Details of Knowledge Management Certification

Knowledge Management Certification consists of three certifications for the individuals of an organization which include Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 certification awarded by the Global Knowledge Economic Council (GKEC) and the eKnowledgeCenter (eKC). The Knowledge Management Certification program covers the management of human knowledge systems in business and government settings. The two ways of receiving training include e-Learning with a four day face-to-face workshop or eLearning only. The e-Learning only way of training includes an online workshop that simulates the training provided in the face-to-face workshop. The face-to-face and online workshops are designed to train knowledge professionals on how to plan, analyze, design, manage, and monitor a knowledge-based initiative, based on two sample types of organizations such as retail and consulting. The purpose of the Knowledge Management Certification is to give hands-on exposure that enables participants to add value to their companies and clients the day they return to work.

There are three levels of Knowledge Management Certification provided to individuals which include associate certified knowledge manager, senior certified knowledge manager, and executive certified knowledge manager. Each level constitutes different competences and different levels of experience. Let us see each of these Knowledge Management Certification levels in detail. The first level is designed to equip a knowledge professional to assume the role of a senior manager, such as a Chief Knowledge Officer or Chief Innovation Officer, or to communicate with management regarding the strategic value of knowledge and to develop business plans and financial reports justifying the investment.

The training imparted to the individuals in the level of Knowledge Management Certification focuses on the strategic planning, financial planning, and analysis side of knowledge-based professions. In addition, the training program focuses on designing successful knowledge processing environments. The majority of program time is spent on how to analyze, model, design, measure, and transform an environment to help an organization meet its goals faster and more effectively from a knowledge and innovation management perspective. The Knowledge Management Certification Program is developed in compliance to certification standards enforced by the Global Knowledge Economics Council. The GKEC generates and supervises the test following NOCA NCCA and ISO 17024 standards.

The Senior Certified Knowledge Manager training program is the next level Knowledge Management Certification program. This level is many times more rigorous than any other Knowledge Management Training program available globally. The additional competencies in this level include knowledge econometrics which includes learning curves, diffusion curves, path dependency, innovation rates, isoquants, and economic cost/benefit analysis, and statistical analysis which includes basic statistical tools and techniques, drawing valid statistical inferences, and sigma calculations. In addition, the competencies in this level include application of knowledge econometrics to knowledge production system, managerial knowledge economics, and the role of a chief knowledge officer.

The last and final level of the Knowledge Management Certification program is the Executive Certified Knowledge Manager training program which is the continuation of the Senior Program. Awarding of certification is based on experience, performance, and the ability to design advanced interventions. In this level, the candidates learn and practice how to conduct advanced analysis and perform advanced design and implementation techniques. The Knowledge Management Certification program focuses on the seamless integration of knowledge and activity across content domains, space, time, and people. Participants particularly focus on accelerating the creation and dissemination of new knowledge in groups, organizations, businesses, and scientific communities.
