Knowledge Management

Conscious knowledge handling not only adds up to increasing the quantity of available information, but also boosting the quality of the locating and evaluating processes for the needed information. Logically, knowledge management also encompasses retaining concealed corporate knowledge while getting rid of superfluous knowledge.

EIKV is very pragmatic in that it looks upon knowledge management as organising, providing, distributing and utilising all information and capabilities for carrying out specified jobs in the best way including and applying organisational structures, constraints and employees' behavioural patterns.

This process should take advantage of all tools available in state-of-the-art information and communication infrastructures. This has the objective target of building up experience and expertise databases not only to make already existing stocks of information and knowledge, but also latent employee knowledge available (such as experience and tacit knowledge).

Knowledge management is dedicated to the goal of making the expertise accessible on a global scale as well as obvious and concealed capabilities in the heads of our employees available to a company so that they can be efficiently used for getting the job done.

 

Hands-on Knowledge Management

Professor Dr. André F. Reuter has discovered that there are only a few companies that are willing to persevere on this path.

As a member of the Advisory Board for eEurope of the European Commission in Brussels, the Luxemburg-based Professor grapples with methods and models that provide a measure of intangible assets in company.

He believes far too few management personnel are aware of the fact that that these values boost the market value of a company enormously. “But, we on the path to a virtual economy” according to Reuter.

And in no more than a couple of years this will be a key issue when the companies in the European Union will have to report not only the material in balance sheets, but also the intangible values such as the knowledge of their employees: What social values and corporate values make companies valuable?
