Step by step to your own knowledge platform (Part 1): choosing the core topics

In today’s digital world, access to information is crucial for business success. Collecting, organizing and sharing knowledge efficiently is a challenge for many companies. A company knowledge platform, often called a wiki, helps bundle knowledge and make it usable.

What content belongs in a knowledge platform?

Company processes and rules are a natural starting point: who does what, when and with whom? Employee information, product and service information, project documentation, FAQs and training materials can also be stored centrally. The goal is to make relevant information easy to find and reusable in everyday work.
