The Evolution Of KCS

The KCS journey started in 1992 with a simple premise: •  To capture, •  Structure, and •  Re-use support knowledge With 20+ years in development and over $45 million invested, KCS

has been successfully implemented by companies like Avaya, Apollo, Dell, HP Enterprise and Salesforce.com.

20

The KCS Methodology

•  KCS is a methodology that focuses on knowledge as a key asset of the organization.

•  KCS seeks to: §  Create articles as a by-product of resolving issues §  Develop a KB of our collective experience to-date §  Evolve articles based on demand and usage §  Recognize people’s ability to:

learn, collaborate, share and improve

KCS is not something we do in addition to solving problems…

KCS becomes the way we solve problems

Knowledge: What is it?

22

Some Key Questions about Knowledge

•  What is the definition of knowledge? Information in which we can act upon •  How do you gain knowledge? Through interaction and experience •  Who validates your knowledge before you use it? No one, it’s validated through use •  When do you stop learning? Never, knowledge is never 100% accurate or complete •  How valuable is your knowledge? Very, so why not share it

23

KCS Manages the Risks of Knowledge Sharing

Can we create a knowledge base…

•  That capitalizes on our collective experience and interactions…

•  And minimizes the risk, knowing knowledge is: –  Not 100% accurate –  Never 100% complete –  Not static: it is constantly changing –  Validated through use

24

Body Parts?

Write down all the body parts you can think of that are spelled with

three letters…

“PG rated”

25

3 Letter Body Parts – 20! •  Arm •  Leg •  Eye •  Ear •  Egg •  Hip •  Lip •  Gum •  Jaw •  Toe

•  Lid (eye) •  Cap (knee) •  Pit (arm, knee) •  Rib •  Gut •  Rod (eye) •  Sac (shoulder/hip) •  Fat •  Bud (taste) •  Bum (UK only)
