On today’s podcast, you will learn:

The value of knowledge management

• Knowledge management refers to the need and ability to capture, share, and reuse knowledge in productive ways
• Capturing and indexing knowledge is best done while communicating with others during processes
• Provision mechanisms offer the greatest opportunity to capture knowledge 
• Contextual value can vary based on time frames, situational usage, and assembly
• Provision knowledge refers to obtaining only the information you need to know, precisely when you need to know it
• Industries that benefit from provisioning knowledge include software, automotive, financial, and other non-mechanical workflows

 

Understanding the role of active knowledge

 

• Do active knowledge-based machines need human assistance in order to perform properly?

• Various digital tools are becoming more and more model-based

 

• The application and implementation of active knowledge will only continue to increase over the years

 

Industry changes resulting from COVID-19

• Company leaders need to know that knowledge has not been applied as effectively as it could be 
• COVID-19 has given people an opportunity to examine whether there is a need for the next level of variation and change that companies are often pushing for
• More is not always better — companies might actually benefit from reducing their competition
• Many companies in the building industry can easily thrive at a distance thanks to online collaboration technology
