Date: September 12, 2002 George Washington University Washington, DC Produced by: GWU KM Institute and AFEI

About this conference:

Knowledge Management involves the capture and leveraging of knowledge - the experience and expertise that resides with employees - across our far-flung enterprises. This intellectual capital is the most elusive, yet most valuable, of all corporate assets. This conference will discuss leading industry and government experiences in the leveraging of intellectual assets to improve organizational performance. Architectures for enterprise engineering as well as case studies examining notable success in the KM field will be presented against the backdrop of the failed expectations of technology "solutions".

This conference examines how an enterprise can leverage its relevant intellectual assets to improve efficiency, effectiveness and innovation. KM is multi-disciplinary, integrating leadership, management, organizational processes and structure, technology, organizational dynamics and culture into a comprehensive framework. The framework then provides the means of evaluating current KM strategies and practices and a template for engineering and managing the KM function.

In order to manage intellectual capital, enterprises must devise a way to capture, manage, present and share the appropriate experience and knowledge of individuals with coworkers. When done right, KM can create a more collaborative environment. However, in the recent past KM devolved into a pure technology play as vendors spun their "solutions" into expensive, and under used, software implementations.

But this doesn't mean KM is a worthless concept. There are real business reasons-like increased productivity, worker collaboration and shorter product development cycles-to keep track of organizational knowledge. Experts predict that KM practices won't go away but may become embedded in other disciplines, such as customer relationship management, business intelligence, supplier alliance management or enterprise resource planning.

The experts say that technology is only a small part of what's is more accurately a cultural mission supported by appropriate enterprise processes on top of a network-centric topology.
