What is the Knowledge Aware Approach?
The Knowledge Aware approach is a coherent and comprehensive enterprise-level Knowledge Management strategy and technique. Unlike traditional knowledge management strategies, the Knowledge Aware approach activates knowledge in the flow-of-work. With it, knowledge is continuously being captured from standards, best practices, lessons learned, methods, techniques, requirements, employee knowledge, and other resources, broken down into digestible bite-sized pieces, and provisioned to the right person when and where it’s needed. This approach positively influences decision-making, which creates a more effective and efficient organization and more reliable outputs.
Who Uses It
Auros IQ is used by over 40,000 active global users and many successful globally recognized organizations. These organizations, and many others, are using the Knowledge Aware approach and are gaining a competitive advantage over the rest; simply by transforming the way their knowledge is captured, shared, and reused. The Knowledge Aware approach allows these organizations to operate in a state of continuous learning and effortless recall, where knowledge is continuously being captured, shared, and reused across the organization. Soon enough, every organization will transition into this approach to managing knowledge – it’s inevitable. Will you join them as an industry leader now or follow them later?
