knowledge management

November 18, 2010 Leave a comment

This post was summarise knowledge management chapter on introduction to helpdek concepts and skills book by sudan sanderson published by mcgraw-hill technology education. Rarely I found a good text book regarding knowledge management, this book was a good start to know a dept of knowledge management.

When staff member the company, their knwledge and experience leave with them. Finding and hiring new staff required much effort and time, but this can be reduce by efficient knowledge management. Its benefits are shared expertise, reduced training time, reusable solution, enriched job content, personal empowerment, and continuous improvement.

An effective knowledge management should be easy to use, simple to maintain, relevant, and accesible by users.

Knowledge management has two methodology:
– reactive
Building knowledge after problem resolved, known also as solution centered support or knowledge centered support
– proactive
Building knowledge before it is needed. Forecasting potential problem and solution needed for this methodology.

There are two types of knowledge in knowledge based support:
– explicit knowledge
Data, facts, and documents. Easy to be transmitted
– tacit knowledge
Perception, insight, experience. Difficult to be transmitted

Solution in the knowledge base should comprised of four elements,i.e situation, analysis, information, and resolution. Process for capturing relevant knowledge consist of four steps,i.e capture, structure, review, release and maintain.

Once knowledge has been captured, structured, reviewed, and released it becomes knowledge based. There are many methods for searchong this knowledge based, they are keyword search engine, natural language processing, expert system, and decision tree.

Finally, when a knowledge management system is implemented, it is necessary to add new metrics and revaluate it for performance.

Refleksi Seorang Guru

November 24, 2009 Leave a comment

Dalam satu seminar Guru yang saya ikuti, ditampilkan satu slide film mengenai seorang Guru yang mengajar di pedalaman tanpa dibayar sepeserpun dan seringkali Guru tersebut mengeluarkan uang pribadi untuk kepentingan anak muridnya. Bahkan ditampilan ruangan kelas yang masih berbau tanah dan ayam pun ikut berada di kelas dengan kursi yang lapuk. ( Mungkin bisa diusulkan untuk ikut bedah rumah RCTI ).

Pribadi, saya mengacungkan apresiasi yang setinggi-tingginya terhadap pengabdian Guru tersebut, akan tetapi di sisi lain saya sebagai seorang Guru juga berontak ?

Pemberontakan saya terletak pada profesi Guru yang sering dipandang dengan sebelah Mata. Guru adalah profesi prestisius yang sama seperti profesi yang lain, i.e insinyur, dokter, pengacara, dll. Guru bekerja secara professional dan mendapatkan penghasilan yang dapat mencukupi kebutuhan hidup keluarganya. Bagaimana mungkin seorang Guru mengajar anak murid tanpa bayaran sedangkan di rumah sudah menunggu kebutuhan istri dan anak  untuk membeli susu dan beras ?

Guru di awal cerita ini bukanlah Guru melainkan Misionaris yang bekerja dan mengabdi tanpa mengharapkan balas uang atau jasa. Guru yang sebenarnya adalah sama dengan profesi lain dengan tuntutan profesionalisme dan juga balas uang atau jasa yang sepadan dengan kompetensinya.

Adalah salah satu pandangan lama ketika Guru dianggap sebagai pahlawan tanpa tanda jasa dengan dimunculkannya lagu “Terpujilah Wahai Engkau..Ibu Bapak Guru ..( Hymne Guru )”. Kelirumorologi ( pinjam istilah bos Jamu Jaya Suprana ) mungkin istilah yang tepat untuk pandangan ini. Guru adalah Pahlawan dengan Jasa yang harus dibalas budi dengan penghasilan yang dapat mencukupi kebutuhan hidup keluarganya.

Sudah saatnya profesi Guru dipandang dengan Dua Mata dimana Guru ditempatkan dalam satu profesi prestisius sama dengan yang lain dengan tuntutan profesionalisme dan kompetensi yang tinggi.
