'If Hewlett Packard Knew what they know, we would be three times more efficient'
Lew Sadler- Former CEO of Hewlett Packaew
20% (at least) or your organisation's time is spent looking for information
It's probably more in some sectors. Some engineering projects it is over 50%. Just a interesting 25% of the time they don't find what they are looking for.
20% of employees have changed their job in last two years.
Every time somebody leaves your company you loose priceless knowledge and experience that will cost at least 50% of their annual salary to replace.
It takes three to six months to onboard anyone to a new role
Few new employees can hit the floor running, Learning new systems, new processes takes longer than you think, much longer.
The average age of workers in some engineering sectors is over 55.
The loss of expertise and experience in some sectors has been devastating, How do we recover, reduce or stop the flow of knowledge out of our industries.? How can you capture this before you loose it? How do you manage your exit knowledge?
1.5 million people over the age of 50 have resigned in the UK alone during or since the Pandemic
That is 1.5 million people's experience, knowledge and expertise lost from the working population, that won't be passed onto the next generation of engineers and architects, designers and maintenance managers,
80% or all the knowledge you need to operate is undocumented (Tacit ) knowledge and gold-dust
How do you know what your organisation knows? Who is the best person to ask? Who is the subject matter expert? What did we do wrong last time so people don't make the same mistakes. How do we harvest and share this gold dust?
Staff retention is a key driver of any organisation
Frustration with not having enough information is cited as THE top reason people leave any organisation.
60% of the value of your company is Intellectual Property
P is not just about patents or copyright but the knowledge and expertise held by your work force. Why wouldn't you want to nurture that, add to it, make that grow and add real value to your assets and organisation.
The primary role of any CEO is not the bottom line, but ensuring Knowledge flows
Without clean and easy to use KM systems how can your colleagues make better, faster decisions, serve their customers, both internally and externally? And acquire the 'new knowledge' any organisation requires to remain competitive and viable. - what we call Innovation
How do you Harvest and share your Organisation's know-how
Finding your Expertise and Experience
Your undocumented or Tacit knowledge is probably your organisation's key yet most fragile resource. You can replace a machine but you can't easily replace expertise, wisdom and just practical know how. How do you harvest and share the stories in your business that teach or warn, help springboard innovation or improve your value to your customer?
Every CEO or business owner would love to be able to solve this problem. In the past initiatives have been tried but often attempts failed, often miserably.
Why? Firstly there has to be an easy way to to collect, organise and share that information. so it can be used. Whether that is through SharePoint, your Intranet, BIM, GIS Document management, Intranet or your cloud.
Its a big task that involves engagement, psychology, technology and a bit of creativity.
It's a challenge but we think we have a toolbox of solutions and expertise to help you save thousands, often millions. with an ROI which is frankly a no brainer. If any employee walked into their CEO's office and said they had a way of making their organisation even 10% more efficient they should sit you right down and not let you out.
Let us help you.
