Management

The
fact that the Baby Boomer demographic bulge is now
reaching retirement age means that a lot of experience
is about to migrate out of a huge variety of corporate
environments. In response to  this
we have developed "knowledge management"
systems which will connect a number of different information
repositories in order to provide access to knowledge
"just in time" as it is needed by an employee.
The key to a successful operation is no longer having
information, but converting it into something that
is useful.
Praxis knowledge management systems can track and
respond to an employee's actions in different contexts
in order to maximize busines performance. For example,
a process sensitive help
system could be coupled to a Distributed Control System
(DCS) to provide context-sensitive help and feedback
to the operator, detecting errors which might normally
be apparent when it is too late.
The
main features of Praxis On-Line Process Sensitive
Help are:
Knowledge integration This means that the knowledge
of experienced employees and any variety of
reference tools is stored and managed in an
easily accessible format. Stored information
could  be
Standard Operating Procedures, corporate policies,
P&IDs, or drawings.
Context sensitive The system relies on context
to retrieve the right information at the right
times. The computer system will gather information
based on the user's situation, needs, activity,
status, and computer sophistication. This context
provides a filter to ensure relevance.
Internet/Intranet Architecture Knowledge Management
Systems are Java based and highly object oriented.
They are scalable, which means that a basic
system could be installed immediately and new
features or components can be installed as they
are needed (or as funds become available). This
type of architecture also means that the system
is collaborative, people can work together to
perform a task or solve a problem even if they
are physically located in different places.

Praxis
Declares War on Boredom!
|
|
We
want to teach people what they don't
know, not what they already know.
We also know that everyone's knowledge
is different. So why is it that
most companies attempt to teach
everyone in exactly the same way?

|
| Praxis
believes that a good teacher should
start by asking the learner questions,
until they build a map of what the
learner already knows. |
