Success Criteria • Participation – “Attachment Rate” • Re-Use • Quality Knowledge - REWARD • Documents Improved • Time to Publish
Transition to KCS • Not Easy • Culture Change • Results can be Profound • BREAKTHROUGH • The Focus is Knowledge not the “Case” • “Content is KING” • Requires Strong Leadership not Strong Management • More important to create the knowledge • Eventually it will involve our whole Organization
Pilot Project Overview • Small focused group • 12 Analysts and 9 coaches • Pilot original duration – 4 months: • Dec 1 – Mar 31 in NA • Jan 1 – Apr 30 in EU • Measure success: metrics, interviews. observations
Results and Trends • Average – • 42% • Highest – 76.55 % • Lowest – 1.84%
The Good • Growing interest amongst analysts • KCS participants are approached by peers • Requests for KCS@Cognos training • Easier to close cases • Better quality KB docs • Do analysts really believe in KCS? I think this could be very successful and to be honest support needs a change like this in order to be successful in the future. KCS is great if we are able to do a successful rollout. If everybody (Support specialist, customer and development) is working in this way, we can get great benefits from KCS. I understand the idea behind the methodology and I think it is good. • KCS participants KB attach rate more than double the rate
The Bad • Very difficult to change habits – KCS requires a shift in culture • Constant pressure to close cases • Speed of perceived impact of KCS: Need long-term commitment • Our current technology is a barrier
