Knowledge management

Op initiatief van de R&D afdeling van MARS Nederland, organiseert Frismakers op 19 december (12-16 uur) een expert sessie. Aanleiding is dat MARS haar eigen Knowledge management voor R&D wil optimaliseren en hierbij zich graag laat inspireren door de collega’s van ABN AMRO, CGI en Shell. We zijn deze middag te gast bij Ricoh Nederland en deelname is op uitnodiging.

Expert session Knowledge management
Knowledge management is a smart combination of cultural value’s, online community building, on- and offline learning and document management. This Xpert session is initiated by Mars Netherlands, to optimize their Sharepoint environment and knowledge sharing between the R&D departments around the world.

The R&D division of Mars, responsible for products such as Snickers® and Twix®, operates from nine locations spread across the world. This has grown historically and is advantageous because it provides optimal connectivity to the markets. The downside is that knowledge exchange between different R&D departments is not self-evident. Nancy Ketelaars (Standardization program leader Snickers® and Twix®) recognizes this and has asked Frismakers to think about how knowledge management within the R&D organization can be further improved.
