Introduction to Knowledge Management Lecture 1

Overview of Knowledge Management

This is the very class of  Introduction To Knowledge Management. We feel glad and great to join the class because Madam Siti Fatimah will be lecturing us again. She is a friendly and heartilyl ecturer. As usual Madam will show us the lecture plan throughout the entire semester and briefly tell us what is KM about. Before she starts the class, she share with us the learning outcomes of Knowledge Management and what are we able to do in the end of lecture. Chapter 1, the Overview of Knowledge Management. Basically, Madam will go though every slide of the chapter and explain to us in details. Soon she starts the class and the first thing we learn is pyramid diagram.

The pyramid diagram.

From the diagram we can see that it distributes into four parts which is Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom. After she describe the pyramid diagram to us, she asks us to draw a flower on a piece of paper. Yes, a flower.

Why does she asks us to draw a flower? 
At first, I have no idea why do we need to draw a flower but then she explain to us it is because she wants to let us know each person's Data, Information and Knowledge are uniquely different with others and we are able to see the differences in a simple drawing. After that we also learn the Types of Knowledge which separates into 2 part, Tacit knowledge and Explicit knowledge.

  Tacit and Explicit.

What I know about them is Tacit knowledge can not be expressed in words, sentences and etc while Explicit Knowledge can be expressed in words, sentences, number and formulas. In the middle of the class, Madam tell us that that will be a trip to Bank Negara on 26/6 which is Wednesday. Attendance is compulsory because it's part of the lecture. Looking forward to the trip. seems amusing.

Madam manages to finish all the 30 slides of Chapter 1 before she ends the class. Class finally ends at roughly around 9.40am to 9.50am. KM seems to be interesting yet not really easy. You have to really understand every thing and work hard on it. End of chapter 1, end of first class.
