What are the three technologies used for knowledge management?

There are three key technologies used for knowledge management:

  1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate knowledge capture and categorization, and to make recommendations based on data patterns.
  2. Collaboration tools to facilitate the sharing and co-creation of knowledge among team members.
  3. Knowledge bases to store and organize knowledge in a searchable format for easy access.
Who needs to use knowledge management?

Knowledge management tools help companies of all sizes that share processes, practices, information and policies. This can be between departments or groups and functional roles.

What are the components of knowledge management?

Created, stored and shared knowledge as part of a comprehensive knowledge management program. A robust knowledge management solution lets creators contribute knowledge in multiple formats including text and images. There must be enough storage available to house in one place all the knowledge a company needs. It must also allow many ways of knowledge consumption, including different permission types and different consumption channels.

How do I get started with knowledge management?

Best practice calls for an analysis of the current state of knowledge at your company. Ask yourself these questions:

  • How is knowledge managed today?
  • Who is creating knowledge?
  • How many tools are we storing knowledge in now?
  • What tools are we currently using? What are our requirements of a tool moving forward?
  • Who will consume knowledge? Do they need knowledge in real-time?
  • How can you edit knowledge?
  • What permissions do we need for our knowledge authors and users?

Next, determine the ideal state of knowledge at your company. In almost all cases, the ideal state of knowledge sharing is a centralized system. Well controlled knowledge by administrators ensures completeness and accuracy.

What type of knowledge does knowledge management support?

If you’re focused on sharing information, knowledge management can support a variety of media types. Text, rich text, images, and video are all key features of an internal knowledge base capability set.

What are the most important aspects of high quality knowledge management?

Centralized knowledge enables more effective use of it. All consumers of knowledge should look to a single knowledge base, regardless of how they consume knowledge. Having just one knowledge base that shares knowledge with all channels creates consistent and standard insights. All departments and lines of business benefit.

What are the key business benefits of using centralized knowledge management systems?

A centralized repository of knowledge gives you a number of advantages. It will:

  • Reduce time spent looking for information, help with version control issues.
  • Make knowledge more easily accessible for users.
  • Improve customer service KPIs by giving agents access to the knowledge they need to serve customers, faster.
