...ADKAR: Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement making the change An overview of Prosci's ADKAR Model Prosci's ADKAR® Model is one of the most widely-requested and sought after models for change management. It is a simple but extraordinarily powerful model to help drive successful change in one's personal or professional life. Many attendees of Prosci's 3-day certification program call it "ADKAR training" - even though the majority of the program focuses on the organizational change management process - because ADKAR is what they remember and begin applying immediately. The first tutorial in this series provided five reasonswhy ADKAR "clicks" for change management practitioners. The second tutorial provided an overview of the first two building blocks -Awareness and Desire. This tutorial presents an in-depth discussion of the last three building blocks - Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement. Introduction Prosci's ADKAR Model is an individual change management model. It outlines the five building blocks of successful change, whether that change occurs at home, in the community or at work. The name "ADKAR" is an acronym based on the five building blocks: * A Awareness of the need for change * D Desire to participate and support the change * K Knowledge on how to change * A Ability to implement required skills and behaviors * R Reinforcement to sustain the change The final three building blocks of Prosci's ADKAR Model are Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement...

The entertainment industry seems to have created the ultimate formula for the "bad manager" character, so why can't real managers understand how to be effective? When employees choose to leave a position, it's often because of their manager or relationships with people in their working environment. People quit people, not jobs. Management is a Process. It includes four main functions, viz., Planning, Organising, Directing and Controlling. The manager has to Plan and Organise all the activities. He had to give proper Directions to his subordinates. He also has to Control all the activities. The manager has to perform these functions continuously. Therefore, management is a continuous and never ending process. For an effective manager...

...MANAGING FOR THE LONG TERM | BEST OF HBR | November–December 1991 The Knowledge-Creating Company by Ikujiro Nonaka Editor’s Note: This 1991 article helped popularize the notion of “tacit” knowledge – the valuable and highly subjective insights and intuitions that are difficult to capture and share because people carry them in their heads. Years later, the piece can still startle a reader with its views of organizations and of the types of knowledge that inform them. For example, the advice on how to distill objective and transferable, or “explicit,” knowledge from tacit knowledge – with a vivid illustration of Matsushita Electric’s efforts to build a better bread-making machine – is both arresting and actionable. The next step: ensuring that explicit knowledge is translated back into tacit knowledge that will then go on to yield yet another innovative solution. 162 Harvard Business Review 1284 Nonaka.indd 162 | July–August 2007 I the one sure source of lasting competitive advantage is knowledge. When markets shift, technologies proliferate, competitors multiply, and products become obsolete almost overnight, successful companies are those that consistently create new knowledge, disseminate it widely throughout the organization, and quickly embody it in new technologies and products. These activities define the “knowledge-creating” company, whose sole business is continuous innovation. And yet, despite all the talk about “brainpower”...

For example: Even though the lead plaintiff starts the case and hires the attorneys, she doesn't have to pay attorney's fees or legal expenses. A lead plaintiff usually works very closely with the attorneys handling the case and participates a great deal in the court process. Only the lead plaintiff can agree to or reject a settlement offer. If he or she wins or the case is settled, the lead plaintiff is paid first after the attorneys get their fees and expenses.

I went through the General Studies program upon realizing that it would be better for me to rekindle my knowledge on liberal arts and science before pursuing a University of Phoenix program. As a woman, I know the value of competitive and in-depth learning especially at this period of globalization and economic uncertainties. Before entering the UOP, I was anxious on how to go by with the fast changing world and how to render an eclectic mix of marketing, business and ethics into working with patients with diverse needs and demands and demographics. At this period of uncertainty, it is highly recommended that I build first a foundation of knowledge concerning the art of doing business in the 21st century before entering UOP. I am a Patient Representative in the emergency room that is why education really plays a crucial role in my life not just for the improvement of my business but also for the betterment of my personal and career life. Personal growth and development have a tremendous impact on my career, daily life, relationships and work. This is why the role of learning should be given a high regard because it...

