5. Types of Knowledge: Tacit
Knowledge that people carry in their heads.
This knowledge is often difficult to share because the people who possess it do not often access it to communicate it.
This knowledge often provides context for ideas, experiences, people, and places and is not easily captured.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

6. Types of Knowledge: Explicit
Structured – Data elements that are organized in a particular way for future retrieval, e.g. documents, databases, and spreadsheets
Unstructured – Information not referenced for retrieval, e.g. s, images, audio or video selections

7. Knowledge Management

8. Knowledge translation
Knowledge translation (KT) is a relatively new term coined by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in CIHR defined KT as "the exchange, synthesis and ethically-sound application of knowledge—within a complex system of interactions among researchers and users—to accelerate the capture of the benefits of research for Canadians through improved health, more effective services and products, and a strengthened health care system"

9. The World Health Organization (WHO) (2005) also adapted the CIHR’s definition and defined KT as "the synthesis, exchange, and application of knowledge by relevant stakeholders to accelerate the benefits of global and local innovation in strengthening health systems and improving people’s health."

10. Knowledge Mobilization
Knowledge mobilization involves making knowledge readily accessible – and thereby useful to any number of individuals and groups in society – by developing ways in which groups can work together collaboratively to produce and share knowledge

11. Knowledge Transfer
The process of sharing tacit knowledge or facilitating the learning of explicit knowledge between one person and another.
The knowledge must both be learned and be useable in a relevant context; if both conditions do not exist, the knowledge has not been transferred.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

12. KT evidence-based healthcare
Knowledge transfer (KT) is the bridge between evidence-based research and the use of that research by those responsible for health care policy and decision making.
The World Health Organization describes knowledge transfer as a mechanism to close the ”know-do” gap – the gap between what is known and what is done.
“The processes from knowledge generation to action are complex, and influenced by factors including stakeholder involvement, local context, perceived relevance, and the knowledge itself.
Effective knowledge transfer entails an ongoing exchange between research producers and research users, often by means of traditional communications activities.

13. Knowledge Transfer Process
Determine what knowledge must be transferred.
Be able to articulate why the knowledge must be transferred.
Determine to whom the knowledge is to be transferred.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

14. Knowledge Transfer Process
Determine how the knowledge will be transferred.
Transfer the knowledge.
Assess knowledge transfer by observing its recall and use.

15. Knowledge Transfer Tip #1
Managers may already have some knowledge transfer methods in place associated with other processes. [Such as journal clubs ]
Consider using those methods as the foundation for a knowledge transfer plan.

18. Process Documentation

19. Identification of Best Practices
Best practices are relevant processes or systems to perform work that have had measurable success and effectiveness and are likely transferable. They may be discovered within or outside the organization.
Best practices are determined in a variety of ways: through meetings of similar functional groups; polling employees; internal or external surveys.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

20. Communities of Practice
A community of practice is a group that forms and functions together to share information and knowledge about a common area of interest, issue, or topic.
[i.e. Social Networking, Blog, Wiki, forums]

21. Job Shadowing
A less-experienced performer pairs with a veteran performer on-job to facilitate knowledge transfer.
[i.e. Medical internship
Paramedical internship
Ward round ]

22. Critical Incident Review
A critical incident is an identifiable event that results in either a very negative or a very positive impact on a process, deliverable or relationship.
An individual, work team, task force or project team conducts the review to determine root causes and capture best practice or determine remedies.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

23. Story Telling
A narrative description of what happened in a situation or over a period of time. [i.e. Narrative medicine, user driven healthcare]
This is one of the most effective ways of transferring knowledge—indeed wisdom—from one person to another.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

24. Document Repositories
A collection of textual resources that can be retrieved, viewed and interpreted.
Document repositories add navigation and categorization to the information stored. [i.e. repository of diseases , medications, procedures, guidelines]
20 September 2018

25. Teaching to Teachers
Holding workshop to transfer your own tacit knowledge to other teachers , why not. You know a better way to analyze , synthesize data, to manage classroom, you have your special techniques to organize a research proposal, a book, increase visibility of the research outcomes, information and …so on! Make it popular
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

26. Structured On The Job Training
Knowledge Transfer takes place on the actual job site with task accomplishment as a part of the process. [i.e. assisting professionals, journal editorials, teachers, web designers…]
Involves learning skills and applying knowledge hands-on and on-job following or as a part of a defined structured learning process.
20 September 2018
Gavgani Vahideh Z.

27. Knowledge Transfer Tip #2
Formalize (document, test and monitor) existing processes.
Test the plan to ensure the knowledge is successfully and effectively transferred.
Monitoring ensures that the Knowledge Transfer Plan is effective and appropriate to the work.

44. 10 widely used knowledge transfer methods in large companies
Coaching: Combines mentoring, shadowing and observation to assess learner competency gaps, and guide development with timely performance feedback. 
Knowledge Elicitation: Interview-based approach with expert to articulate big picture, mental models and detailed "how to" and "when to" guidance. This was the main approach of KM a few years back. We talked about "knowledge books" at that time, whereas we are more into storytelling approaches today.
Group Intervention Methods: Synchronous collaboration methods designed for large groups with a specific outcome in mind. A good example is the Peer Assist of BP:  Experts share experiences and knowledge in a facilitated meeting with a person or team who is looking for advice on a challenge, problem or project. Other similar group collaboration methods are used when the issue is about creating or sharing knowledge e.g. Brainstorming, Open Space, Knowledge Marketplace
Codification / Publication: Process of codifying knowledge to make it available to a wider audience, typically with little intermediation. This can take the form of blog posts, scientific publications, books, software code.
Bookmarking / Library Management: Experts categorize and tag their database of digitized content, and add glossaries and thesauri, to make it easier for others to search and navigate into for future reuse.
Teaching/Master Class: Presentation of fundamental and operational knowledge; review and discussion of a learner's specific problem or results in a group. (typically performed in corporate universities)
Community of Practice: Groups of practitioners in a discipline that connect to seek/share experiences, develop/adopt practices or tools and develop/support a learning agenda.
Technical Mentoring: Interaction between expert and learner to help the learner do a job more effectively and/or to progress in their career.
Job Shadowing / Apprenticeship: Opportunities for a learner to observe the expert interacting with others or doing more complex work. 
Guided Experience / Development Assignments: Carefully selected projects or work assignments that fill gaps in experience or broaden/deepen targeted skills.  "Guided" includes expert observation and feedback. Typically research projects like case studies, lessons learned, documentaries etc.
