Knowledge Usage Analytics
Analyse the use of knowledge assets by, for example, user, search terms, and/or knowledge asset category, to improve knowledge asset management activities.
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.
