Why is It Important?
KM = Competitive Advantage
Raw Data collection•Inconsistent collection•Lack of standardization•Data Accuracy
Processing raw data into knowledge•Data Interpretation•Data Relevancy•Large and complex knowledge base
Contextual Knowledge distribution•Ease of Access•Ability of the data to support/deny hypotheses
Rough Information Ecosystem
What do consultants carry?
What is coming tomorrow?
What do I want to do?
• Explore the application of latest technologies to develop a product that enhances knowledge management within financial consultancies.
• Precedents…
Early Concept 1 – Bridging existing systems
Raw Data collection Processing raw data into knowledge Contextual Knowledge distribution
• A handheld device that incorporates a variety of technologies to store, process and display knowledge.
Early Concept 2 – The KM room (Projected interactive knowledge systems)
• A singular desktop projected onto the surfaces within a space. Users can create their own work piles or work upon new projects. Sharing work is as easy as passing a piece of paper on to the next user.
