Organizations that leverage knowledge and manage it effectively can reduce costly mistakes, accelerate the absorption and distribution of new ideas, and eliminate redundant work. A thriving knowledge management program, one that successfully captures, structures, and reuses information, is a vital component of top performing companies and often provides them with a competitive advantage.
The KCS Foundation course provides support center supervisors, managers, and directors with an awareness of knowledge management best practices. Additionally, participants are introduced to fundamental concepts of the Knowledge-Centered Support (KCSSM) methodology. This course can also be used to build internal support for a new knowledge management initiative.