Smith & Associates Presented at American University Intercultural Management Institute Annual Conference – Best Practices and New Directions in Intercultural Relations: A Forum for Business, Education, and Training Professionals. Washington, DC, 16 March, 2006. http://www.imi.american.edu/conf2006.htm In the fast-paced world of today, organizations must take full advantage of the collective knowledge of their people. This demands the creation of a new work environment in which communities of practice can share knowledge and work together to solve problems, to learn, to invent new methods, and overcome physical barriers of time and distance. In this session, we first discuss our experiences with transnational organizations, where cultural diversity leads not only to more difficult knowledge-sharing challenges, but also to greater opportunities for success. This is followed by an interactive workshop where the participants consider how to apply the lessons learned to their own business, non-profit, multilateral institution, and government settings. Culture: the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes a company or corporation; the attitudes and behavior that are characteristic of a particular social group or organization.

...interviewer will want specific examples of when and how you demonstrated particular behaviours. Prior to interview each position is assessed for the skills/competencies and characteristics that relate to job success. Interview questions are then developed to probe into these areas. All candidates are asked the same questions and notes are taken in order to evaluate candidates. The word competency is widely used in business and personnel psychology and refers to the behaviours that are necessary to achieve the objectives of an organisation. A competency is also something you can measure and lists of competencies form a common language for describing how people perform in different situations. Every job can be described in terms of key competencies. This means that they can be used for all forms of assessment, including appraisals, training needs analysis and of course, selection. • Individual competencies – your personal attributes: Flexibility, decisiveness, tenacity, independence, risk taking, personal integrity • Managerial competencies – taking charge of other people: Leadership, empowerment, strategic planning, corporate sensitivity, project management, management control • Analytical competencies – the elements of decision making: Innovation, analytical skills, numerical problem solving, problem solving, practical learning, detail consciousness • Interpersonal competencies – dealing with other people: Communication, impact, persuasiveness, personal awareness, teamwork, openness • Motivational...

...Journal of Knowledge Management Practice, December 2002 Socialising Knowledge Management: The Influence of The Opinion Leader Cheng MingYu, Multimedia University, Malaysia ABSTRACT: This paper looks at knowledge management and the importance of knowledge management in today’s organisations. Even though knowledge management has gained its popularity recently due to the drastic changes in business ecology, there is still confusion on how to implement the knowledge management strategy successfully. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate and suggest possible ways to communicate the concept of knowledge management more effectively so that the knowledge management concept could be implemented more successfully. The communication of knowledge management concept is done through knowledge management socialisation process and it is suggested that the socialisation process be carried out by the so called “opinion leader” who is presumably to be a more knowledgeable person and be able to influence others in changing their perception and behaviour. Introduction Today organisations are fundamentally different as compared to organisations existed in one or two decades ago in terms of their functions, structures and style of management.

...emergence of the importance of the knowledge worker in today’s economy. It is critical for managers to not only recognize the importance of top talent but also the need to leverage human capital in order to innovate and, in the end, to develop products and services that create value. This chapter is divided into four sections. 1. The first section focuses on the increasing role of knowledge as the primary means of wealth generation in today’s economy. After all, in the New Economy a firm’s value is based much more on knowledge, know-how, and intellectual assets — not the traditional factors of production (i.e., labor and capital). 2. The second section addresses the key resource itself — human capital — the foundation for the creation of intellectual capital. We explore ways in which the organization can attract, develop, and retain human capital as well as the importance of recognizing the interdependence of these three activities. We also address the value of a diverse work force. 3. Third, we discuss the critical role of social capital, that is, the network of relationships among individuals. We address both social capital within organizations as well as across organizations. 4. The final section focuses on the role of technology in leveraging human capital. This can range from such basic technologies as email to more complex forms such as sophisticated knowledge management systems. We also discuss how technology can play a key role...
