“the support network”

The Evolution Of KCS
The KCS journey started in 1992 with a simple premise: • To capture, • Structure, and • Re-use support knowledge With 20+ years in development and over $45 million invested, KCS
has been successfully implemented by companies like Avaya, Apollo, Dell, HP Enterprise and Salesforce.com.
21
The KCS Methodology
• KCS is a methodology that focuses on knowledge as a key asset of the organization.
• KCS seeks to: § Create articles as a by-product of resolving issues § Develop a KB of our collective experience to-date § Evolve articles based on demand and usage § Recognize people’s ability to:
learn, collaborate, share and improve
KCS is not something we do in addition to solving problems…
KCS becomes the way we solve problems
Knowledge: What is it?
23
Some Key Questions about Knowledge
• What is the definition of knowledge? Information in which we can act upon • How do you gain knowledge? Through interaction and experience • Who validates your knowledge before you use it? No one, it’s validated through use • When do you stop learning? Never, knowledge is never 100% accurate or complete • How valuable is your knowledge? Very, so why not share it
24
Body Parts?
Write down all the body parts you can think of that are spelled with
three letters…
“PG rated”
25
3 Letter Body Parts – 20! • Arm • Leg • Eye • Ear • Egg • Hip • Lip • Gum • Jaw • Toe
• Lid (eye) • Cap (knee) • Pit (arm, knee) • Rib • Gut • Rod (eye) • Sac (shoulder/hip) • Fat • Bud (taste) • Bum (UK only)
What about? Foot Knee Heel Tooth
26
KCS Manages the Risks of Knowledge Sharing
Can we create a knowledge base…
• That capitalizes on our collective experience and interactions…
• And minimizes the risk, knowing knowledge is: – Not 100% accurate – Never 100% complete – Not static: it is constantly changing – Validated through use
27
Double Loop Process

B Loop: Evolve • Organization level
processes across many events and articles
• Analysis and corrective actions
• Reflective, continuous improvement
A Loop: Solve • The event level, tasks • Responding to requests • Resolving issues • Reusing, improving,
creating articles • Reactive
