Dr. Gordon's 30-minute lecture included case studies and guidelines for implementing a knowledge management system. He presented gap analysis, ROI, and applicability graphs for a general foundation before launching into the specific challenges associated with KMS adoption. The 10 min Q & A session following the presentation highlighted the high caliber of students in Dr. Sutton’s course.

Matt Cloward, a consultant and student in Dr. Sutton's course, said of Dr. Gordon's lecture, "In this economy, retaining and distributing knowledge is absolutely essential to sustaining competitive advantage. Based on the presentation, DML's knowledge management system, JARIS, is just the instrument my clients need to accomplish this task, as it provides dynamism, scalability, and, importantly, results. I look forward to partnering with DML and Dr. Gordon as a staple in my consulting."

Dr. Gordon said, "The workshop was a great opportunity to mingle with some of the leading lean thinkers. Hopefully my workshop provided new insight and tools for furthering knowledge transition and return on investment for training initiatives."

Workshop topics included:

• Putting "people in the process" to make a storm give up essential knowledge for future results, action, and benefits
• A solution-oriented approach to knowledge: accumulation, storage, sharing, and transfer within the context of the Shingo Prize Model
• A simplified ROI approach to identifying financial gains
• An age-proven instructional model for developing better training in an interactive environment
• Applications that spark new interest in knowledge management

Along with Dr. Gordon’s workshop, DMLGroup hosted an expo booth to highlight the knowledge management system JARIS and the new lean game Principle Focused: Tools, Systems, Principles.
