  12. Knowledge Management (KM) and CRM • Knowledge Management (KM) – directed process of figuring out what information a company has that could benefit others in the company, the devising ways of making it easily available • Companies integrate their CRM systems with KM because they realize that knowledge plays a key role in CRM success. • Creating a Knowledge Management System: • Recognize what employees know, that is valuable and not being shared • Create formal procedures to implement the system • Create a knowledgebase including best practices, expertise directories, and market intelligence • Make the knowledge available to people that need it • Give employees incentives for both sharing their knowledge as well as using others’ knowledge

  13. Identifying Knowledge to Manage • Skills and knowledge that a company has developed about how to make its goods and services • Individual employees or groups of employees whose knowledge is deemed critical to a company’s continued success • A company’s aggregation of documents about processes, customers, research results, and other information that might have value for a competitor

  14. Reasons for Knowledge Management Systems • Sharing of best practices • Restructuring, downsizing, and outsourcing • Knowledge can command a premium price in the market • Globalization and competition • Successful innovation

  15. Obstacles to Successful Knowledge Management • Starting too big • Relying on technological shortcuts • Not modeling the behavior • Treating KM as a one-off project or quick-win • Ignoring the power of rewards • Ongoing maintenance
