Every time you return to this
page, the featured Knowledge
Collaborator changes so that
you get to know who is here
to help.
![Page 8: FedCASIC - Census.gov · 2016-02-26 · 1-year pilot COTS software – AskMe Enterprise 3 pilot communities •Project Management •Quality •Census Software Process Improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042414/5f2e88705de6cf41d5133504/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Knowledge Collaborators have profiles
in the System for users to browse. A
Knowledge Seeker may also choose to
provide profile information so that
anyone answering her question will have
a better understanding of her work.
![Page 9: FedCASIC - Census.gov · 2016-02-26 · 1-year pilot COTS software – AskMe Enterprise 3 pilot communities •Project Management •Quality •Census Software Process Improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042414/5f2e88705de6cf41d5133504/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Users are able to subscribe to
specific Communities (or sub-
communities) and automatically
receive new content on a regular
basis.

“My Settings” is used by
Knowledge Collaborators to let
users know when they are not
available to answer questions.
![Page 11: FedCASIC - Census.gov · 2016-02-26 · 1-year pilot COTS software – AskMe Enterprise 3 pilot communities •Project Management •Quality •Census Software Process Improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042414/5f2e88705de6cf41d5133504/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Click on “I want to: Ask a Question”
and you can direct a question to a
Knowledge Collaborator(s) and/or a
Community. The KC will receive a
notification in his Lotus Notes email.
You will receive a notification that
your question has been answered in
your email as well.

The question you asked will now appear
in your Activity Summary Bar. When

here as well (and you will be notified
via Lotus Notes).
KCs are also notified here of questions
they’ve been asked, and they receive a
message in their Lotus Notes.

WhoKnows
knowledgebase
and can be
accessed by others.

Lessons Learned
APQC Study helped in make-or-buy
decision
The term “expert” was a problem
Willing participants and Bureau-wide
programs were initial communities
Ease of access and use was important
Marketing played a key role in usage
