This presentation outlines Step 5 (Evaluate and Evolve) of the Knowledge Management (KM) Road Map. The goal of Step 5 is to assess how well you achieved your KM objectives to improve your health program, identify factors that contributed to or hindered success, and use the findings to inform and influence future programming.

This presentation outlines Step 4 (Mobilize and Monitor) of the Knowledge Management Road Map. In Step 3 (Create and Iterate), you developed new knowledge management (KM) tools and techniques or tailored existing ones to meet your audiences’ needs and bridge knowledge gaps. Now it is time to put these into action. For example, if you developed a publication such as a job aid, it will now be put to use in the appropriate setting.

The goals of this training presentation are:

• Review different needs assessment methodologies
• Discuss data analysis approaches and synthesis of findings
• Outline the process for dissemination of findings
   

The goal of Step 1 in the Knowledge Management (KM) Road Map is to understand the extent of the health program challenge and identify how KM can help solve it. This presentation in the Step 1 training module provides an overview of the key tasks involved in completing Step 1 of the Road Map. It starts with explaining what a needs assessment is, particularly as it relates to knowledge management, and why needs assessments are important to designing KM interventions.
