The challenge for many companies is to make the knowledge of their employees accessible in a targeted manner and to retain it within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where knowledge maps come into play. They make it possible to access existing knowledge quickly and efficiently and to promote the exchange of knowledge in a targeted manner. This article explains exactly what a knowledge map is, why it is strategically indispensable for companies and how it can improve knowledge structures.<\/p>\n\n  \n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"was\" class=\"container scrollsection\">\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a knowledge map and why is it valuable for companies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies have a wealth of knowledge, but this knowledge often remains \u201chidden\u201d in certain departments or with individual employees. Knowledge maps bring these \u201chidden treasures\u201d to light and make them strategically usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The knowledge map &#8211; more than just an organizational chart<\/h3>\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/great2know.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/gruppe-von-kollegen-im-meeting.jpg\" class=\"custom-image br--four\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/great2know.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/gruppe-von-kollegen-im-meeting.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/great2know.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/gruppe-von-kollegen-im-meeting-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/great2know.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/gruppe-von-kollegen-im-meeting-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/great2know.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/gruppe-von-kollegen-im-meeting-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A knowledge map goes far beyond a traditional organizational chart. While organizational charts often only depict formal positions and hierarchies, knowledge maps show who has what expertise and experience and where specific knowledge is anchored in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A knowledge map is not just a visual representation, but rather a strategic resource that supports the company in its day-to-day business. Knowledge maps help to capture knowledge in a structured way and pass it on to the right person at the right time. The decisive added value: the knowledge map focuses on skills and knowledge that also include implicit and context-related knowledge &#8211; something that conventional organizational charts do not depict. In this way, knowledge development can be promoted in a targeted manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group insert is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"h4 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e8bad9552d85ece62da9f968f419191 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>This might also interest you:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"custom-link has-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/great2know.de\/en\/blog\/understanding-implicit-and-explicit-knowledge\/\" target=\"\"><div>Understanding implicit and explicit knowledge<\/div><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 13\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M2 6.5H13.9759\" stroke=\"#111111\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><\/path><path d=\"M14.0006 6.5L10.0527 2\" stroke=\"#111111\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><\/path><path d=\"M14.0006 6.5L10.0527 11\" stroke=\"#111111\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Added value for companies &#8211; transparency, transfer and knowledge retention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eine Wissenslandkarte ist daher nicht nur eine Momentaufnahme von Wissensbest\u00e4nden, sondern ein leistungsf\u00e4higes Tool, das Transparenz schafft und den gezielten Einsatz von Wissen erm\u00f6glicht. Unternehmen profitieren in vielerlei Hinsicht:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fast knowledge transfer between employees:<\/strong> The knowledge map makes it possible to access the expertise of others in a targeted manner.

This makes the induction process more structured and less time-consuming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognizing knowledge gaps and targeted further training measures:<\/strong> The knowledge map shows where specific knowledge is missing or insufficient.

By taking targeted steps, knowledge maps can become a long-term success factor and an important knowledge resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify and document knowledge holders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step in creating a knowledge map is to identify and document the most important knowledge carriers in the company. These are often employees who have specific specialist knowledge, project knowledge or institutional experience that is valuable to the company. Identifying these key people is essential in order to break down <a href=\"https:\/\/great2know.de\/en\/solutions\/head-monopolies\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"758\">head monopolies<\/a> and structure knowledge in a targeted manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tips for identifying and documenting key knowledge carriers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transparent structure:<\/strong> Also note the availability and substitution of knowledge carriers to ensure knowledge in the event of illness or vacation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interviews and surveys:<\/strong> Conduct interviews with department heads and colleagues to identify the key knowledge carriers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Competency overview:<\/strong> Document the core competencies of each knowledge holder to create a well-founded knowledge map.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Define and network knowledge topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For complete knowledge carrier maps, it is important to clearly name and structure the existing knowledge topics. This makes it possible to link knowledge carriers and topics in such a way that knowledge can be transferred quickly and easily. In this way, the company&#8217;s knowledge assets are visualized as a kind of map that employees can use to find their way around and seek help directly if they have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of structured topic networking:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easier navigation:<\/strong> employees find relevant topics more quickly and can access the expertise they need in a targeted manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interdisciplinary connections:<\/strong> Networking can create valuable synergies between departments and teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optimized further development:<\/strong> The knowledge map helps to identify knowledge gaps at an early stage and close them in a targeted manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure up-to-dateness and maintain knowledge map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eine Wissenslandkarte ist nur so wertvoll wie ihre Aktualit\u00e4t. Daher ist es entscheidend,sie regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu pflegen und neue Informationen zeitnah einzupflegen. So bleibt das Unternehmenswissen immer auf dem neuesten Stand und bietet langfristig einen Mehrwert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measures to ensure that it is up to date:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regular review:<\/strong> Plan regular updates to the knowledge map, ideally every six months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set up feedback loops:<\/strong> Encourage knowledge carriers to update changes or new findings independently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Define responsibilities:<\/strong> Assign people responsible for maintaining the knowledge map to ensure continuity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"container has-background has-white-background-color ip--small br--four has-border\">\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Important:<\/mark> A well-maintained knowledge map not only facilitates the general transfer of knowledge.
