ONE KNF – Stronger Together
With digitalization comes rapid change. Anyone who doesn’t want to be left behind by digital progress has to keep pace, or – even better – always be one step ahead. Change also brings great opportunity, after all. Digitalization is making tasks more complex while simultaneously shortening processes. Higher expectations are constantly placed on managers and employees alike. The classical leadership model of “the boss decides and the team executes” is no longer in keeping with the times because it does not fully harness the potential of the staff. Experts and persons with unique skill sets are the key productive forces today. Accordingly, perfect leadership during this period of digital change is seen wherever leaders support the skills and talents of their staff as best they can and organize them creatively. In the digital world, the role of an executive has been transformed to that of a mediating, inspiring coach who sets goals and suggests possible approaches, and who trusts in the self-organization, initiative and creativity of employees.
This can only work if a company networks and remains open – both inwardly and outwardly. Joint knowledge management is fundamental in this context because it enables mutual knowledge sharing, in turn allowing for innovative concepts to be developed and customer-oriented processes to be shaped more quickly and more transparently. This boosts the efficiency of internal processes and maintains staff motivation, as it strengthens the accountability of each and every employee and encourages them to procure and provide knowledge. When other people’s knowledge is appreciated, everyone benefits, and the sense of community within the company family is strengthened.
A decentralized organization offers advantages and at the same time it creates conflict. The common goal is to coordinate and connect local and global structures and interests, to use synergies and to improve agility.
The ONE KNF concept means that everyone around the world can access their colleagues’ knowledge – everything is shared and everyone can learn from each other. ONE KNF stands for open, agile and transparent collaboration and project management using digital communication platforms, establishing internal and external interconnection with tools such as Microsoft Office 365 and the KNF Campus. ONE KNF also means that everyone is important and everyone has something to contribute.
For our customers, ONE KNF means receiving the same level of service anywhere in the world, fast response times and solution oriented thinking, as well as continued market leadership in terms of technology and customer orientation. KNF may be an international company, but we are still just one big family at our customers’ service.
