Webinar 5.6 NKM School - Knowledge Capture Techniques
This webinar will present the knowledge capture methods that are important for retaining and transferring the tacit knowledge that is critical to a nuclear organization, in terms of safety, performance and business goals. Techniques, such as elicitation interviews, concept mapping, and process modelling will be introduced. The challenges in capturing knowledge from experts will also be discussed.
The webinar is based on the IAEA publication titled “Comparative Analysis of Methods and Tools for Nuclear Knowledge Preservation, IAEA Nuclear Energy Series – NG-T-6.7”.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Learn about knowledge capture methods;
• Understand the use of advanced techniques for tacit knowledge capture;
• Understand the concept of critical knowledge and its importance for knowledge capture;
• Understand knowledge transfer methods;
• Learn about IAEA activities related to knowledge capture.
Webinar 5.5 NKM School - Knowledge Risk Assessment
Formation of nuclear knowledge management programmes in nuclear organizations is essential for making sure that competent human resources are available in all phases of a nuclear facility lifetime.
There is a risk that in the absence of knowledge management programmes, critical knowledge can be lost between different phases if it is not properly codified or transferred in advance, since every phase of a nuclear project may require a different set of competencies.
Other risk factors and knowledge gaps, such as personnel attrition, retirement, and reduced knowledge transfer between generations, can also be significant.
The IAEA recognizes that there is a need to focus on the implementation of a knowledge loss risk management (KLRM) methodology to provide assurance that knowledge preservation and transfer programmes are in place throughout the different phases of a nuclear project.
A KLRM process may include (1) a risk assessment of the knowledge loss focusing on risks associated with employee loss, taking into account factors like attrition, the importance of various positions, knowledge transferability and knowledge codification, (2) developing actions to mitigate identified risks, and (3) monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of KLRM process.
Webinar 5.10 NKM School - NKM Digital Technologies
The webinar aims to support experts in nuclear operating organizations, technical support organizations and government on how to organize, categorize and classify information. The webinar will introduce major international standards related to information collection and preservation.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Understand the key role of the IAEA in managing nuclear information and the main principles & value of the International Nuclear Information System (INIS);
• Describe the main goals of digital preservation and explain the main steps of digital preservation;
• Understand how information preservation techniques are applied to different types of nuclear information.
Webinar 5.3 NKM School - Knowledge Movement through a Nuclear Organization
This webinar will give an overview of the movement of knowledge through an organization and will discuss two types of nuclear knowledge management lifecycles that support this movement – the workforce lifecycle and the organisational lifecycle. The way in which these cycles are interconnected and the ongoing and functional activities that support these cycles will be discussed.
The webinar aims to support experts in nuclear operating organizations, technical support organizations and government, who are responsible for the development, implementation and improvement of the knowledge management programme.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Recognize the importance of knowledge management in the employee lifecycle and how knowledge can be gained, transferred and lost during the cycle;
• Understand practical models of knowledge management;
• Learn how to increase knowledge sharing and how to avoid knowledge loss.
Webinar 5.9 NKM School - Use and Importance of Lessons Learned & Corrective Action Programmes
The webinar will give an overview of the use and importance of lessons learned and corrective action programmes associated with nuclear.
The webinar aims to support experts in nuclear operating organizations, technical support organizations and government, who are responsible for the development, implementation and improvement of knowledge management programmes, on how to use lessons learned from applying knowledge management into nuclear organizations.
During the webinar you will learn why the lessons learned process is a key part of knowledge management, where new knowledge and learning are identified through activity and review, and incorporated into future work
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Use lessons learned to improve NKM implementation;
• Analyse the gaps and deficiencies identified during knowledge management implementation;
• Learn how to record and address the areas for improvement through a corrective action programme.
Webinar 5.2 NKM School - An Integrated Approach to NKM
The webinar will introduce the integrated approach to knowledge management and explain why it provides an important component for human resources in nuclear organizations. The webinar aims to support experts in nuclear operating organizations, technical support organizations and government aiming to establish, implement, maintain, review and improve an effective management system for knowledge management at organizational level.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Recognize the importance and the benefits of knowledge management for nuclear organizations;
• Learn about international good practices in knowledge management;
• Identify the knowledge management roles and responsibilities within an organization
Webinar 5.8 NKM School - Building a Knowledge Sharing Culture
The webinar will give an overview of the role of an organizational culture and the context, barriers and approaches of building a sharing culture.
The webinar aims to support managers in nuclear operating organizations, technical support organizations and government on how to meet business objectives through knowledge sharing.
During the webinar you will learn how a knowledge sharing culture is created that encourages people to work together more effectively, to collaborate and to make organizational knowledge more productive.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
• Understand organizational and sharing cultures;
• Understand the value of a knowledge sharing culture;
• Understand the differences between an individual (social), organizational and technological aspects.
