A company’s day-to-day dynamics make it difficult to document processes or exchange knowledge. We are spurred on by need, that is, we look for people who know what we need to know exactly at the moment when we need that information.
As companies grow in size, locating that expert who can help us takes more time and effort. Once we’ve found them, what happens if our expert is on vacation? Or worse, what if they’ve just retired? Fostering a knowledge management culture is key to gaining agility and competitiveness.
Benefits of a Knowledge Management CultureThe benefits of working in a company where employees have a habit of sharing their knowledge are obvious:
• Employees are more involved in the organization. Teaching and sharing helps you feel valued and needed; it’s an activity that grants you recognition on its own. Teaching is rewarding. The employee sees how their knowledge helps others and that makes them feel good.
