If you’re trying to implement a seamless education and onboarding process within your teams, it helps to have a good knowledge sharing system in place. By sharing and using the knowledge that you already have within the business, you ensure that your new team members are exposed to the key bits of information that are relevant to your company and your project.
Encouraging knowledge sharing within your organisation is a sure fire way to upskill your team, without having to recruit any external influence. By making the most of the resources you already have, knowledge sharing allows you to work more effectively and breaks down any silos between teams.
What Does Knowledge Sharing Mean?
Knowledge sharing in general is a rather vague concept. It can be defined in many different ways, from an informal chat to comprehensive training programs. For businesses, it concerns sharing all the pertinent information about a service, a product or a process with employees and customers.
The key to effective knowledge sharing in business is the creation of knowledge bases – often a database or online LMS system that is complete with all the relevant and organised information. Knowledge can take many forms, from articles to FAQs to interactive training systems. All of this can be delivered via a Learning Management System (LMS).
What Is A Learning Management System?
Whether it is a simple online induction software for visitors, or a much more sophisticated company-wide training package, a Learning Management System can simplify the delivery of staff training. It allows managers to track staff progress as well as to identify areas where there are gaps.
Beakon’s Learning Management System is geared to deliver training to staff and contractors no matter where they are. Cloud-based training sessions can be deployed face-to-face or by using distance learning, because every business has differing requirements. LMS software should be customisable so that the best tools for each learning outcome can always be utilised.
How Do Cloud-based Systems Enable Knowledge Sharing In Real Time?
It is important to ensure that all training is delivered with equal quality to everyone, no matter where they are undertaking it. Cloud-based systems enable knowledge to be shared across multiple platforms simultaneously.
Beakon’s customisable dashboards, live tracking, and online grading allow for success to be monitored in real time. Data can be reused and updated whenever information changes, making the process flexible and fast. Furthermore, specific content or scenarios can be targeted to different audiences that require different learning outcomes at the same time.
The Benefits For Businesses
Businesses benefit enormously from sharing knowledge. The learning process delivered by LMS systems encourages the growth of employees. This is especially true when the system has full functionality on PCs, tablets, and smartphones and is simple to use for all levels of users.
By sharing knowledge in real time, all together, problems and solutions can be shared. This engenders further motivation for growth within the organisation, creating a sense of communal importance. When people connect and share knowledge, team spirits are raised. Employees that stay informed of relevant issues and problem-solve create a healthy atmosphere to work in.
Every business will understand the specific learning outcomes they need and Beakon’s fully-customisable LMS is a step towards realising that potential.
