Model Your Knowledge
We use our Value of Knowledge™ models as “lab instruments” to rapidly test for and correct knowledge gaps and challenges. Our Knowledge Value Chain® (KVC) has been awarded US registered trademark protection, and has been used around the world for more than two decades.
The extended portfolio of TKA’s Value of Knowledge™ models includes:
- Knowledge Value Chain®
- Knowledge Balance Sheet™
- Innovation Opportunities Matrix™
- Knowledge-to-Value™ (K2V) Discovery-Development Framework
- Strategic Ecosystem Model™
- Client Development Ladder
- KVC Scorecard™
- Knowledge Points-of-Pain
Measure Your Knowledge
Using proprietary metrics such as our Knowledge Services Maturity Model™ (at right), we develop a baseline assessment and a roadmap to greater ROI.
Data, Information, Knowledge, and Intelligence are mission-critical production resources — and every bit as important as tangible resources like facilities, equipment, raw materials, labor, and capital. Knowledge resources should be managed with the same level of attention — using equally sophisticated tools and metrics — as you use for tangible resources.
