Knowledge Management
What is Knowledge Management?
Organizations have vast amount of information, which creates problems
such as:
• How do you find the information?
• Who do you contact to get it?
• Once you find it, how can you be sure its complete and up-to-date?
A Knowledge Management Portal acts like a library in that it is a
repository for all available relevant information on a given subject area.
It also provides a powerful platform for information sharing and
collaboration.
Advantages of Knowledge Management
• Contributes to the intellectual capital of the organization
• Facilitates information sharing, which often leads to
innovation
• Eliminates redundant processes and information
• Reduces e-mail volume
• Improves productivity and efficiency
• Reduces risk of knowledge loss due to retirement or turnover
of experienced workers
• Accelerates on-boarding of new staff
Objectives of Knowledge Management
• Create a platform that facilitates the sharing, collaboration, and
maintenance of your institutional knowledge.
• Design an intuitive, browser-based and “light-weight” solution that
can be used by every level of the organization.
• Provide an easy-to-use framework that allows subject matter experts
to update and maintain knowledge bases.
• Develop a strategy to assimilate the knowledge repository into the
“day-to-day” business processes to facilitate a self-sustaining
operational environment.
• Design a solution that will be easily transportable to future platforms.
