INF458 Knowledge Management Strategies & Processes (8)

This subject focuses on the strategies and processes used by organisations to identify, access, manage, and share their information assets to meet their knowledge management (KM) needs. Knowledge audit strategies leading to knowledge management processes in a dynamic organisation are included. Central to the subject is the design of knowledge management processes focusing on the critical role of knowledge brokers, champions, and subject experts in organisational knowledge capture and use. Technologies embedded within a knowledge management process will be introduced as drivers that facilitate information flow and sharing, and will include social networking tools, portals, knowledge repositories, and content management systems. This subject complements INF336/INF441 Principles of Knowledge Management.
