Thanks to all our participants and facilitators for a great session on 11 May. This page will be the location for event materials, video podcasts and further questions and contributions.

FORMAT OF EVENT

We used a modified World Cafe format: we assigned a topic for discussion to each of four tables, each one hosted by an experienced KM practitioner. The four topics were:

1. Getting Management Buy-in for KM
2. Drawing up a KM Consulting Tender
3. Gathering Technology Requirements for KM
4. Identifying KM Pilot Projects

Participants chose which topic they wanted to join, and discussed it for 45 minutes, making notes as they went. Then after a break for refreshments, we all changed topic and followed through on a second topic. At the end of the afternoon, the hosts of each topic gave a short video presentation (see below).

Getting Management Buy-in For KM #2

This is a continuation page for the story collection phase of this project. You can find full details of this project on the main project page.

Please add here your experiences of trying (and succeeding or failing) in getting management buy-in for a KM project, whether at senior level or at middle and operational level, using the contribution box below. All participants will receive the results of the research, which should be a range of practical approaches to use in getting management buy-in.

Many thanks!

Getting Management Buy-in For KM

The objective of this collaborative research project is to discover a variety of strategies for getting management buy-in for knowledge management initiatives. It covers both senior and middle management levels.

In the first phase of this project, we are gathering examples from the practical experience of knowledge management practitioners, where buy-in has been sought, whether or not the attempt was successful. Some early contributions from the ACT-KM Forum are listed below, and you are invited to make your own contribution here.

In the second phase, we will be working with the material gathered and KM practitioners in a number of locations (Singapore, Australia, maybe more) to identify issues, themes and potential approaches. We’ll be using techniques developed by the Cognitive Edge (formerly Cynefin) network.

The results and a write-up of the methodology will be made available to participants and the ACT-KM community. (For an example of an earlier research project about online community culture, see this article).

PLEASE REVIEW THE EXAMPLES BELOW AND ADD A CONTRIBUTION FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE.

You can anonymise the details or refer to an incident “in an organisation you know”. The main thing we want is a description of the incident itself and its consequences, good, bad or interesting. While you might feel like reflecting more generally on what happened or might have happened, we are more interested in the actual story of what happened than getting advice at this stage on how to approach managers for support. The following prompt questions may help:

Due to the number of contributions on this page, we have now opened up a supplementary page here.
Many thanks for your participation!
