Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS) Workshop

Learn the Strategic Principles and Benefits of Knowledge-Centered Support

Whether you provide technical support, customer service or corporate help desk services, you are under constant pressure to improve productivity and deliver on your service level commitments. Our comprehensive Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS) workshop will help you achieve these goals.

Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS) is a business methodology that was developed and tested by members of the Consortium for Service Innovation™ (CSI). It is a “just-in-time” approach to knowledge management that integrates knowledge capture and maintenance into the problem solving process. The knowledge that is created improves internal efficiency as well as customer success on the web. The fundamental goal of KCS is to solve a problem once and use the solution repeatedly. Organizations have shown that adoption of KCS can improve operational efficiency, customer satisfaction and employee morale. This two and a half day workshop examines the need for a Knowledge-Centered Support strategy, the organizing principles of KCS and the benefits that it delivers.
