Responsibilities PURDUE UNIVERSITY RESIDENCES
Objectives for today • Discuss the thought process of redesigning your Knowledge Base • Share some of the issues that were encountered along the way • Demonstration of key components and functionality
Knowledge Management Our situation… Our current solution… Our task…
Overview Old KB vs. new KB • What was wrong with the old KB? • What items/functionality did we want to keep? • How could we benefit other groups/departments?
How did we get there? • Continual meeting of the minds • Feature requests keep on coming • Deliverables, test accounts
New ideas • Concept of roles, services, owners, and groups • KB user accounts have associated service memberships and groups • Role development helps in providing parent/child group permissions
Image management • Images stored internally on server • Uploaded to KB, categorized • Image must be approved before use
Maintaining the Knowledge • Article reviewing policy • Constant ongoing process • Can’t set it and forget it.
Conclusion • Revising KB requires planning • In our case, total costs were low • Continually improve content and features • Promote and gather support
