TWI has won a Vision 100 award for JoinIT®, its knowledge management system.
With 3250 industrial Member companies in 68 countries, keeping in touch with everyone is a formidable task. TWI therefore constructed an on-line knowledge database, allowing member companies to view the corporate knowledge gleanedfrom more than 50 years of trading.
This method of transferring important technical detail to a wide audience so impressed the judges of the BT-sponsored Vision 100 awards that TWI was selected from 2700 companies as having the best approach to knowledge management.Sir Peter Bonfield, one of the judges, said 'Vision 100 set out to stimulate the imagination of senior decision-makers and show how leading-edge communications solutions can address key business issues and transform the way we work.'In judging TWI, another judge commented. 'This Company has complete clarity about the business it is in and how knowledge management can achieve the results it needs.'
The JoinIT® database is built of frequently asked questions on joining, knowledge summaries, best practice guides plus interactive 'toolkits' giving practical answers to any problem in joining. Furthermore, companies can electto take the knowledge management system into their Intranet adding their own corporate knowledge to give a comprehensive reference library to all their engineers.
