Knowledge Management Guidelines

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Abstract
The knowledge management goal for organizations must lead to leveraging the organizational knowledge for benefits in business. The generic organizational knowledge management provides a basic understanding of the knowledge management philosophy. The scope of implementing this philosophy involves a complete change in the way people, process and technology interact with each other and is influenced by the uniform corporate culture. Leveraging everyones knowledge both in BPO service arms is a key objective for Cognizant. This document will define the applicable procedure for Knowledge sharing, dissemination and consumption.

1.2 Introduction
The path to reach the skies in business benefits in a business organizational structure that has its roots in organizational knowledge is to manage mindsets. At the first instance, it is the technology-companies which could find this philosophy of management most relevant. Effective product innovation is imperative for the survival, growth and profitability of an organization which associates itself to the core knowledge industry. Speaking of current statistics in the industry, a company utilizes only twenty percent of its available knowledge asset. This number shows the average production capacity which is being pooled. This fact brings to light the untapped potential that can fuel the production and drive the profitability in an organization. The current trends in knowledge industry show that over seventy percent dependency is on floating knowledge (knowledge workers) and a small part of production depends on static knowledge (documented information). It is essential that we manage the floating knowledge into repositories which over a period of time grows to become a substantial source of relevant information and expertise. Modern enterprises must adopt a deliberate and systematic approach to managing the drivers of innovation and expertise in order to create and deliver effective services and thus maintain competitive advantage

1.3 Knowledge Management

Knowledge management starts from the level of individuals involved in an innovation, if practiced widely, can improve organizations ability to achieve development results. Knowledge management is all about converting the available raw data into understandable information which forms a reusable repository for any future service being offered which anticipates similar kind of experiences. Knowledge management tools only work when individuals see the direct benefits in linking their personal knowledge management systems with organizational knowledge management systems. The knowledge workers must believe that the chores of contributing to an organizational knowledge management program benefits themselves and the communities with which they work. At the individual level, knowledge management involves a range of relatively simple and inexpensive techniques and tools that anyone can use to acquire, create and share knowledge, extend personal networks and collaborate with colleagues without having to rely on the technical or financial resources of the organization. Implemented from the bottom up by one development worker at a time, these techniques can increase productivity and enthusiasm and help to build momentum that can overcome the technological and social barriers to top-down, organizationwide knowledge management initiatives

1.4 Knowledge Management Strategy

For an organizational structure like Cognizant BPO where the verticals that handle projects in different domains it would be a valued experiment to maintain Vertical Specific Knowledge Centers. In Cognizant BPO these Vertical specific knowledge centers are called as sharepoint portal or KM portal. These centers would be headed by a knowledge coordinator or a champion. He would be responsible for synchronizing the information across the entire vertical into a generic vertical specific repository. It would be the responsibility of team leads and Operations managers to ensure every member of their process not only contributes but also practices using this repository to drive performance at work. The Knowledge Management would be done under seven layers - The Seven Layer Structure: Customer Knowledge - The most vital knowledge for delivering performance. All the customer specific details including the contact person, contact details, address, and phone numbers would be captured as part of the BPO PMO. All the details can be imported from BPO PMO and archived in the KM tool. Knowledge in Processes - Applying the best know-how while performing core tasks. All the details with respect to specific processes would be captured in this module those would be addressed as process assets. Knowledge in Services The type of service that the process provides. All the information with respect to services that the process provides would get covered here.

Knowledge in People The most precious asset of all. All the details with respect to people will be stored. Organizational Memory - Drawing on lessons from the past.

Here all details with respect to SOW/SLA/MSA and other contractual, feedbacks will be stored here. Knowledge Assets - Measuring and managing individuals intellectual capital. All details with respect to innovations, improvements, ideas etc will be stored here.

All the Knowledge Management is being done through Sharepoint portal which is created for each of the Engagement.

1.5 Sharepoint Portal

SharePoint Portal Server SharePoint Portal Server is a tool for knowledge workers, offering them a powerful new way to organize, find, and share information. Central point of access SharePoint Portal Server is a central point of access to business critical information and applications through a customized web-based portal interface combined with powerful enterprise search technology. Document collaboration Sharepoint Portal Server provides a document collaboration and management solution that is especially intuitive for users of Office, the Windows operating system, and Internet Explorer. Content SharePoint Portal Server typically is used to store business information contained in documents such as Word documents, spreadsheets, and PDF files.
