OpenKnowledge is a consulting company helping clients to realise their business potential through creative approaches. OpenKnowledge aims to increase the level of performance and efficiency for our clients through leveraging their social capital; using informal social networks and collaboration software as tools
|
Cultivating collaboration, participation and collective intelligence
We bring innovation to organisational models through providing mechanisms to encourage and support collaboration. This is assisted through capturing informal interactions and tacit knowledge that form an essential part of the organisation’s work practices.
Informal networks, tangible results
To be competitive organisations need to be responsive, continuously re-configured, and innovative. Spreading best practice and individual and organisational learning becomes a valuable and strategic asset. This can occur more easily in informal social networks rather than formal structures and top down interventions. OpenKnowledge offers the methods and tools to read, manage and leverage the informal aspects of the organisation to enhance the formal structures.
We help organizations to:
- Systematically and rapidly spread best practice
- Activate collaborative processes for competitive advantage
- Support innovation across the value chain: employees, directors, clients
- Increase the speed of information and decision-making processes
- Increase the efficiency of processes
- Access relevant information on different market sectors
- Share, formalise and capitalise on tacit and explicit knowledge
- Facilitate organisational learning, which drives competition and strategy
- Align formal and active initiatives which guarantee more effective management and organisational success
- Identify and cultivate the specific competencies within the organisation
|
We do this through:
- Assessment and analysis of the organisation’s needs and identifying social networks
- Establishing a development plan based on a shared evaluation of priorities
- Training and change management to engage people and teams with formal and informal learning solutions
- Community management to develop shared interactions that support social networks and communities of practice and interest
- Using specific tools and methodologies (social software) to support innovative and shared organisational processes
