Information & Knowledge Management
Necessary, yes – But is it also feasible?
Your company’s most valuable assets are in the heads of your employees
Your company’s most valuable assets are in the heads of your employees. But what happens when employees with key information go on vacation or even leave the company? Do work quality and performance go on vacation too?
KonTraG [German statute on the control & transparency in corporate governance] is not the only impetus for significant improvements in documentation of structural and operational organization, i.e. knowledge of how to “do business”. Other issues are equally important. For example, how much effort is involved in maintaining organizational manuals? How much effort is required to access necessary management information?
In no other subject area do so many projects fail
Intranet and/or portal solutions should be discussed at the company early on. Each employee should have access to precisely that information needed to accomplish his or her work objectives. Ideally business processes should be supported by workflow functionalities, ad hoc access to management reports should be possible, and cooperation should be supported in virtual spaces.
Unbiased, efficient assistance in software selection and on your project
That is as far as theory takes us. Between the concept and its implementation lies a complex project, and that is where so many cost-intensive project initiatives have failed. Frequently these projects fail due to insufficient differentiation in software selection and overloading of project contents.
Success is no coincidence
