Knowledge Management Methodology Part 1

Distance Learning Workshop 3: Knowledge Management Methodology: K-STREAM and Its Core Tools, Part 1

KM Strategies are implemented through 
Policies, Programs, and Projects, using 
techniques and tools. Such implementations 
are done best when they are done systematically. 
This workshop is the first of three focused on

implementing KM Programs and Projects, 
and also its core tools. The Workshop

K-STREAM Overview; K-STREAM Phase 1: 
Strategy/Assessment Phase; Expert Choice: 
A Core KM Tool with Multiple Functions; 
Expert Choice Tool Presentation, High-

Tool; and Discussion on Strategy Assessment 
Phase at your organization.
