Knowledge Sharing: A Case Study of Excellence in the Digital Age

Location: Las Haciendas 12933 Gulf Freeway Houston, Texas 77034

If you've had trouble finding information at your organization, you're not alone. According to Panopto's Workplace Knowledge and Productivity Report as reported in TD at Work November 2018 issue, six in 10 employees find it difficult to get the information they need to do their jobs well. In many cases, employee departures are responsible for knowledge gaps. A vast majority of respondents (85 percent) feel it's crucial for organizations to document and preserve employees' unique knowledge before they leave a company. Furthermore, 70 percent of respondents agree that when employees leave or changes within an organization and take their unique work knowledge with them, it costs the organization time and money to replace it. Reports estimate that preserving and sharing knowledge would save smaller organizations as much as $2 million in employee productivity, and larger organizations could save $200 million or more.

Presenter's Dynisha Klugh and Fred Stawitz will guide attendees through a case study situated to the development and use of an electronic discussion board by Nalco Champion to drive the quick turnaround of viable solutions to operations problems, capturing/sharing of important technical information, and creating/deploying essential training.
