GENERAL GUIDELINES
- It is envisaged that this assessment task will result in the development of a professional KM strategy.
- The word limit for this task is 3000 words (including in-text references, tables, figures, and appendices but excluding the reference list).
- You can scope the assignment if necessary, for example, focus on one department, team, store or product line.

SUGGESTED STRUCTURE
The following is designed to provide general guidance as to the structure of the KM strategy. However, this is a suggestion only and by no means should limit your creativity when constructing your own KM strategy:

1. Introduction and background - Brief explanation of the overall vision, objectives, size, industry, location, organization structure (logical and physical) and it's impact on KM strategy.

2. Strategic and Knowledge Gap Analysis - Analyze the current and desired state for (Operational, Technological, Cultural) infrastructure by using Zack's approach - As is / To be.

Operational infrastructure Desired state
Operational infrastructure Focus on structure (logical and physical), governance, KM instruments and K-based processes (e.g. creation, organisation, capture, sharing, application). You could explore what existing KM instruments (e.g. rewards, recognition) are used (if any) and how effective are they (or
not).

Current state

Technological infrastructure Desired state
Technological infrastructure Focus on the content management, collaboration and knowledge transfer perspectives. Provide a critical analysis of the effectiveness of existing information technologies. Elaborate on what works well and what does not. What else is needed from a technology perspective to help the business reach its goals (i.e. are there any ‘gaps' here that could
be addressed as part of the KM roadmap/recommendations).

Current state

Cultural infrastructure Desired state
Cultural infrastructure Assess the type of culture at the organization, identify any sub-cultures, and examine issues for a knowledge-friendly culture.

3. KM Recommendations and/or KM Roadmap

Operational infrastructure

Technological infrastructure

Cultural infrastructure Be sure it is clear which recommendations link back to which gaps - i.e. how will implementing these recommendations close these gaps in order to meet the strategic objectives of the organization?. You could do this by labelling the various gaps, for example, "Recommend X, in order to address gaps Y and Z". Use references to support your ideas. Be sure to explain not only WHAT needs to be done but HOW it might be done. You may explain what challenges might Tesla face in implementing your recommendations and how might these be addressed?.
