Whenever we get asked what the difference is between the KMPro Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM) certification workshop and any other KM training that might be available our answer is always that there is NO other KM training -- anywhere -- similar to the KMPro CKM. The KMPro CKM certification workshop is unique.
What makes the KMPro CKM different than any other KM training? The answer is simple: Strategic Knowledge Management. And when you're faced with making a decision in choosing one KM training program over another, it's important to understand that difference and how it will impact your ability to successfully implement KM in your organization.
Strategic Knowledge Management is all about how to effectively link your organization's KM efforts to the big picture. To have a connection to the organizational strategy. It is well established that a significant percentage of KM implementation
efforts fail due to a lack of effective KM strategy.
At the end of the day, it's all about successful Knowledge Management implementation. Those organizations that succeed are best able to use their KM Strategy to effectively translate that organizational knowledge into, for example, innovation that provides a competitive advantage. To ensure that the right knowledge is available at the right time and right place to allow the organization to make effective decisions.
The KMPro Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM) workshop presents a Strategic Knowledge Management approach to knowledge management implementation which is based upon a Strategic Management framework, blending the concepts, theories and best practice applications of strategic planning, systems theory, strategic thinking, and performance measurement to create and support effective knowledge management implementation strategies. It is known that a significant percentage of KM implementation efforts fail due to a lack of effective strategy, and the intent of this workshop is to address those critical issues and then present how best practice organizations use this approach to:
|
| |
 |
Create, transfer and utilize organizational knowledge and intellectual capital; |
| |
|
Manage creation, accumulation and flow of knowledge and intellectual capital to develop and sustain competitive advantage and provide desired "Knowledge Value-Added" gains through identification of organizational knowledge gaps; |
| |
|
Understand the concepts, principles and actions necessary to implement a strategy-based approach to KM to close organizational knowledge gaps, and to ensure that necessary knowledge is available where and when it needs to be utilized. |
|
| We feel strongly that any KM training program -- to be worth
the cost paid -- needs to be able to clearly link the training
learning objectives to actual task performance. With our program you
invest your time wisely by learning what you need to
know and understand about KM implementation from a practical,
hands-on approach that ties KM to the “big picture” of your organization. Our curriculum is lively, engaging, up-to-date, and
taught by a KM professional with more actual KM expertise and experience
than can be found elsewhere.

Benefits of
Our Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM) Certification Training
|
KMPro's CKM certification training is demonstrated to provide you what you need to succeed in your KM implementation.
What do we mean by demonstrated? We mean that based on actual
assessments of those attending the KMPro CKM certification
training, that after attending they had significant measured gains in their
understanding of Knowledge Management, KM Implementation, KM Strategy & Metrics, and also in their own ability to make KM decisions:
|

Assessment was made of participant's knowledge in these areas prior to training and then compared to participant's knowledge after training.
|
|
|
And those measured gains aren't just for those who are attending KM training or even KM certification for the first time. Those gains were also seen for those who had PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED OTHER KM TRAINING!
Our KMPro CKM graduates have a track record of successful KM implementation -- the bottom line is that the KMPro CKM certification training has been proven to provide significant positive benefit to those who have attended.
