Leveraging Organizational Intellectual Capital
A company’s greatest wealth is its wealth of knowledge. Yet
in most organizations, the knowledge and skills of employees are
greatly underused. Moravec and Associates can uncover latent knowledge
and ensure that employees’ ideas and wisdom are captured,
shared and applied throughout the organization.
Our strategy has a dual focus:
- To create a culture of knowledge sharing through a variety
of methods, such as encouraging examination of “lessons
learned,” and building work cultures and team processes
that allow ideas to surface.
- To implement an Information Technology system that enables managers,
employees, and teams to access these ideas and lessons and disperse
them worldwide. This base of captured knowledge remains even after
the contributing employees have left the company.
We help clients avoid the pitfalls and risks of starting up and
implementing knowledge management. Business goals form the basis
for determining what to look for and how to capitalize on ideas.
We assess the revealed capacities to determine:
- How and where to apply them
- Where the learning gaps are.
Leveraging the organization’s intellectual capital can be
far more profitable than leveraging dollars. Our clients have identified
the following benefits:
- A blueprint for combining intellectual resources to move forward
- Knowledge sharing across borders and time zones
- A stronger globalization strategy
- Improvement in core competencies
- Ability to capitalize on what makes the organization unique
- Rapid solutions to problems without costly reinvention of the
wheel
- A learning culture in which employees share knowledge as a matter
of course
- Substitution of new ideas for repetitive actions that haven’t
produced desired results
