Quote from an entrepreneur from the Fraunhofer Institute’s practical guide to knowledge management:
“Overall, our knowledge management measures have created great benefits without incurring high additional costs, which is an important criterion for us as a medium-sized company.”

Success factors

The success of implementing systematic knowledge management depends on a number of factors that must be considered:
  • Initiation and ongoing and visible support from management
  • Clear and communicated strategy and goals
  • A budget for the upcoming tasks
  • Personnel responsibilities
  • Opportunities and incentives for employee participation
  • Orientation towards company processes
  • Gradual introduction with sufficient time
Based on practical experience, we help you avoid mistakes as much as possible right from the start.

Integration of existing applications
Modules of processes and easy-to-understand software enable a careful development through gradual integration or replacement of existing applications. An improvement in capabilities and thus acceptance can be achieved through the Integration of a semantic search engine This allows you to connect virtually all of your company's existing systems to the system. Existing access rights and locks from these company systems remain fully intact. This allows your staff to find meaningful search results from all systems, filing systems, file servers, mailboxes, SAP, DMS, intranet, etc.
You search all your company systems simultaneously in one place and receive precise results. Our partner has 20 years of relevant experience.

    Focus on the "value creators"

    If knowledge management and a collaboration platform are not considered from the outset and introduced gradually, the topic can quickly become "burned" A second attempt will often only be possible years later due to a lack of staff acceptance. Thus, the opposite was achieved.
    An early analysis of the most promising "value creators" / use cases for your company (Use cases) identifies "quick wins" and thus helps to quickly achieve high levels of acceptance. Employees should, if possible, approach the topic themselves out of curiosity, as they hear about the successes of others. Management must create the conditions and visibly support the implementation process.

    Use and incentives

    The 90-9-1 rule in connection with social media states that only about 1% of people are active contributors (power users), 9% post something occasionally and 90% are passive users, i.e. they search and read but do not contribute anything themselves.

    To improve this situation, it is important to activate the right "quick wins" and the "right" users at the start of a knowledge management project, and then gradually integrate other employees. Word spreads about success, and if the group of initial users talks about it and others want to participate on their own initiative, this is the best prerequisite for a successful implementation.

    Incentives can positively support this process. A suitable incentive system ensures that the resources most likely to be successful are used for each phase. This could be the opportunity to rate a good contribution (a thumbs-up or points on a scale), the selection of a "Blogger of the Week," gamification (the integration of playful elements into an application), direct praise from the boss, or even a parking space directly in front of the company's office building for four weeks.
