This document discusses leveraging NGO resources through knowledge management. It covers how knowledge structures relate to social, business, and technology structures. It defines knowledge management and knowledge work, and outlines a knowledge infrastructure including people, content, tools, processes, and governance. The document then discusses how knowledge management relates to knowledge assets, sharing, collaboration, resources, and stakeholders. It provides examples of understanding, managing, and storing content, as well as retrieving and sharing explicit and collaborative content. The document concludes with the main messages that managing knowledge assets leverages an NGO's capacity, social interaction includes sharing, collaboration, negotiation and competition, and knowledge work involves both technical and social aspects.

- This presentation is divided into three parts. We’ll start by describing why and how the knowledge services framework was developed. The knowledge organization will compare content management and knowledge service approaches for structuring knowledge management in an organizational context. The knowledge environment will consider how an organization interacts with its clients and, in the case of governments, with all citizens. So, let’s look at how the framework was developed.
- This is an organizational infrastructure that includes pretty much everything that is needed to run CSS. This applies to KM as well as anything else that we do. Simply put, people use tools and process within a governance structure to increase the value of content and services. It isn’t a matter of focussing on one or more parts of the infrastructure. All parts must be reflected in a task, project, or program if it is to succeed.
- Today, storing knowledge depends more on technology than space (although physical collections will not disappear in the foreseeable future). List the elements. It’s important to understand that although technology is necessary, it is only one aspect of knowledge preservation.
- Similarly, accessing archived knowledge requires a set of user-friendly tools. Summarize the list. I cannot overemphasize the importance of user-friendliness (initially) and user-centricity (eventually) for retrieving knowledge if the CFIA wants people to actually use the system.

- This presentation provides an overview of how data, information, and knowledge, which I collectively call “content,” flows from its point of origin to its end use. It also describes relationships between the attributes of that content, how it is processed, and how it is used.
