Knowledge Management is the foundation of the MindCooker methodology. Users can share and manage knowledge within a collaborative framework, capitalizing on each other’s experience and know-how to respond to their own needs more efficiently and effectively.

Knowledge Management empowers users to create meaningful sets of information and deliver them to the right targets through the appropriate formats in just few simple steps. MindCooker Knowledge Management offers the following capabilities:

Organize knowledge: Organize meaningful information objects in into a knowledge base (like a virtual library) for reuse whenever and wherever applicable. A Meaningful Knowledge Object is a collection of inter-related content pages with certain interactivity and objective. A combination of one or more meaningful knowledge objects makes up a complete meaningful information set (courses, online manual, a complete sales book, ...)

Share/Reuse content:

• Reuse available information sets for new target groups, needs or publishing media:
    - Modify/update content: Insert images, update figures, modify paragraphs, insert evaluations, edit exercises, attach data sheets, etc
      - Change appearance and layout.
      - Adapt interactivity and navigation.
• Reuse meaningful knowledge objects to create larger meaningful sets of knowledge (sales books, courses, intranets, etc).

Attach meta-tags: Attach descriptive tags to the meaningful knowledge objects and sets (description, keywords, author, publishing date, etc).

Version control: Strict control of versions and their components to protect control integrity.

Manage content lifecycle: Automate workflow, from creation to distribution, eliminating disconnects.

Role-based access: Different users have different access levels.

Integration with existing systems: Seamless integrate with existing systems and applications, based on international and open standards, for overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Consistent searching and browsing

Benefits

• Extremely facilitates the creation and delivery of meaningful sets of information by enabling users to build upon each other’s experience.
  
  
• Enables subject matter experts- instructors, marketers, etc- to fully concentrate on delivering their added-value and know-how rather than wasting time formatting pages or communicating with technical specialists. They also gain much more autonomy and reactivity in responding to arising needs.
  
  
• Promotes exchange and collaboration all across the organisation.
  
  
• Ensures that content is future-proof against advances in technology, changes in the “look & feel” or evolutions in the publishing media.
  
  
• Maximizes the value quality and longevity of knowledge assets while minimizing the complexity to maintain it.
