One fact is clear, your
business cannot operate efficiently without giving your employees
the necessary "tools" and "knowledge" for them to do the things for
which you have made them "accountable". In the Action Management
System we get you to build an online "Knowledgebase" to provide this
direct assistance. AMS then becomes the "operational centre" for
your business.
The AMS Knowledgebase becomes your central
repository for all tools,
techniques, methods, processes, policies, checklists, spreadsheets,
training material, manuals, and forms that are required to be
accessed by your employees in the performance of their
jobs.
The Knowledgebase (view simple Excel example) is built
progressively by the business to logically integrate with all
elements of the Action Management System. The Knowledgebase evolves
over time and becomes the repository for all business improvements
made using the Action Management process. For example the AMS
business DNA has "context-related" links to the Knowledgebase
for business policy and procedures, and every user's User
5x5 has "context-related" links to the Knowledgebase for access
to tools, instructions, and checklists, etc that are required by
employees in the execution of their jobs.
In
your business some of the major elements of this Knowledgebase will
already exit and others will need to be created, however these
knowledge items are normally not organised in a usable way for
simple access to the key information that staff need to do their
daily jobs.
So in
addition to the "context-related" links integrated within the Action
Management System, an AMS Knowledge Directory is therefore
created to match the DNA of the organisation. This directory
then becomes a simple and logical index of key operational
information within the Knowledgebase. |
