Lost productivity
Businesses are losing thousands of hours of productive work each year, including the monetary value of those hours, in searching for answers. When information is inaccessible, decisions are made based on assumptions.
Expanding silos
Fragmentation - whether hierarchical, cultural, functional or geographical - creates barriers to finding and sharing knowledge, preventing that information from being used to grow the business.
Searching for answers
Employees with questions are prevented from finding the answers they need to make informed business decisions. They need a solution that gives them access to the knowledge of the entire organization.
The human factor
Businesses run on the knowledge of their employees. Untapping hidden knowledge can have a lasting effect on both improving employee satisfaction and retention.
Finding an answer
Technology and AI play a highly important role in solving the productivity conundrum and have a great ability to empower organizations and their people with untapped knowledge.
