Integrating Knowledge Management strategies and technology solutions.
Knowledge Management (KM) has become a widely accepted and necessary practice for business groups seeking to identify, store, and share valuable organizational knowledge. Efficient KM is essential in the 21st century where the work environment increasingly spans the entire globe; it is imperative that mission critical offices within both the public and private sectors take steps to ensure the knowledge, lessons learned, and human capital gained over the years is retained.
Additionally, Federal agencies are currently experiencing a dramatic age and knowledge gap among their employees. As more and more experienced workers are approaching retirement, agencies are at risk of losing their critical knowledge base if business processes remain undocumented. Without a comprehensive Knowledge Management strategy, recruitment and training young workers and those new to the agency will increase in difficulty. An aging Federal workforce means that an entire generation of knowledge could exit organizations unless it can somehow be captured.
Agencies have employed various work-arounds to deal with these issues. Often, these short term solutions have required them to invite many employees to continue working beyond retirement age; additionally, some agencies have asked retirees to come back and work as consultants to help fill the skill shortage. Recognizing that this stop-gap solution cannot last forever, many agencies have solicited vendor support to implement a comprehensive Knowledge Management system.
Elucid's team of KM and Information Technology professionals have assisted numerous federal agencies with developing KM and documentation strategies. Our proven, technology-agnostic methodology ensures that we deploy the best-fit KM strategy and technologies for your organization; it is not our approach to begin with a particular platform in mind and then try to adapt your business processes to this solution.
