Investing in employees through effective knowledge sharing
Effective knowledge sharing drives business value for large organizations while building a strong culture for employees.
Over the past few years, businesses have experienced change and disruption like never before. Distributed and hybrid work environments have become the norm, attracting and retaining talent continue to be a challenge, and industries across the board are being strained from influences outside their control. All of this comes at a time when innovation and speed-to-market are critical for organizational growth.
Employees, shaken by the events of the last 18 months, are also rethinking their priorities, their relationship to work, and their expectations around remote and distributed work. As hybrid work environments, remote teams, and asynchronous collaboration become the norm for most knowledge industries, strategies for collaborating and working more effectively are changing.
Organizations that have adapted well to these changes are now prioritizing investment in building a foundation for a knowledge sharing culture.

Knowledge Sharing vs Knowledge Management
You may be familiar with the term “knowledge management.” Knowledge sharing is the evolution of knowledge management. Knowledge management systems are a rigid, structured legacy model of organizing knowledge that’s centered on the technology. Knowledge sharing platforms are different as they’re built to be centered on people first: they’re built to be flexible, transparent, and organic.
