Critical human capital problems your organization is likely facing:
|
A changing workforce with increasing generational gaps
|
serious consequences from sudden, unexpected loss of critical knowledge
scrambling to fill positions and quickly bring replacements "up to speed"
|
|
Too many missed deadlines and lost opportunities
|
having only one "go to person" in a critical area
|
|
Not meeting performance targets
|
conflicting priorities
tight budgets
staff stretched "too thin"
|
|
Serious risk of noncompliance with a growing list of regulations
|
not being able to keep track of "who knows what"
"we didn't know that" can't be used as an excuse to avoid serious fines, penalties, and a badly damaged reputation
|
|
Too much time, money and resources wasted from repeating mistakes and “re-inventing the wheel”
|
no systematic, repeatable process for capturing, sharing and applying lessons learned and best practices
the knowledge management systems you've put into place aren't working
strong cultural resistance to knowledge sharing
|
Three essential steps to take...
|
Know what you know (capture):
Find, capture and organize critical knowledge that's deeply embedded in people, documents, and data
|
|
Grow what you know (share):
Make the transformation from a knowledge-hoarding culture to a vibrant enterprise where knowledge is collaboratively developed and shared
|
|
Make the most of what you know (apply):
Keep pace with and even exceed the rapid changes in your market by creating a culture of fast innovation and learning

For over two decades, Applied Knowledge Sciences, Inc. has been helping organizations of all sizes—public, private, and non-profit—achieve higher levels of performance by capturing, sharing, applying and growing critical knowledge. By critical we mean highly specialized knowledge essential to your organization's success and at risk of being lost or compromised.
We work with your executive team and the key experts in your organization. We identify and capture their critical knowledge so others can learn what they do, how and why they do it, and ultimately improve upon it.
Getting to this level of perfromance takes a firm commitment of time, effort and investment. But the payoff is huge.
By systematically knowing what you know (and what you don’t know), sharing what you know, and making the most of what you know, you’ll begin to experience:
- Faster and better decisions
- Fewer bottlenecks and single points-of-failure
- Improved ability to respond to “pop-up” problems and opportunities
- Improved ability to attract and retain talent.
All of which means increased organizational performance and competitiveness.
