The Rest of the Story...
In 2000, just after the Chevron and Texaco merger, we faced many integration challenges. One of the most critical was sharing knowledge between Chevron’s five existing domestic refineries and eight new international refineries acquired from Caltex.

We developed a global knowledge base (Lotus Notes in those days) to share our vast best practices library. We also had to find a way for the new refineries to tap into our collective expertise to provide quick answers to operating problems. We added a sophisticated Q&A/Discussion component. Over 2,000 plant supervisors and engineers could get quality answers to their problems in hours not days. Each of the participants provided a profile listing the processes or equipment that they knew about. This helped for outreach when a refinery was facing an urgent problem. Our first expertise directory!

We built cost and time-savings into the application and used this to document over $100 million in cost savings in the first eight years of use. It was a huge success! I have now replicated many of these features in a SharePoint site. An example is shown on the left side of the page.

I will soon be offering a free demo site containing many of my KM tools and publications using a simplified version of the site. It will work on SharePoint 365 and 2013.
