Improvement Planning

Practices-Outcomes-Metrics (POM)

Representative POMs are described for Knowledge Usage Analytics at each level of maturity.

1Initial
  • Practice
    No practices for evidence of impact of knowledge assets expected at this level.
    Outcome
    The need for definition of business impacts of knowledge assets is understood.
    Metric
    No metrics.
2Basic
  • Practice
    Establish a basic process for measuring the impact of knowledge assets that are used in different parts of the organisation (such as communities, teams, and departments).
    Outcome
    Basic process is established.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming basic process for measuring the impact of knowledge assets is established. # of communities applying basic process for measuring impacts. # of teams applying basic process for measuring impacts. # of departments applying basic process for measuring impacts.
  • Practice
    Ensure some groups capture and communicate success stories of impacts of utilised knowledge assets.
    Outcome
    Success stories are captured and communicated.
    Metric
    # of groups capturing success stories. # of success stories captured. Frequency of communication of captured success stories (# per week).
  • Practice
    Collect evidence of impacts of utilised knowledge assets that is supported with success stories that are captured and communicated by some groups.
    Outcome
    Evidence of impact of knowledge assets is collected.
    Metric
    % evidence of impacts of utilised knowledge assets. % evidence supported with captured success stories.
3Intermediate
  • Practice
    Ensure that a continual process is in place to analyse the actual usage of knowledge assets and the associated impacts.
    Outcome
    Continual process is defined.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming continual process is in place and is applied.
4Advanced
  • Practice
    Ensure that a central team of experts and practitioners provide a defined set of impact categories that can be used widely in parts of the enterprise.
    Outcome
    A defined set of impact categories is provided.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming a central team has provided a defined set of impact categories. # of impact categories defined.
  • Practice
    Ensure that a consistent process for analysing and measuring business value of new and reused knowledge assets using the defined impact categories is in place.
    Outcome
    Consistent process for analysing and measuring business value is in place
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming consistent process for analysing and measuring business value is in place. % level of consistency recorded in analysing and measuring business value.
  • Practice
    Analyse and measure business value of new knowledge assets using the defined impact categories.
    Outcome
    Business value of new knowledge assets is analysed and measured.
    Metric
    % of new knowledge assets analysed and measured. # of defined impact categories applied to new knowledge assets. % recorded business value contributions.
  • Practice
    Analyse and measure business value of reused knowledge assets using the defined impact categories.
    Outcome
    Business value of reused knowledge assets is analysed and measured.
    Metric
    % of reused knowledge assets analysed and measured. # of defined impact categories applied to reused knowledge assets. % recorded business value contributions.
  • Practice
    Develop a list of the groups that are improving reused knowledge assets in order to deliver increased value.
    Outcome
    List of groups is established
    Metric
    # of groups improving reused knowledge assets. % of reused knowledge assets improved. % reused knowledge assets improved. % increase in value from improved reused knowledge assets.
  • Practice
    Improve reused knowledge assets of increased value.
    Outcome
    Reused knowledge assets improved.
    Metric
    % of reused knowledge assets improved. % of improved knowledge assets with evidence of increased value.
  • Practice
    Improve the asset management plan for managing knowledge assets with defined impact categories.
    Outcome
    Enhanced asset management plan with defined impact categories.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming enhanced version asset management plan. # of defined impact categories incorporated in enhanced version asset management plan.
5Optimized
  • Practice
    Define formal mechanisms for communicating value results.
    Outcome
    Formal mechanisms are defined.
    Metric
    # of formal mechanisms, for communicating value results, that are defined.
  • Practice
    Link the organisation's library of categorised impacts of knowledge assets to formal mechanisms for communicating value results.
    Outcome
    Link is achieved.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming library of categorised impacts of knowledge assets is linked to formal mechanisms for communicating value results.
  • Practice
    Track evidence of the value of knowledge assets, in business units, at enterprise level.
    Outcome
    Evidence of value of knowledge assets is tracked.
    Metric
    Frequency of tracking evidence (# tracking rounds per quarter). # of business units providing evidence of value of knowledge assets.
  • Practice
    Establish evidence of the value of knowledge assets tracked in business units.
    Outcome
    Evidence is available.
    Metric
    % positive results of tracked value of knowledge assets. % qualified value of knowledge assets.
  • Practice
    Define best value principles, based on the details of the available knowledge assets.
    Outcome
    Best value principles for knowledge assets are defined.
    Metric
    # of categorised knowledge assets providing input to best value principles. # of best value principles defined.
  • Practice
    Ensure that the asset management plan is closely linked to best value principles for available knowledge assets.
    Outcome
    Asset management plan includes best value principles.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming asset management plan is closely linked to best value principles for available knowledge assets.
