Editor's Notes
- *Reduce time in troubleshooting by using defined solutions for already identified issues a la Known Errors. *Standardize documentation for request fulfillment. Useful for: Employee Training (Think new Help Desk analyst) Employee involvement – self empowered resolution for EU knowledge Standardization and benchmarking
- Archival process is an overarching process that can occur at any stage of lifecycle. Explicit knowledge: Document management, intelligence gathering, data mining, text mining etc. IT is useful/crucial in this respect. Tacit (embodied) knowledge: Includes tools/practices such as knowledge surveys, questionnaires, individual interviews, group interviews, focus groups, network analysis, and observation. IT has a more limited and indirect role. Embedded knowledge Includes observation, analysis, reverse engineering, and modeling tools to identify knowledge stored within procedures, products, etc.
- Knowledge Producers can encompass anyone from IT and can sometime include third parties (Think Microsoft’s KB) Knowledge Managers are the ones who determine whether a process document is acceptable and available for public consumption. Knowledge Consumers encompasses the entire organization and can sometimes include third parties Emphasize that EV can track who created the article, i.e. the Author, and the Group responsible for maintaining the article. This could the article’s SME group or the general KM group. Discuss how to handle permissions within EasyVista.
- Talk about knowledge siloing and its impact on search Knowledge statuses- fully configurable. Talk about draft status, draft metastatus exists but hides from knowledge. Best practice is to make drafts visible as the status notifies the technician it’s a draft. Draft’s won’t be public.
- Knowledge Sharing: Perhaps the most important process in KM, it plays a determinant role for both knowledge reuse and knowledge creation.
- Knowledge Usage or lack thereof, this is often the KPI that drives archival. Talk about potential for a review process. Ratings->Track internal vs. external ratings. Cardno uses internal ratings to drive promotion to published. Alerts for poor ratings. Search Stats – Useful for knowledge managers, what are my consumers searching for and are they finding anything using those searches? Tracking also available for how often knowledge is updated and by whom
- Explain ESPN process
