Management

MANAGE your knowledge

Using proprietary tools such as our Knowledge Services Maturity Model™ (at right), we develop a baseline assessment and a roadmap to greater Knowledge ROI.

Data, Information, Knowledge, and Intelligence (DIKI) are mission-critical production resources. These intangible resources are more powerful than tangible resources — facilities, equipment, raw materials, labor, and capital — in today’s hyper-competitive knowledge economy. Knowledge resources must be managed with the same level of attention — using equally sophisticated tools and metrics — as you use in managing your tangible resources.
