KCS Practice 3 Techniques

Knowledge Workers must adopt the behavior to search the knowledge base first when beginning to address an issue or question.

Technique 3.1: Search Early Search Often

The shared repository of knowledge, usually called a knowledge base, becomes an integral part of customer interactions. If content has been correctly authored with the user's description of the issues, then searching with the user's words will return results if the issue is already known.

Technique 3.2: Seek to Understand What We Collectively Know

Leverage collective experience, stored as existing content in a central knowledge repository, to enable more efficient issue resolution. Work In Progress articles are visible to all who work in a given domain. Teach people how to search effectively.

Technique 3.3: Linking

Connect issue resolution records (tickets, cases) to KCS articles to measure usage and inform efforts during Evolve Loop activities. Measure article links over time to demonstrates KCS process adoption and success metrics.
