Workshop Design |
KMPro's
CKM® |
"Other"
|
| Designed
by a KM expert with more than 16 years KM expertise. CKM® certification workshop has
existed since 1995 (created by Dr. Dan Kirsch, predating other “certifications” workshops). This ensures that content is mature, insightful and best
practice for KM implementation. The CKM® certification workshop is ONLY available through KMPro! |
|
|
| Designed
by a Ph.D. in Management (directly related to KM discipline). Ensures
that workshop content is in fact based upon sound management theory,
taking into consideration what is necessary to successfully implement
KM. |
|
|
| Designed
by someone KMPro CKM Instructor ® qualified. A KMPro CKM Instructor ® qualified individual is
someone who has earned the only instructor certification designation
applicable to CKM® certification. This qualification ensures
that the instructor for your certification workshop is qualified
to instruct the CKM® curriculum. |
|
(2) |
| Designed
by recognized authority on strategic planning, performance metrics,
systems theory, strategic thinking. This ensures that the content
is based upon advanced management theory and its application to KM. |
|
|
| Designed
by experienced Training & Development professional with more than
25 years experience and is based upon solid instructional design concepts
and applications. This ensures that the course curriculum best supports
the training needs of those desiring to learn KM implementation. Training
curriculum design is a complex process and best left to Training &
Development professionals. Our workshop is designed to meet “Kirkpatrick Model” Level 3 and Level 4 evaluation criteria (vs. other workshops that
only support Level 1 evaluation criteria). That means that based on actual assessments of those attending our CKM® certification training that after attending they had significant gains in their understanding of Knowledge Management (see assessment results). |
|
|
| Curriculum
is constructed to match learning objectives to course content to ensure
that workshop actually focuses upon what is needed to properly implement
KM in an organization. This ensures that what should be learned is
in fact covered, unlike some workshops where there is no real structured
approach to the training process. Learning objectives are critical
to successful training. |
|
|
| Curriculum
greatly exceeds outdated government KM learning objectives. Some workshops
claim to meet or exceed a "government standard" but what
they don't mention is that there is no such standard, and what was
developed at one time was preliminary at best and has long since been
outpaced by best practice KM learning objectives. |
|
|
Workshop
designed to best support adult experiential learning. Training &
Development professionals understand the requirements and needs of
adult learners. Curriculum that supports experiential learning is
the accepted standard for adult professionals.

Cost Comparison |
KMPro's
CKM® |
"Other" |
| Provides
the most cost effective workshop based on cost comparisons of listed
or disclosed prices conducted thru 12/2008. Why are some workshops priced significantly
more expensively? Most likely because that's the cost that best meets
their financial objectives. We believe that our price is fair for
a high quality professional certification program. Others use vague
generalities to try to somehow justify their inflated costs (and the
salaries of their commissioned sales personnel). |
$2,450 List Price |
$4,000 List Price |
| Extensive
eLearning (160 hours) Add-on available for $500. This is a true eLearning
program, with online modules, quiz's, exercises, exams vs. other "eLearning"
which is little more than emailed Powerpoint slides. |
