What is needed is a \"system that enables organizations to capture, analyze, share, apply, and reuse knowledge\" (Cho et al, 2000:2-6). Using a Knowledge Management framework presented by Cho and colleagues, this study will demonstrate a process to generate, organize, and develop expert knowledge as a means to minimize knowledge loss due to turnover. The methodology presented in this thesis is a four-step, tailored approach to identify tasks or processes important to the functioning of an organization, capture knowledge from experts pertaining to those tasks (generate content), convert that knowledge into a flowchart (organize content), and have experts critique the end product to ensure accuracy and usefulness (develop content).The methodology capitalizes on proven knowledge elicitation techniques for the generation of knowledge and a commercial-off-the-shelf software program, Microsoft Excel, for the organization and representation of knowledge in the form of a flowchart. The methodology is demonstrated on the process of crosschecking cost estimates and resulted in the creation of a procedural guide. This guide contains a flow chart representing the experts' approach to crosschecks, and hyperlinks to detailed knowledge sheets regarding each step.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46862458093719,"sku":"9781288307043","price":5118.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781288307043.webp?v=1769966289","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/knowledge-management-in-the-cost-analysis-knowledge-domain-generating-organizing-and-developing-knowledge-for-crosschecking-cost-estimates-9781288307043","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
