Some version of this parable is as true today as it was when it was coined nearly 2000 years ago. When applied to modern organizations - whether in Information Technology (IT), senior management or corporate growth planning - the truth is the same. With out a roadmap, a count of the bricks needed, and an endpoint clearly in sight, the initiative will wander and chances of failure increase.

KM Works Consulting will help you and your organization build a roadmap to success using a combination of facilitated creative brainstorming sessions, interviews, usage analysis, research and collaborative planning. With a well documented plan and a design for your knowledge-driven operations you and your organization can focus with better acuity and confidence and spend time where your time is best spent.

Legislation and self-imposed industry Safe Harbor rules have begun to dictate how business manages, stores and makes available the information it collects.

Everything from the Health Insurance Portability Act (HIPAA), the Grahm-Blithy-Leach (Financial Modernization) Act and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to changes forced by the Better Business Bureau Online and the Truste initiative have made the management of information a more complex and demanding task.

KM Works Consulting helps companies grapple with the challenging issues of Risk Management, data protection, security awareness training, network and software application vulnerability assessment and implementation of specific regulatory controls.

With the performance of a Risk Analysis or Security Assessment we will create Recommendations, Procedures and Polices for your organization. Security Awareness training can be implemented along with tools to monitor and manage training and compliance. Allowing you and your organization to feel confident that your data is protected and the organization is in compliance with industry best practices and government regulations.

At KM Works Consulting we think of Knowledge Management as the arrangement of information for the best functioning of the organization, evaluated in terms of retain-ability, share-ability and accessibility.

Good Knowledge Management practice reduces the amount of time it takes to get any single piece of data - or a collection of critical data elements - to a user's fingertips.

Good Knowledge Management helps users at every level - from Management and Leadership to the ground floor - focus on the business that matters, the result that is delivered, whether it is customer service or tangible product goods. In fact, the key elements of knowledge are different for different types of organizations - and functional groups within the organization. The key elements of knowledge depend on the organization and business group's drivers.

The activity of identifying and making available key knowledge elements helps organizations focus on their deliverables and their mission and gather, retain and package information - ultimately saving time and money and often showing immediate performance improvement.

KM Works Consulting works with clients to identify key information elements, reduce and stop information losses, maximize information reuse and refine the use of information management tools for Knowledge Management. As a result our clients can use their time to focus on the business that matters most to them, and not necessarily the business of information.
