Empowering Businesses with Operational Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge Transfer Software
In an exclusive interview on the Software Spotlight podcast, Greg DeVore, CEO of ScreenSteps, unveiled his company's innovative approach to streamlining knowledge transfer within organizations. The vision? “Imagine having all of your company's knowledge at your employees' fingertips, reducing mistakes and boosting productivity.”
ScreenSteps aims to empower employees by providing them with instant access to the operational knowledge they need to excel in their roles. By capturing and organizing this knowledge in a user-friendly format, the company aims to reduce mistakes, boost productivity, and foster a culture of continuous learning.
The Find and Follow Framework: A Comprehensive Methodology
At the heart of ScreenSteps' solution lies the “Find and Follow” framework, a comprehensive methodology designed to identify and document the specific tasks, questions, and problems employees face in their day-to-day operations. Devore said, “The ones that apply the full framework versus just creating a bunch of documentation have vastly different outcomes.”
Devore noted “A key part of that framework, the framework is called find and follow. A key part of that is identifying what exactly an employee needs to do. A lot of customers come to us and they say, okay, we know everything they need to know, but they haven't done an analysis of what the employee needs to be able to do independently.” He went on to say “So the first thing is once again, going back to that workshop, if we've identified the questions that the employee's having and we match the digital guides to those questions, we're so much closer to having something that they want and will use.”
DeVore emphasized the importance of this step, noting that often only 25-50% of the knowledge required for an employee to perform their job independently is documented. The framework ensures that the captured knowledge is tailored to the employee's needs, and presented in a digestible format with visuals, decision trees, and step-by-step guides.
