From Philips Yellow pages to People Finder and beyond……..10 years of experience in leveraging people’s knowledge

THE QUESTION

“Who can help me with………….?”

“In this vast Philips organization there must be at least one person who is able to help me!”

Experiences with best practices

• Experts love to share but have difficulties accepting bp’s from others: no learning!

• A lot of recognition for sharing, but less recognition for learning.

Standard approach is: Connect people to the right data and information. [Intranet, databases, libraries]

How it all began….

But...

there is no-one who will implement a good idea without consulting the owner.

Hence...

it is at least as important to connect people to people than to connect people to information.

Thus...

How it all began….

Customer Perception of Value

Product Quality X Brand Image

Similar for information...

Perception of Value of Information =

Content Quality X Credibility of Owner

Some learnings….

• It starts and ends with people.• People always choose for the path of least

resistance.• Different people have different problem solving

and learning styles.• Tap as much as possible from sources that are

maintained well. • Create exciting features that surprise people.• Internet possibilities drive company demand.

Sharing knowledge – the challenge…….

Two kinds of people….

• Square and round.

• Searchers and browsers.

• Excel and Word

• SharePoint and web viewers

• …

Law of the large numbers.(Wisdom of crowds)

The value of information increases exponentially with the increase of the number similar kinds of knowledge buckets.

Value Space People Excellence

- It’s all about people! -

Where we are now….

Three domains

Make sure people can share & find explicit

knowledge

Automatic push of explicit knowledge based on peoples

profile or application preferences

Share good practices, find experts and ability to ask questions to them (from

tacit to explicit)

(1) People To Content

(2) Content To People (3) People To People
