Why the coordination tool is important

To run effectively and efficiently the knowledge handling process is necessary to set a strong coordination and process control tool.




What is the coordination tool

The coordination tool is a central database where all relevant information to orchestrate the knowledge handling process is collected and maintained. The database includes but is not limited to:

  • Knowledge communities.
  • Role and responsibilities.
  • Knowledge tools (in place, planned, retired).
  • Content list.
  • Relevant KPIs.




How the tool is used

Strategic targets are set in this database at least yearly. Request for organizational changes in terms of knowledge communities, responsibilities, and scopes are set and executed here. Any relevant information to manage a knowledge community is maintained in the database.




When to use the coordination tool

Strategic activities like budgeting or updating targets are performed at least yearly Tactical activities related to organizational changes are performed monthly or quarterly. Any operational activity such as role management is performed daily.
