Impactful Methods to Benefit Organizational Knowledge Management and Continuous Improvement Efforts

Presented by Dr. Cynthia J. Young, Founder/CEO of CJ Young Consulting, LLC

In this webinar, you will hear about some of the methods used in practicing knowledge management that also support achieving continuous improvement goals.

Methods we will discuss include:

• Checklists and check sheets
• Reports
• Lessons learned
• After action reviews
• Mapping (Process, Knowledge, and Mind)
• Communities of practice
• Kanban
• Gamification
• Battle rhythms

When you use these methods, you reduce the training required to bring your team up for speed, you can keep costs low because you aren’t having to buy new tools, and it helps your workforce become better problem solvers. This webinar will also be beneficial for ISO 9001-2015 certified organizations since it includes knowledge management, as Clause 7.1.6 Organizational Knowledge and ISO 30401:2018 Knowledge Management Systems, while not a certifiable requirement, is applicable to any organization.
