Assess the current knowledge system by KM requirement

21-Jan-06

I'm a knowledge base officer in a medium-sized law firm in Hong Kong. We have quite advanced techonology which supports us to be a paperless law firm. All files have a soft copy and you can read in computer. My question is how to assess the current knowledge system by KM requirements?

Sylvia,

I suggest you look at my blog, "excited utterances: more than just an exception to the hearsay rule" at http://www.excitedutterances.blogspot.com

I've been chronicling the world of legal knowledge management since May 2002, so consider "excited utterances" as your one-stop, archived resource of all things "legal KM".

Legal knowledge base

Sylvia,

What you have now is the document store. Your knowledge base should include information such as:
a) Legislature down to the clause level,
b) Case analysis and summaries
c) Opinions, and
d) Court orders.

All the above information should be cross-reference such that when you look at any piece of information, you can see all related information. For example, if you are looking at an opinion, you want to see all legislature, cases, other opinions and court orders referenced. You will also want to see other opinions that reference this opinion.

In addition to the above, you may want a classification system to groups your cases and opinons.

This is part of the three tier KM system that I have proposed in my paper "Knowledge management for performance" available on our web site.

Hope the above is useful.

Regards,
