\"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.\" - Benjamin Franklin<\/h5><\/blockquote><\/h2>\n

Each\u00a0employee\u00a0brings their own skill set and experiences that can be harnessed and molded into business\u00a0assets. Creating and cultivating a dynamic culture for team members is vital to a cohesive and collaborative workflow. Having knowledgeable staff is\u00a0invaluable in setting you apart from competitors, but the most critical part of staying one step ahead is to have your team sharing<\/em> their knowledge transparently with one another. Facilitating and promoting the business value of knowledge sharing and breaking down silos that stifle productivity is essential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What is the incentive for sharing?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Knowledge sharing boosts\u00a0team morale\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Having employees transparently share knowledge directly helps the team and \u00a0increases individual\u00a0morale. This also aids in preventing\u00a0redundant efforts across departments\u00a0and offices. Being able to verbally explain a concept (or in this case\u00a0spell out an explanation on an enterprise social network) to a fellow co-worker not only displays your personal thought leadership, but it also helps you proficiently grasp the concept. Sharing knowledge provides the opportunity for reciprocal exchange, empowering team expertise as a whole. Innovation and growth happen simultaneously with the exchange and flow of knowledge throughout your team. Housing\u00a0employee knowledge and skills in an enterprise social network ensures that their expertise is passed on to their colleagues and successors, such as\u00a0notes from a brainstorming session, training courses, or documents.<\/p>\n

Knowledge sharing is a time saver\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Why keep creating the wheel? Using an enterprise social network to house client deliverables and knowledge assets not only makes resources more\u00a0readily available for future projects, but it provides time-saving templates and great references for best practices.\u00a0Harnessing knowledge\u00a0saves time by allowing employees to quickly find\u00a0past approved final projects rather than continually recreating new deliverables without the benefit of past assets. Sharing and storing knowledge helps retain skills and experience that your business has invested in building\u00a0and can be reused for upcoming training and future projects or meetings.\u00a0Employee engagement and collaboration catapult with productivity enhanced by your company’s enterprise social network.\u00a0Exchanging expertise accelerates delivery\u00a0of projects to customers, providing the opportunity to add to your client portfolio of\u00a0success stories.<\/p>\n

Knowledge sharing\u00a0helps the entire team<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Day to day tasks can go unnoticed and unrecognized. Using an enterprise social network to showcase and display thought leadership across the team is a great way for coworkers and executives to see and monopolize on in-house expertise. Having the advantage of being able to find experts quickly on the network allows for projects and tasks to advance accurately and rapidly. Responding with helpful answers and asking questions that benefit the team helps build individual and personal brands while strengthening\u00a0the company brand. Regardless of the position with your organization, sharing helpful insights\u00a0places you in a leadership position.<\/p>\n

Leveraging\u00a0knowledge in the right way can help you run your business more efficiently, decrease business risks, and exploit opportunities to the fullest. Use knowledge to your advantage.\u00a0Offering an enterprise social network\u00a0provides the opportunity for a reciprocal exchange of knowledge which encourages\u00a0additions to a shared\u00a0knowledge library. There is no better way to grow your personal network and spread your influence than sharing your expertise.<\/p>\n
