Knowledge transfer has gained importance in the corporate culture. But many responsible people are asking themselves the question of a solution in the digital structure in order to "give knowledge a space" there as well. Learn more in this blog.
In an era of rapidly evolving technology and continuous change, the management of knowledge is a critical factor in the success of organisations. But how does one create the optimal framework to cultivate and utilise knowledge within a company? This question arises as a logical consequence when thinking about the possible applications of knowledge transfer. In times of digitalisation, the consequence on analogue solutions would be fatal. Consequently, knowledge should be bundled in a digital "place".
At U2D Aprenia, this resulted in the approach: "Giving knowledge a space in the company". This article is dedicated to the essential question of how companies can do justice to this approach and highlights the progressive role of Learning Experience Platforms (LXPs). The special focus is on U2D Aprenia, an LXP that paves the way for effective knowledge transfer.
Knowledge as the foundation of a company
The basic idea of "giving knowledge a space in the company" recognises that knowledge cannot simply be collected - it must be fostered and cultivated. Companies have immense amounts of knowledge - from expert knowledge to best practices. But this knowledge needs to be actively used and shared to create real added value. The idea behind the approach is to create a culture of learning and sharing in which every employee can develop their potential. The scenarios in which that knowledge is lost without continuous nurturing are numerous.
One is the sudden resignation of a long-time team member, which leads to the loss of important knowledge about processes and workflows without the use of a learning platform. The position can be filled quickly afterwards - but it takes time for the new employee to pick up on the know-how of the older generation, which is where the entrepreneurial phrase "time is money" comes into play once again. Implementing an LXP also means actively saving time and thus money.
Retirement wants to be planned - not only by the workforce looking forward to a well-deserved retirement. This case is especially relevant when it comes to the boomer generation, who are already leaving the labour market and will do so in the coming years. Demographics show that we will be in need of many new skilled workers. The so-called boomers shaped the labour market above all with their high work ethic. This often resulted in a very precisely structured way of working. If these highly qualified workers disappear, it will be difficult to fill the gap, not only against the background of the shortage of skilled workers. The qualitative component in know-how is likely to have a far more serious impact. You should already be thinking about how you can retain the knowledge of the boomers in the company.
Another worst-case scenario can be the sudden and prolonged absence of a team member. If someone is absent due to illness and as a result for a longer period of time, this can also lead to a decrease in the qualitative work performance of the affected team if the knowledge culture does not exist or is kept modern. It should be possible to fill a gap caused by illness at any time.
The examples make one thing clear: be it knowledge transfer, the promotion of know-how or social learning within the company. If worst-case scenarios are to be minimised and the knowledge is already available in the company, it needs a space where everyone can access its content and at any time. This is exactly why the use of LXPs is more important than ever!
The transformative power of Learning Experience Platforms
In the digital age, Learning Experience Platforms (LXPs) have taken knowledge management to a new level. Instead of traditional, one-way learning models, they offer personalised, interactive and collaborative learning experiences. The great strength of LXPs is their versatility. Providers like U2D can respond to the exact use cases of companies. LXPs create a space where knowledge is not only taught, but also applied and integrated into daily processes. They foster the intrinsic motivation of employees by allowing them to learn at their own pace and pursue their personal interests.
U2D Aprenia: The vision becomes reality
One LXP that takes this concept and makes it a reality is Aprenia by U2D. This platform represents the realisation of the approach "giving knowledge a space in the company". On the one hand, the sentence sounds like a promise, but it is the logical consequence of the characteristics of U2D Aprenia. The platform combines many approaches from the field of e-learning and thus creates an "all-round package" when it comes to covering the defined use cases. The focus is always on the company that wants to implement the LXP in order to digitally preserve and promote its knowledge pool. U2D Aprenia offers a wide range of tools and functions that bring this vision to life:
Personalised learning experiences
U2D Aprenia revolutionises the way employees learn by taking a personalised approach to knowledge delivery. Through careful analysis of learning preferences, historical progress and individual strengths, learning content is adapted in real time. For example, if employees prefer visual learning techniques, they are offered more videos and infographics, while someone with a text-based learning style is more likely to access written materials. This leads to a tailored learning experience that not only increases efficiency but also motivation to learn.
