Assessment Task 2: KM Strategy (50%)

Rationale

The aim of Assessment Task 2 is to enable you to demonstrate that you have a broad understanding of the theory and practice of knowledge management (KM). By completing the assessment task you will have an opportunity to take the theoretical concepts covered during the course and consider how these might be applied in an organisational setting.

Specifically, Assessment Task 2 requires you to develop a KM strategy for an organisation. The course learning outcomes (CLO) addressed in this assessment task are:

• CLO1: Analyse and explain the developments in the ‘new economy’ and in particular the place and nature of knowledge in such developments

• CLO2: Demonstrate a broad, critical and practical understanding of KM theories and practices in the real world.

• CLO3: Investigate the linkages between management and KM and in particular of those between KM and strategic and human resources management

• CLO4: Examine the various human, organisational and technological components that together combine to produce KM

• CLO5: Explore the role and place of information and communications technologies in the practice of KM

• CLO6: Develop a KM strategy for an organisation

General Guidelines

It is envisaged that this assessment task will result in the development of a professional KM strategy.

The strategy should draw upon the material studied in each of the ten topics covered across the semester. Depending on the organisation selected, the emphasis on each topic is likely to vary. In order to increase your motivation and interest in completing this assessment task, you are encouraged to select an organisation and industry of interest to you.

Please note, however, this organisation cannot be one that you’ve used as the basis for an assessment task previously (in this or any other course), without the written consent of the Course Coordinator. You should ensure that you are able to acquire sufficient information on your chosen organisation in order to enable a meaningful KM strategy to be developed. Such information might be sought from secondary sources such as case studies in textbooks, or insights provided by corporate websites. With the permission of appropriate personnel at the selected organisation, you may also elect to conduct interviews or surveys with key employees— a process which one would expect to occur in developing such a strategy in a commercial situation.
