the following.
• You will choose an organisation (Discuss this with your tutor to get approval.)
• Interview either a KM or IT Manager (Evidence of email or business card must be attached to the Report). Questions for the Manager will be around the presence of a KM strategy and system and the effectiveness of their innovative collaboration platform. (As a group you will focus one collaborative platform EG: Intranet; Blogs, Twitter etc). If they do not have a platform, then discuss with the Manager what they consider will be an ideal knowledge sharing and transfer platform. (During one of the tutorials the tutor will workshop interview questions with you.)
• Study the organisation business type and critically analyse either their existing collaborative
platform’s suitability. If the organisation has no collaborative platform, then you as a group will need
to think of which platform that will suit them.
• In your report you will give your recommendations (This can be an improvisation or a new idea that fits the business.)
