Unlocking Potential: How Mature Knowledge Management Strategies Can Transform the South African Construction Sector

Beschreibung

The maturity of a KM strategy is a critical component of its effectiveness (Maqsood, Finegan and Walker, 2006). Kruger and Snyman (2007) broke down KM maturity into 7 levels with the 6th level of maturity stipulating that an organisation was able to extend its KM strategy beyond its organisational boundaries. It is from this 6th stage of KM maturity that many academics, researches and KM practi-tioners believe that the real value of KM can be achieved as the potential value of KM is maximised due to the increased availability of knowledge to be entered into the organisations KM strategy (Orange, Burke and Boam, 2000; Maqsood, Finegan and Walker, 2006; Kruger and Johnson, 2009; Rezgui, Hopfe and Vorakulpipat, 2010). With the implementation of mature KM strategies by multiple organisa-tions through several continuous improvement cycles the performance of the sector as a whole also has the potential to be uplifted (Orange, Burke and Boam, 2000). Kruger and Johnson (2009) found that the maturity of KM in South African construction organisations was being stunted as the KM strat-egies did not extend beyond organisational boundary. Therefore, KM in the sector is not as successful as it was hoped it would be.

While a feminist approach is often championed by women, Dr. James' work on "Intersections of Care: A Feminist Approach to Public Health Nursing with Refugee Women" brings a valuable perspective from a male scholar. Dr. James, a dedicated public health nurse and researcher, tackles a critical public health issue in this book. He sheds light on the unique challenges faced by refugee women when it comes to accessing and receiving quality healthcare. "Intersections of Care" utilizes a feminist lens to analyze these challenges. Dr. James explores how social determinants of health, including gender, race, and immigration status, intersect to create vulnerabilities for these women. He emphasizes the importance of culturally competent care and dismantling structural oppressions that contribute to health disparities. The book is not just a critique; it's a solution-oriented guide. Dr. James outlines a framework for public health nurses to provide compassionate, feminist care to refugee women. This includes building collaborative partnerships, advocating for policy changes, and addressing issues like gender-based violence and mental health. "Intersections of Care" is a thought-provoking read for public health professionals, policymakers, and anyone passionate about ensuring equitable healthcare access for all, particularly vulnerable populations like refugee women. Dr. James' work paves the way for a more just and healthy future for these women and their communities.
