Small Business Knowledge Management

We are often asked, is Company Knowledge Management just for large Organisations?

Definitely not! Small Business Knowledge Management is just as critical!

The main difference is that large Organisations can gain much benefit from bringing together fragmented knowledge from across their operations, whereas Small Business Knowledge Management is more concerned with creating and applying knowledge faster.

In other words :

• the large Organisation first asks ‘What do we know across the Organisation and who knows?’
• the small Organisation first asks ‘What new knowledge can we create and turn into innovative products and services faster?’

The other key benefit of Small Business Knowledge Management is that it ensures the company has the necessary knowledge management structures in place before it becomes larger to better ensure that it does not create fragmented knowledge later.

Our experience has also revealed that small businesses are just as prone to expensive ‘reinventing of the wheel’ and costly repeating of the same mistakes. Even small teams do not reuse current knowledge as well as they should.

Our Company Knowledge Management programmes, based on ISO Global Standards requirements, to better manage knowledge operationally, and strategically, are just as relevant, if not more so, to small growing businesses who wish to develop business excellence, and can be viewed here.
