Knowledge management
Knowledge Management (KM) is a set of principles, processes, organisational structures and technology applications that help people share their insights and experiences to meet business objectives. KM takes advantage of an organisation's most valuable asset - the collective expertise of its employees, clients, suppliers and partners.
Risktec has many years of experience of applying pragmatic KM solutions to the issues faced by hazardous industries and commercial and public sectors.
We provide a full portfolio of KM services which can be applied from the earliest stages of implementation or part way through the process, including:
- KM audits to benchmark current maturity against best practice
- KM strategy development
- Knowledge capture & transfer
- System specification & evaluation
- Lessons learned feedback
- Creation of communities of practice
Typical areas of application include risk mitigation to prevent corporate memory loss and loss of key skills, addressing cultural issues, improving levels of innovation, and supporting new skills requirements.
Risktec's holistic approach to KM, including the application of in-house developed KM tools, supplements the risk management and technical skills available throughout our organisation.
"Combined with our engineering and change management experience, our KM tools and practical approach ensure that our clients receive a cost effective solution."
