Knowledge Management Association: Positive KM | KM Impact on Organizational Performance Using Science of Happiness

"Positive KM:  Transforming KM's impact on Org. Performance using science of Happiness, of Networks and Learning"

"Positive Deviance" is the evidence-based study of what constitutes excellence in individuals, communities and organizations.  Many of the high performance practices being identified by researchers overlap with the multi-disciplinary, cross-cutting practices inherent in KM.  KM practitioners can leverage these ideas to impact organizational systems and performance in transformative ways.

Participants in this interactive session will:

1.  Become familiar with 4 evidence-supported business practices of high-performance organizations.

2.  Be introduced to evidence emerging from human sciences which are transforming how to manage org. performance and human knowledge.

3.  Be exposed to a market-tested, 3-tiered approach for designing transformations of human systems.
