Harry Hartfield was looking over some recent travel brochures while consulting his recent Google search. Retirement is only 5 days away and he could not wait to see the Fiji Islands. He and his wife thought they would start with a restful break before they started their travels in earnest. Harry is the head aero engineer at GDD and has been in charge of purchasing the planes and maintenance for the last 15 years after being an employee with GDD 25 years before. Harry had worked up in the company to his current position and has seen a lot of initiatives come and go when it came to eco-friendly flying machines. In the last four weeks, Harry has been breaking in his replacement, Imogine Farthing a 40ish woman who is coming from their London branch. Harry likes the young woman and thinks that she will do well. However, she is keen to purchase the new Boeing 777 cargo plane. She thinks it will go a long way to improving their fuel consumption and air emissions in the long-run between Chicago and Singapore. The cost of the new plane is 3 times more than the Lockheed which Harry thinks will save fuel costs over the old cargo plane they are using now but will not have the same air pollutant emission reduction. While Harry thinks air pollution an important concern for GDD, he also knows that in the past these controls often make the cost of the plan high and the fuel consumption lower than the company predicts. Ms. Farthing does not agree. Harry knows it will be her call but wishes he could access all those old reports he made when he was making a similar decision earlier in his career. With that information as a base maybe with update figures, he may be able to persuade Ms. Farthing to change her mind. During his retirement party, Harry decides to tell Rockfish about this point in the hopes that he may know how to locate the reports. Harry thought it was worth the try. Rockfish said he would look into it but wasn’t sure what he could do.
In the next three weeks, Jane (you) and your team will prepare a transcript for the video PowerPoint presentation Jane will make to the Board. Each week you will address two KM issues illustrated in the scenario and how KM solutions will bring value to the company.
Directions:
Provide a draft response to Rockfish that includes the following:
Question 1: Identify and discuss how the problems in the scenario would, if handled by a CKO, create value for the company instead of a loss.
Question 2: Explain why failure to capture tacit knowledge will cost GDD money now and in the future.
Question 3: Explain how tacit knowledge affects culture and employee performance (refer to Helmut from week three in this instance)
Question 4: Suggest at least four reasons that retaining and capturing tacit knowledge will benefit the company not just in with these issues but in other ways.
Question 5: Explain how technology can help collect and store tacit knowledge information as well as explicit knowledge.
