Collaboration & Knowledge Management

What We Do


First, Cadence Group’s KM consultants and information specialists work with your management team to develop a KM strategy based on strategic business goals and information objectives.


Cadence Group analyzes the flow of information throughout your business – how you acquire, store, produce, disseminate and use information. We conduct an extensive evaluation and analysis of current organizational data and information; knowledge creation processes; data storage, retrieval, analysis, and utilization; management practices and processes; and technology assets across the organization and its subsidiaries. Then, we re-engineer business processes, helping you to leverage data analytics and visualization to maximize the efficiency of your operations and output and to incorporate the capture and sharing of best practices and information about projects, people and industries.


Our information professionals develop taxonomies, metadata and content acquisition and publishing procedures to organize and disseminate mission-critical information.


Cadence Group promotes and builds the awareness of KM disciplines within your organization, and trains your employees to use new procedures that effectively capture, store, use and share information.  As a result, employees share their knowledge across the organization by simply tagging and storing information on intranets, portals, or expert knowledge bases.


Cadence Group objectively consults on the selection of knowledge and information management products.

We do not sell these products. Instead, we offer you an unbiased approach to software evaluation, partnering with you to select the best technology available for your environment, and fully leveraging your current technology to constrain costs. Our consultants lead and/or facilitate the steps necessary to help your organization select the best product, with the greatest return on investment. As part of our software evaluation process, we:

  • Gather and Prioritize Business Requirements
  • Combine with Industry Standards/Requirements for software
  • Build a Request for Proposal (RFP)
  • Identify Key Vendors to Respond to RFP
  • Guide Qualitative and Quantitative for Evaluation and Selection
  • Oversee the Implementation, Rollout, and Training


How We Do It

Information and internal knowledge are key strategic assets for every organization.  Therefore, companies must invest in their greatest asset—by developing and implementing world-class strategies for identifying, developing and applying the knowledge assets they own– a process known as knowledge management.  With this foundation in place, employees will be able to learn, create new knowledge, and innovate faster than competitors.

Knowledge Management (KM) solutions facilitate decision-making processes and eliminate duplication of effort by improving information capture, organization and sharing. Our solutions range from high-level strategy development to categorizing and organizing information.

Benefits to building a foundation

There are several benefits to investing in change and knowledge management:

  • Sharing best practices and “re-using” information means individuals are not starting from ground zero.
  • Improving response time to both internal and external customers
  • Enabling innovative processes via collaboration

Examples

We consulted with a large Human Services Non-profit to help them assess their library and information management practices and build a vision. They reinvented their organization as a premier provider of knowledge products and services.


A federally funded corporation engaged Cadence Group to assess the state of their information management processes, recommend best practices, and develop a SharePoint Governance Plan and legacy migration strategy to reach Compliance.

At a Fortune 500 telecommunications company, Cadence Group developed strategic plans and managed the businesses technology and security solutions, communications, training, and day-to-day operations for the knowledge resource center
