Improvement Planning

Practices-Outcomes-Metrics (POM)

Representative POMs are described for Profiling and Classification at each level of maturity.

1Initial
  • Practice
    No practices for profiling at this level.
    Outcome
    The need to profile the knowledge asset repository is understood.
    Metric
    No metrics.
2Basic
  • Practice
    Develop a business case, at community and department levels, that defines the need for profiling of knowledge assets.
    Outcome
    Development of business case for profiling of knowledge assets.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming business case for profiling of knowledge assets is in place.
  • Practice
    Communicate the business case to KAM practitioners.
    Outcome
    KAM practitioners receive business case for profiling of knowledge assets.
    Metric
    Yes/No indicators confirming communication of business case for profiling of knowledge assets to KAM practitioners.
3Intermediate
  • Practice
    Ensure that the profiling project is approved at an enterprise level, and has an executive sponsor.
    Outcome
