Do you see your KM program as a key partner in your strategy to deal with the chaos of Coronavirus or just an extra, a nice to have, a luxury, and not a serious component of your business and emergency preparedness strategies?
If you see them as a key partner, are they helping you with disaster planning/emergency preparedness? Are they making sure everyone has access to the same knowledge and information when they are working from home as when they are in the office?
Are they making sure people know how to use the tools at their disposal for collaboration, knowledge creation, and sharing?
Are they helping you map key knowledge resources within your organisation?
Are they making sure the knowledge that can be documented is? How about retention, are they helping you make sure that knowledge is retained and protected?
Are they helping you prepare for the time in the future, when all of this is a distant memory in a couple of years. The future of work is here, KM can take a lead and help facilitate the change.
Now is the time to be engaging KM in these activities, not later, not “when things calm down”, now. There is no good time, start now, take the first step now.
