A number of ambitious and potentially on-going projects that promise to have
a far reaching impact on the functioning (and, by implication, the world
standing and ranking) of the Institute are being planned. In order to be
able to implement these, a clear division of labour is required.
Accordingly, it is recommended that NCSI hire personnel with the following
designation and responsibilities:
[The US navy has identified knowledge management (KM) as a distinct
career path for civilian staff and has the following job titles and
descriptions. These may be replicated in NCSI as they are applicable
across all public sector agencies considering adopting a knowledge
management initiative]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Chief Knowledge Officer(CKO):
Manages the knowledge sharing process at the command level; leads
efforts to move the organisation to knowledge centricity; requires
a dedication to KM principles, the ability to discuss the benefits
of knowledge sharing, and the vision to ensure that KM initiatives
are adopted by the organization.. fosters cultural change, defines
roles, skill sets and opportunities for knowledge workers and
facilitates training and education of knowledge workers.
2. Knowledge Manager(KM) : Working with the CKO to implement KM
initiatives, manages KM efforts. Looking across KM processes to
capture tacit and explicit knowledge and often involves balancing
technology, information, processes, and individual and organizational
learning within a culture of shared values.
3. Knowledge System Engineer (KSE): This involves turning KM ideas
into workable solutions by engineering appropriate knowledge-sharing
Internet/Intranet sites, rules-based systems, portals, databases, etc.
Requires intimate knowledge of the systems, architectures,
technologies, standards and protocols for KM.
4. Knowledge Process Manager(KPM): This position involves focusing
on the organizational processes of KM and content integration;
manages the efforts of the knowledge transfer engineer, knowledge
research engineer and knowledge life-cycle engineer. Develops process
models for optimal organizational effectiveness.
5. Knowledge Transfer Engineer (KTE): Involves capturing and codifying
tacit knowledge, making it available for reuse. Connects people to
enable the transfer of tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge.
6. Knowledge Research Engineer(KRE): Involves making explicit knowledge
from available resources and integrating content in KM systems into
easily accessible knowledge for decision makers.
7. Knowledge Life-Cycle Engineer (KLE): Ensures information for knowledge
systems is current, appropriate and changed as needed; handles
information creation and disposal for the organization.
8. Knowledge Community Leader (KCL): Facilitates the operation of
communities of practice across organizations to foster innovation,
improved performance and collaboration.
9. Intellectual Capital Manager (ICM): Develops the workforce and ensures
the human capital aspects of knowledge management are fully integrated.
The ICM uses KM to increase the performance and the learning of the
organization and identifies gaps in KM competencies.
10. Performance Measurement Engineer (PME): Focuses on measuring and
assessing the knowledge-centric organization model implementation
and architecture. The PME performs analysis, develops predictive
models,shows the potential impact of change, and provides implications
for validation of the knowledge-centric organization model.
11. Knowledge Assurance Manager (KAM): Ensures the assimilation of
information and knowledge is protected from unauthorized access and/or
disclosure.
