KSCP Framework Development (Kalid
and Mahmood, 2012)
Storytized Knowledge
Declarative • facts or information stored in the memory,
that is considered static in nature. • conceptual, propositional or descriptive
knowledge, describes things, events, or processes, their attributes, and their relation to each other.
• Example: J is the tenth letter of the alphabet, that Paris is the capital of France.
Procedural Episodic
Definition of knowledge embedded story
The content of a knowledge-embedded
story is about work related practices which is based on experience (or
occurrence) .

Storytized Knowledge
Procedural • Procedural Knowledge refers to the
knowledge of how to perform a specific skill or task, and is considered knowledge related to methods, procedures, or operation of equipment.
• Example: How to ride a bike
Declarative Episodic

Storytized Knowledge
Episodic • Experience with knowledge • Learned through experience once the topic
is obtained from textbooks, formal training and education (Robillard,1999 cited in Raisinghani, 2006)
Declarative Procedural

The content of a knowledge-embedded
story is about work related practices which is based on experience (or

Background of Study
• Knowledge Story Construction Process (KSCP) Framework
– guides the construction and facilitates the transformation of knowledge into a story form.
– Ensure that the element of knowledge is not lost when repackaging into a narrative form.

•Knowledge Story Title
Knowledge Transfer Factors in an IT
Organization
What should I write about En Ahmad? Well, I tell
you a story about En Ahmad's significant
contribution in my eyes. I remember En Ahmad just
came back from a knowledge management course.
When he got back, he introduced changes.
.
.
.
En Ahmad spear headed the knowledge portal
project. In this portal, I am able to know who knows
what in the department. I know what are the
expertise and the skills that each personnel has in the
IT department.
Overall, I think that En Ahmad, has done a lot in
terms of promoting knowledge transfer in the
organization. Even though he is retired, but his
contributions will always be remembered.

Usefulness and Limitation
Assessment Code Quotation
Usefulness • Describe and express knowledge through the process of mapping
• Useful as a guidance
This model is very useful for me to describe and express my knowledge on AV management. (I-3) I felt that the mapping process is the most important steps where I can further explain in detail about my points very easily. (I-3) Some processes are very helpful and easy to follow. I would never expect I could write a very constructive story. The process guides me through the story construction (I-5).
Limitation • Knowledge and understandable and straightforward
• Unclear on how to map knowledge to an event
The process of mapping and wrapping is quite difficult because the knowledge is understandable and straightforward without any elaborations. (I-2) The mapping step is difficult. I was unsure on what event to match my points. (I-4)
NarrateC Recommendation
Assessment Code Quotation
NarrateC Recommendations • More examples • Clearer examples
I suggest a clearer guideline on mapping the knowledge with some examples (I-4) I recommended to have a flowchart as the final story as it is easier to understand procedural knowledge through this flowchart (I-6).
Conclusion
• KSCP framework is a framework that guides story constructor (e.g the experienced, experts,etc) to demonstrate the knowledge that they own into narrative.
• NarrateC, a web-based narrative construction application, was developed based on the KSCP framework.
• KSCP framework is a useful framework in guiding experienced persons or experts to construct a story based on a knowledge source. – Mapping of knowledge to event step are less understood especially for
procedural knowledge.
