internal Knowledge Management (K.M.) system is often difficult. WESTBIC is involved in a pilot programme, established to address this gap and to develop and test training materials, methodologies, tools and practices in the area of Knowledge Management.
Supported through the Leonardo da Vinci Programme, 11 partners from Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Romania, have come together to create a Knowledge Management training platform/portal as part of this Trainmor Knowmore pilot initiative. This web-based platform seeks to help managers and employees to investigate Knowledge Management in relation to their own organisations. It will also provide them with simple practical guides and methodologies which will support them in implementing internal Knowledge Management practices.
The final Trainmor Knowmore Handbook and website is available and they seek to offer practical Knowledge Management guides, tools and methodologies as well as useful information on Knowledge Management research and literature, practitioners, consultants and case studies.
