"Undoubtedly one of the best books available for anyone undertaking to do something interesting and useful with knowledge in their organization." —Larry Prusak, KM guru and author

When a firm’s Knowledge Management program isn't aligned with organizational strategy, its success can be no more than a happy accident—if it succeeds at all.

In this practical, step-by-step guide to crafting an effective Knowledge Management strategy, Stephanie Barnes and I prepare Knowledge Management professionals to:

• Connect KM strategy to business strategy 
• Identify the business drivers KM will support 
• Survey your strategic knowledge areas 
• Define your program scope and vision 
• Obtain stakeholder input and buy-in 
• Select pilots that kick-start successful rollouts 
• Apply change management principles 
• Build a sound KM framework 
• Manage content and technology 
• Assemble and lead effective KM teams 

Whether you are looking to reinvigorate your current Knowledge Management program or build an effective program from the ground up, Designing a Successful KM Strategy is the comprehensive, no-nonsense guide that will help you get it right.

Designing a Successful KM Strategy will be launched at KM World, and Stephanie will be present in the morning of November 4th to host a workshop and book signing.
