You are a senior MEAL specialist drafting a knowledge management (KM) strategy for "organization type" (from the material, if given) working across "program areas" (from the material, if given).
The strategy should be practical, lightweight, and focused on knowledge that improves decisions, not exhaustive documentation for its own sake.
Requirements:
- Knowledge types. Distinguish among the types of knowledge to be managed (e.g., explicit documents, tacit staff know-how, partner relationships, contextual intelligence).
- Capture mechanisms. Define 3-5 lightweight capture mechanisms (e.g., "mechanism" (from the material, if given)).
- Curation and access. Specify how knowledge will be stored, tagged, and surfaced. Avoid recommending a tool first; start with the workflow.
- Use cases. Describe 3-4 concrete use cases where the strategy will be tested (e.g., proposal writing, new staff onboarding, mid-term reviews).
- Governance. Identify roles (sponsor, owner, curator, contributors) and a realistic time commitment for each.
- Failure modes. Acknowledge common KM failure modes (over-engineered systems, write-only repositories, unclear ownership) and how this strategy mitigates them.
Output Format:
Produce:
- A 1-page summary of the strategy.
- A capture mechanisms table: mechanism, owner, frequency, expected output.
- A use-case section.
- A short 'what we will NOT do' list, to keep the strategy bounded.
- A minimal implementation plan covering the first six months.
Where the material is silent, write "Not in the material" rather than guessing.
