Most companies treat Knowledge Management as a filing cabinet. We treat it as a product. The MVP KM™ consulting process ensures your team has the right knowledge at the right time, without the bloat.
Phase 1: Strategy (Weeks 1-4)
Step 1: Strategic Audit and Roadmap
Conduct a high-impact audit to identify the "critical 20%" of content and establish baseline ROI metrics like Time-to-Proficiency.
Use the KMS Requirement Template and Selection Scorecard to evaluate your tech stack and perform a "Cost of Inaction" assessment to secure leadership buy-in.
Deliver a concrete MVP Roadmap for transitioning to an optimized knowledge engine.
Phase 2: Execution (Weeks 5-10)
Step 2: Design Agile Governance and Empower the MVP KM Squad
Replace bureaucratic boards with a streamlined KM Governance Committee and formalize an official charter for the Knowledge Owner using our Modular Charter Template.
Define clear workflows for Users, Contributors, Curators, and Coordinators, reframing these as leadership development opportunities.
Develop a communication guide to ensure program transparency and position the MVP Squad to lead the modernization effort.
Step 3: Workflow Modernization & Single Source Design
Implement strategies to capture "shadow knowledge" and updates directly within the flow of work.
Establish AI-assisted workflows to eliminate SME bottlenecks.
Build a "Single Source" blueprint that to make it easier to find and maintain all CX knowledge.
Step 4: Content Refactoring and Ecosystem Integration
Develop and deploy a style guide to lower contribution barriers.
Refactor dense manuals into scannable, chunked content optimized for both humans and Large Language Models (LLMs).
Implement the MVP KB, improve system taxonomy and structure, and seamlessly integrate the knowledge base into your CRM or ticketing system to eliminate "swivel-chair" workflows.
Phase 3: Scale (Week 11-12)
Step 5: Kaizen Cadence and Executive Reporting
Establish a KM Health Cadence to monitor vital signals—like failed searches and negative feedback—to proactively close knowledge gaps.
Deploy a visual MVP Dashboard to track high-level metrics like Ticket Deflection ROI and Content Health, providing the C-suite with consistent proof of business value.
