WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and here in the studio with me is Bill Yates. So we want to take a moment to say thank you to our listeners who reach out to us and leave comments on our website or on social media.  We love hearing from you, and we always appreciate your positive ratings and reviews on whichever podcast listening app you use. Today we're talking about a topic we've not addressed before, and we're very excited to dig into it.  Our guest is Laurence Prusak, and Larry has been studying knowledge and learning for the past 30 years.  He has been a consultant in these areas for Mercer and a co-founder for Ernst & Young Center for Business Value.  He's the founder and director of the IBM Institute for Knowledge Management and co-founder of the Babson College Working Knowledge Research Program.  He's been a senior consultant for NASA, as well as teaching in over 40 universities.  He has also recently taught at Columbia University's program on information and knowledge, and he has co-authored 11 books. BILL YATES:  Wendy, we got this recommendation from Stephen Townsend to reach out to Larry and talk with him.  One of the books that Larry recently worked on is called “The Smart Mission:  NASA's Lessons for Managing Knowledge, People, and Projects.”  So as we get into this topic, I think project managers will appreciate the depth of Larry's knowledge on knowledge management. WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Larry.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest today. LARRY PRUSAK:  You're welcome. A Definition of Knowledge  WENDY GROUNDS:  So we're going to be talking knowledge management, which is a new topic for us on our podcast.  And we're very excited that we have you with us.  Before we begin, could you give us your definition of knowledge? LARRY PRUSAK:  It's what a knowledgeable person knows.  Think about, if you go to a dentist, a dentist knows how to fix your teeth.  If he wasn't knowledgeable, you wouldn't be going to him.  We're talking about working knowledge, the knowledge that allows people to do things.  There's other sorts of knowledge.  There's religious knowledge, aesthetic knowledge, all sorts of things.  But we're talking about the knowledge that allows you to do something, and do it well.  Information is not knowledge.  Knowledge isn't data.

The Commander of U.S. Africa Command, Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, says a Chinese naval base in Djibouti has a pier that will accommodate an aircraft carrier. It's the latest move by China to establish itself as a naval power all over the world. And it's another marker of China's attempt to assert itself on the African continent. General Carter Ham (USA ret.) is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association of the U-S Army. He's former Commander of U-S Africa Command. In this episode, he examines the continent of Africa, the US's closest allies there, and the potential to both counter China and expand our own partnerships and alliances on the continent.

Son portrait est évidemment dans tous les médias tchadiens. « Le président Idriss Déby est mort », affiche sobrement Le Journal du Tchad. « Le Maréchal est mort au combat à l’âge de 69 ans », relate l’article. Il devrait être enterré vendredi « dans l’intimité familiale », chez lui au cimetière d'Amdjarass. C’est ce que prévoit le programme officiel des obsèques, d’ores et déjà établi par le protocole de la présidence et relayé dans le détail par Le journal du Tchad. Vendredi également, « des honneurs militaires seront rendus à la Place de la Nation », dans la capitale Ndjamena. Les conditions de la transition déjà contestées La presse tchadienne précise aussi les conditions de la transition qui s’amorce. C’est « un conseil militaire de transition (CMT) » qui est mis en place, dirigé par le fils du défunt président le général Mahamat Idriss Deby, explique Tacha. Et parmi les toutes premières mesures de ce CMT, présentées par Tchad Infos, il y la dissolution immédiate du gouvernement et de l’Assemblée nationale. « Une transition militaire déjà contestée par les partis politiques », nous apprend Le Journal du Tchad. « Certains demandent que les textes de la république soient respectés. Pour eux, c’est le président de l’Assemblée nationale qui doit assurer la transition », affirme le journal. Levée de bouclier au sein de la société civile également. Sur Tchad Infos, on voit que « la coordination des actions citoyennes appelle la population à opposer un refus catégorique à la prise du pouvoir par la force ».  Le Pays nous explique lui que L’ONG Action Humanitaire Africaine « condamne une tentative de succession monarchique ». Ce décès fait la Une de Walf et de 24h au Sénégal par exemple ou, en Côte d'Ivoire, celle de L'Intelligent d'Abidjan. Au Burkina Faso, L'Observateur Palgaa nous présente « Super Déby » comme le président tchadien était surnommé « pour ses qualités militaires », « de loin le soldat le plus vaillant du G5 Sahel », estime L'Observateur. Mais le journal dépeint dans le même temps le portrait d'un président autoritaire, et celui de son fils, Mahamat Idriss Déby en passe de reproduire le modèle paternel. « Comme le père, abonde Wakat Sera, le fils arrive aux affaires, âgé de 38 ans ! » Le journal burkinabè se demande alors : « L’histoire est-elle en train de se répéter au Tchad ? » Le regard de la presse internationale On trouve des articles également dans la presse internationale et certains mots ne sont pas tendres. « La France privée de Déby », titre Libération. Eh oui, « avec la mort du président tchadien, la France perd un allié dans sa guerre au Sahel », estime également Le Figaro. Les deux journaux affichent la photo d'Idriss Déby en Une. Libération évoque « un indéboulonnable président », « un pur produit de l'administration militaire française ». L'éditorial du Figaro parle même « d'Africanistan » et d'un homme qui a régné « d'une main de fer » pendant 30 ans. Parce qu'il « régnait par népotisme », il était aussi « un allié encombrant », rebondit Libération. Pourtant, les deux titres craignent, paroles de Tchadiens à l'appui, le chaos qui pourrait suivre sa disparition. En Grande-Bretagne, le Guardian se rappelle aussi d'« un régime de plus en plus autoritaire ». Aux États-Unis, le New York Times se souvient d'Idriss Déby comme « l'un des autocrates les plus enracinés d'Afrique ». Un président « qui ne supportait aucune dissidence » mais le journal, s'inquiète lui aussi pour l'après... Et puis, comme au Burkina Faso, la transition qui s'amorce interpelle le quotidien américain, « parce qu'elle viole la constitution », souligne-t-il. Et pour que les choses soient claires, il relaie ici les paroles d'une spécialiste : « En soi, c'est un coup d'État », affirme-t-elle. Les circonstances obscures de cette mort Le New York Times s'interroge par ailleurs sur les circonstances de sa mort. Elles sont « très obscures », à en croire les mots du général Stephen Townsend. Il dirige le commandement américain pour l'Afrique et il a témoigné mardi devant le Congrès à Washington. « Le général Townsend a déclaré qu'une combinaison de forces tchadiennes et françaises a affronté une colonne rebelle, et alors qu'elle semblait se retirer, M. Déby a été tué », rapporte le New York Times. Pas plus de détails. Un diplomate français témoigne anonymement : « Nous ne saurons jamais s'il a été blessé par une balle rebelle ou en tombant simplement de sa voiture de commandement. » En tout cas, ce décès est une perte pour la France, reconnaît le Times, mais c'est peut-être une erreur que la France s’est finalement « auto-infligée », analyse-t-il. Les experts rappellent en effet qu'« il n'y a pas si longtemps », les rebelles accusés d'avoir tué Idriss Déby combattaient en Libye voisine. Ils combattaient aux côtés du maréchal Haftar, soutenu par Paris. On lui a même apporté « un soutien militaire et diplomatique » souligne le New York Times. Et aujourd'hui, ce sont ces mêmes rebelles qui reviennent de Libye, mais formés et armés. Comme un retour de bâton.

