Case Study 12Page 400 Hill & Knowlton Looks for a New Knowledge Management System By: John Baer
Agenda • First a view into the Case Study. • What is Knowledge management system. • What else is out there. • What do I think. • Questions.
A Look into H & K Case 12 • H & K is a global public relations firm based out of New York. • They have 1,900 employees in 68 offices over 32 countries. • H & K needed a easy, reliable & fast way to transmit information to employees & clients all over the world.
The five main direction of flow goes as follows. • Project Team • Other Employees Upper & Lower • Clients • External Companies • Training, Organization & Storage for a later date.
Problems with old system • No way to keep everyone in the loop. • Hard for people to use, no training. • extranet hk.com • Slow speeds & different technology. • “Beenz” Paying people to use the system.
What is KMS or Knowledge Management System • Simply put, it is a way to handle information. • Or maybe a better & even better way of handling whatever it is. • This can be anything form people to a product.
Different Ideals to Try • Discover.It; Web • http://www.discoverit.co.uk/webbusiness/intranet_case_study.htm • A web base company that manage Intranets & Extranets & other web business. • ISYS; Software • http://www.isys-search.com/index.html • ISYS and the US Federal Bureau of Prisons • http://www.isys-search.com/customers/success/usprisons.html • Software used to manage the hole Prison system.
Different Ideals to Try • Novo Solutions; Software • http://www.novosolutions.com/knowledge-management-software/?source=gppc • Novo = Telecharge.com • http://www.telecharge.com/ • Software that manage a online Box Office for Broadway & other shows.

My Ending Thoughts • H & K is just like so many company trying to handle everything themselves instead of staying with what they do the best. • Start the ideal, use the ideal, see the ideal to the end. • Keep it simple.
My Ending Thoughts • Make extranet to work with intranet. • Do not pay people to use the extranet. • Pay them for using the network. • Ask for help from others.
