The knowledge management plan can be focused on the student's own organization or a selected case study firm (with approval of the lecturer). The intent of the plan is to develop recommended interventions for the organisation, aimed at improving the organisations performance through more effective knowledge management. The target audience for the plan is the CEO and the executive leadership team of the organisation.
The assessment will be based on:
- The thoroughness of the analysis and synthesis of the organizational issues in developing the planned interventions.
- The quality of the arguments supporting the recommended interventions
- The recommended methods for implementing and sustaining the organisational changes that might accompany the knowledge management interventions
The knowledge management plan should be a minimum of 3,000 words and no more than 5,000 words.
Please note that unlike a typical business report, the expectation is that this report should have elements of academic writing i.e. you are expected to acknowledge by referencing, the sources supporting your arguments.