NICK WALKER:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  This is our opportunity to meet with you and talk about what real life is like in the shoes of a professional project manager.  I'm your host, Nick Walker, and with me is the guy who is always on the lookout for interesting and talented people we can bring on our program.  And Bill, it looks like your talent scout eyes have snagged another big fish. Meet Stephen BILL YATES:  Yeah, I'm delighted that Stephen Townsend is going to give us the time on the podcast.  He is a very busy man.  I've known him, goes pretty far back, probably 2011 when I served on the Advisory Group for the PMI REP communities, when I really got to know Stephen.  And then had the opportunity to sit in on one of his talks, a couple of his talks actually, at the fall Global Conference back in fall of 2019 and just was reminded of the depth of his knowledge and the experience that he has.  Stephen's out there in the marketplace.  He meets with so many companies to talk with them about their project management practices and where they're going, what trends they see.  So great to have him on with us today. NICK WALKER:  Well, before we meet him, let's learn a little bit more about him.  Stephen Townsend has worked with PMI since 1999, and currently he is PMI's Director for Network Programs.  In this capacity he leads special program initiatives for the Institute.  One of those is serving on the U.K.'s Project X Research Consortium Steering Committee, supporting the benefits realization management research stream.  He's also involved in exploring how organizations are enhancing and reinventing their value delivery capabilities.  For U.S. federal government agencies he produces materials to help them implement requirements associated with the Program Management Improvement Accountability Act.  He also leads the PMBOK Guide's Seventh Edition transformation work stream.  Stephen, welcome to Manage This. STEPHEN TOWNSEND:  Thank you.  Good to be with you all today. Cooks vs. Chefs NICK WALKER:  We want to talk with you about some of the changes and challenges you see coming down the pike for future project managers.  But first, I'd like for us to talk about an analogy that Bill says you made at the PMI Global Congress last fall.  And any listeners with a background in the restaurant industry are going to get this right away.  You said that some project managers are cooks, and others are chefs, and also that we need both.  So could you explain that analogy? STEPHEN TOWNSEND:  Yeah.  So just to put it in the context of the conversation that we had at the PMI Global Conference, we presented a slide

Play Now: Cynthia Dionisio, Mike Griffiths and Stephen Townsend At the Project Management Institute (PMI)® Global Conference 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, I had the opportunity to attend two workshops to help in the development of A Guide to The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) -- Seventh edition. Yes, you read that right: Seventh Edition. And here is what PMI® wrote about the workshop: PMBOK® Guide – The Next Generation: An Innovation Working Session Join us for an innovation workshop to develop concepts for the next generation of the PMBOK® Guide. Explore current thinking to ensure the next version encompasses the full spectrum of project management approaches. Then actively participate in shaping the content through a series of innovation discussions and exercises. Bring your expertise, ideas and energy to collaborate with your colleagues in building a robust and resilient project management body of knowledge. The workshop was led by Cynthia Dionisio, Mike Griffiths, and Stephen Townsend. Cyndi and Mike are the co-leads for the new PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition and Stephen represents PMI. And in addition to attending the workshop, I also got the opportunity to sit down with them and learn what we can expect from the new guide. (My best guess is that it will be published sometime in 2021). In the interview we talk about the move from process-based to principles-based standards, what will happen to the domains and knowledge-areas, how the next guide will cover the entire delivery spectrum, why it will be much shorter than the current edition, and what each member of the team hopes that the seventh edition will be able to achieve.
