Authors: Dr. J. K. Suresh and Dr. Kavi Mahesh, Infosys Technologies, India
Published: Chandos Publishing, Oxford, UK
ISBN: 1-84334-130-1
Published: 2006
This book presents a comprehensive set of lessons for the KM practitioner, covering all phases of planning, design, implementation and assessment of knowledge management. A central theme of the book is that for the success of KM in an organization, it is critical to ensure that investments and changes are made with sensibility and economy in each phase of the KM solution. The book explains the reasoning behind each of the lessons and illustrates it with self-contained real-world examples not couched in the idiosyncrasies of an implementation or case study from a particular industry. The book also presents detailed practical guidelines to enable readers to apply the lesson effectively to implement KM in their own organization. From the lessons, KM practitioners can obtain a consistent methodology for implementing KM.
From the Foreword by Dr. Rory Chase:
“... Ten Steps to Maturity in Knowledge Management is not a prescriptive book. Rather, it is a guide to how to secure a meaningful organizational culture based on a foundation of individual and corporate collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Practical experience is critical in writing a book such as Ten Steps to Maturity in Knowledge Management. And, here readers are in extremely capable hands. The authors have helped guide Infosys Technologies to its position as one of the world’s Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE)... Infosys Technologies is the inaugural 2005 overall Indian MAKE Winner, a four-time Asian MAKE Winner, and three-time Global MAKE Winner. Few organizations have such credentials in the area of Knowledge Management.
Ten Steps to Maturity in Knowledge Management is not a book to read and then put on the bookshelf. Rather, it is a book where learnings must be put into action. Suresh and Mahesh show the way, however it is up to the reader to apply the book’s lessons in order to create a real, sustainable knowledge-driven organization.”
