In our discussions this weekend, It was suggested that I sahre the reference I mad about this model in the Wiki...I am doing this.

You can read more about this model at http://www.workingknowledge-csp.com/The_CSP_Model.html .

I developed this model after many years of deleivring Km projects for public and private sector clients.  Planning, developing, and implementing a Knowledge Management framewokr, I found, follows a proven and logical methodology for success..this si the model and approach I have successfully used.  This model helps you to focus on:

• easily stated and easily understood outcomes
• tied to select measures of (KM) success
• tracked to existing strategic initiatives and measures of value.

Each phase focuses on a critical component for success.

1. Knowledge Concepts: Developing a concept for KM in your organization based on your desired outcomes, identification of what is critical and relevant knowledge, the culture of your organization, and an assessment of your KM maturity, your readiness to take on a KM investment.
2. Knowledge Strategy: Understanding the strategic plan of the greater organization of which you are part and the ensuring that the business case for KM investment over the longer term can be made. This includes developing a KM strategic plan that is linked to the overall strategic plan of the organization to ensure that there is funding and resources to sustain the investment. Most importantly, we help you to identify meaningful measure of success that you use not only to measure the progress of your KM program, but also the value (return) it provides to help to ensure continued funding and resource support.
3. Implementing Practices: Your KM implementation should be based on your unique environment and desired outcomes…what makes sense in your context. Previous insight gained from Phase 1 and Phase 2 provides the necessary baseline to develop a framework that fits your organization and its unique goals and desired outcomes.
