High Impact Knowledge Management

 

 High Impact Knowledge Management is based on getting results, rapidly.  Most organizations spend their time putting in place heavy-duty training programs for which the pay-off never seems to come.  This is because the training is not linked into daily practice.  Operational People know that it is better to have one or two simple tools that work than a whole bookshelf of training courses that gather dust.    The whole idea of High Impact is, first of all, to get together a team which has a serious desire to capture the value of what it produces or a major opportunity to seize.  Then, a skilled consultant analyzes their needs from a "knowledge economy" perspective and shows the team or Knowledge Managet a set of simple tools which they implement at the same time as they begin to produce results.  These tools will allow them to come up with answers to the problem by themselves.  In 2009 one of John Gaynard's clients, a subsidiary of a French multinational corporation, won a major innovation trophy for the Knowledge Management system he had helped them to put in place.  Here is the citation that accompanied the award. Multiple Benefits.  In just one year, the three key areas for work have produced convincing results.  They have led to the emergence of a community of outsourced management practices and seven best practice exchanges bringing together 66 participants.  This has made it possible to set up (a propriety Wiki).  This tool is designed for capitalising on knowledge and 83 accounts have been opened out of a total of 200 participating staff.  A toolbox has been created to meet tendering requirements.  Training and human resources videos have been produced at the Special Operations workshops.  These videos will be used to support relevant training themes.  KM has promoted the use of new technologies, including Visio, Webex, Video, Wiki.  The creation of a global knowledge sharing project should be added to all of these benefits.  The success of these work vectors is leading to the creation of other exchange projects at national level.  New spaces have been opened on the Wiki and new communities of practice are forming.  With the KM project (this subsidiary) of the company is once again proving its capacity to innovate, as well as appropriating a global management concept, developing it based on needs and turning it in to a key advantage for its clients and staff.
carreHigh Impact Knowledge Management  is the opposite of traditional consulting, where a heavy-duty consulting company will send in 3 senior partners to do the analysis and then either present you with a plan which it is nearly impossible to implement by yourself or a plan which will necessitate hiring 50 or 100 of the consulting company's juniors.

carreHigh Impact Knowledge Management is designed to let your people understand the simple philosophy and the tools behind it.  Syre Consultants will work with your people in the beginning and then step aside with pride as your own people become skilled and resourceful facilitators capable of getting results when faced with any challenge.  The General Electric Corporation has taken the High Impact approach very far indeed, with the concept of Black Belts teaching Six Sigma, however we can show you some of the intermediate steps, and show you how to pick some of the low hanging fruit in your organization without incurring high costs. 

carreAn important part of High Impact Knowledge Management is the concept of focus, in both innovation and cost reduction.  

carreHigh Impact Systematic Innovation : If a company or a team wishes to find new sources of innovation, a Syre Consultant can get them together for a couple of days and explain the sources of innovation while at one and the same time creating a climate in which the team will make use of its own knowledge to bring to light possible innovations.  As Peter Drucker has often pointed out it is the simple, well-understood innovation (fulfilling a known process or client need) that works the best.

carreHigh Impact Cost Reduction : Say a company wants to reduce its costs by 20%.  A high impact consultant would help the team zero in on a quick win where it can have the most impact in the shortest time.  Every quick win generates confidence for the team in its own ability.  Once the motivation and the energy are in place, the team will find means of its own to attain its objectives and will tackle more and more challenging tasks.   Cost reduction is often necessary in order to free up human and monetary resources to put in place new innovations.
