\u2018Leverage\u2019 will be the Key Word for Knowledge Management.<\/p><\/div>\n

While a lot of noise is getting generated around getting \u2018Social\u2019 and \u2018Gamification\u2019, my strong conviction is that the Key Word for 2014 is going to be \u2018Leverage\u2019. After all, just as \u2018all roads lead to Rome\u2019, the objective of all KM efforts is to \u2018leverage\u2019 the knowledge residing in the organization and in its people, as well as knowledge available outside, for the benefit of the organization.<\/p>\n

It was Peter Senge<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0who first propounded the concept of \u2018Leveraging Knowledge\u2019 in his seminal work \u2018The Fifth Discipline<\/a>\u2019 . Later Thomas Stewart<\/a> carried the thought further in his tome \u2018The Wealth of Knowledge<\/a>\u2019. All KM Techniques, Tools and Thoughts are in essence building around this objective- to unleash the power of knowledge that has accumulated in the course of business.<\/p>\n

I have always advocated that for KM to succeed it has to have Business Impact. I have also espoused that most solutions to problems reside with the very people who are close to the ground. It is just it needs to be \u2018uncovered\/ discovered\u2019 through a process of involvement. Unfortunately, the current organization structure almost mandates that solutions need to be directed from the top- according to hierarchy. However this is changing, with management thought veering around to the belief that a Manager is like a \u2018Music Conductor\u2019. He orchestrates the harmonious performance of individuals\/ departments with specific expertise and blends their talents for success.<\/p>\n

Similarly KM is harmonizing with L&D, Talent Management and Content Management to enhance the capabilities of the organization to address the business challenges in a sustainable manner. Social Network technologies and features, creating Gamification programs, using Analytics and Cloud, providing content on Mobile, are merely tools to achieve the objective.<\/p>\n

When the organization does \u2018leverage\u2019 the internal powerhouse of gathered knowledge, it does so at a fraction of the cost it would incur to throw resources in search of an outside solution.<\/p>\n

This is why I am so sure that 2014 will be good for KM. We only need to learn how to apply \u2018leverage\u2019 better than before.<\/p>\n

Let me know what your Key Word is for 2014\u2026.<\/p>\n
