Managing written knowledge…

 

The endgame is not to have just written knowledge in a database and passively reused. The endgame is to have the written knowledge available in a person’s natural work flow. The strategy is to directly support people by providing the written knowledge in the appropriate form and at the time needed. This approach frees the time people spend searching for the answer or redoing a series of tasks. Everything the enterprise understands their people need should be readily available in their primary work environment.

I managed an internally developed knowledge base for 8 years. The knowledge base was globally accessed 24/7 but fell short on tying knowledge directly in individual workflow. A commercial software solution satisfying this endgame is now available. This solution is not limited to just engineering applications and is not another document management system. The solution provides a suite of knowledge management functions.

One of the key features of this solution is binding knowledge as rules directly to key design features in math data applications like Siemens’ NX (CAD) or Dassult Systems’ CATIA (CAD).  A tool kit is available for integrating this solution into any PLM, CAD, CAE and CAM applications or business systems.
