Introduction
In the early to mid 1980s, KPMG developed a unique vision about knowledge
management captured in their concept of a Shadow Partner.
Supporting clients was not just a job for people but one that required integrating
human and computer activity.
KPMG needed to integrate and evolve their knowledge management system to
support their decision needs.
Unfortunately, that vision was not executed at the time, and KPMG went from
one limited knowledge management system (K-Man) to 64 country-specific
disparate systems.
K-World
They finally developed an integrated system with locally and globally managed
knowledge. Called K-World.
KPMG has invested over a year and $100 million in revenues in developing its
universally accessible knowledge-sharing environment
The main objective of K-World was enhancing knowledge sharing and
collaboration between KPMG partners, employees and clients.
They wanted to leverage the intellectual capital of everyone in KPMG and enable
practitioners to better serve their clients locally and globally,
K-World
K-World will let KPMG workers conduct active conferences and public
exchanges, locate customized and filtered external and internal news, and access
global- and country-specific firm information.
Its implementation was so successful at integrating the system into their
professionals work.
Knowledge Management technology has been used within KPMG to facilitate
transformation from localized collaboration to global collaboration capabilities
