KM Inspiration Part 1
Partner and supplier managers across industries and around the world have a common challenge — consistency.
External, non-employee stakeholders can dramatically affect a company’s performance, for better or worse. How can organizations develop these stakeholders to the same level of competency and product knowledge as their internal employees? And how can organizations instill common messaging, brand identity, and quality practices across this extended enterprise?
Many organizations have implemented learning and knowledge management strategies for their partner programs, backed by a learning management system (LMS), to bridge this gap between internal and external stakeholders. Learning management systems have provided value to partner management organizations primarily by cutting training administration costs through automation, by replacing instructor-led course activities with more cost-effective eLearning modules, and by ensuring partner compliance with the use of certifications and training analytics.
The whitepaper will help you develop a business case around using a learning management system to educate your audience beyond the traditional company boundaries – to your partners, vendors and suppliers in the “extended enterprise.”

Ask your tutor for help. I am sure they would prefer it if you went to them because you do not understand rather than not attempt it at all.
Sorry it is way above me, but good luck
Someone needs to spend time with the assigned reading homework.
Use your mind. Think. Push those gray cells to communicate and share their thoughts with each other to form new ones. Or choose to be mediocre; the latter course will put you in a very large group.
Data are mixed up.
Before attempting to address the question of knowledge management, it's probably appropriate to develop some perspective regarding this stuff called knowledge, which there seems to be such a desire to manage, really is. Consider this observation made by Neil Fleming
A collection of data is not information.
A collection of information is not knowledge.
A collection of knowledge is not wisdom.
A collection of wisdom is not truth.
The idea is that information, knowledge, and wisdom are more than simply collections. Rather, the whole represents more than the sum of its parts and has a synergy of its own.
in summary the following associations can reasonably be made:
Information relates to description, definition, or perspective (what, who, when, where).
Knowledge comprises strategy, practice, method, or approach (how).
Wisdom embodies principle, insight, moral, or archetype (why).
The value of Knowledge Management relates directly to the effectiveness with which the managed knowledge enables the members of the organization to deal with today's situations and effectively envision and create their future. Without on-demand access to managed knowledge, every situation is addressed based on what the individual or group brings to the situation with them. With on-demand access to managed knowledge, every situation is addressed with the sum total of everything anyone in the organization has ever learned about a situation of a similar nature. Which approach would you perceive would make a more effective organization?
It is an interesting speciality, sort of a cross between a business degree and a library degree. The upside is that it will prepare you very specifically for a certain niche in an organizational hierarchy. The downside is that it might not give you enough big-picture training to move up that hierarchy. But like most undergraduates degrees what you do with it depends mostly on you, not on the degree.
Good luck.
No, it is not needed. Companies survived for hundreds of years without it.
