Overview of the Presentation
  • Knowledge Management
  • Nuclear Safety in PAEC establishments
  • Knowledge Management at PAEC
  • Conclusions

3
What is Knowledge Management (KM)
  • The term Knowledge Management is used to
    articulate the concept that knowledge is an
    asset on a par with the tangible assets of any
    organization such as land, capital, plant,
    machinery etc.
  • Knowledge Management is an effort to capture not
    only explicit factual information but also the
    tacit information and knowledge that exists in an
    organization, usually based on the experience and
    learning of individual employees, in order to
    advance the organization's mission.

4
Major uses  of Knowledge Management (KM)
  • Knowledge Management is mainly used
  • To share  knowledge among members of the
    organization.
  • To facilitate the transparent flow, easy
    exchange/recall of information.
  • For decision support decision making.
  • To sense, share, and respond to the signals
    coming from the environment.
  • To capture ideas and turn them into actions. 
  • To be utilized as knowledge repositories for
    tacit knowledge and for best practices
    databases.

5
Knowledge Management (KM) ProjectSuccess
Indicators 
  • A knowledge-oriented culture
  • Professional organizational infrastructure
  • Senior management support
  • A link to economics or industry value
  • A modicum of process information
  • Clarity of vision and language
  • Non-trivial motivational aids
  • Some level of knowledge structure
  • Multiple channels of knowledge transfer

6
Key Instruments for Knowledge Management
  • KM is interpreted and evaluated to store
    knowledge, a model of the structure and function
    of knowledge is necessary.
  • This model is then converted into an information
    model and onto a data model.
  • The data model then helps to build a data base of
    documents comprising the knowledge of an
    organization or a group of individuals.
  • A knowledge base is built to systematically
    organize and store the data.
  • Data is then processed into information, and
    information interpreted as knowledge

Need for Knowledge Management
  • Considering the importance of the subject, the
    requirement of Knowledge Management is being
    recognized world wide and efforts are made to
    promote the Management of Knowledge by using
    various techniques and tools in the
    organizations.
  • The need is recognized in such a fashion that
    80 of the Fortune 500 companies have Knowledge
    Management Teams. In the public sector the US
    government has appointed Chief Knowledge
    Management Officer.
