after their customer survey feedback is analysed that the organisation is even aware they have a
problem in their communication system (specifically, their telephone service).
Management had assumed communication was sufficient and the information provided to its clients was
satisfactory. In reality, their customers feel frustrated when trying to get through as they are constantly
being put on hold and then still have to go through the main switchboard before being connected to the
area they need to liaise with.

Organisational implications of new legislative requirements may fail the objectives required
to undertake a management system learning activity when there are faults in the plan or
procedure, lack of training for employees in this area and/or outdated information.

Question 4
Solution:

It is paramount because:-
- So that priority is allocated to the training
- So the trainee understands organisational involvement in the training
- So all involved understand that there is a likelihood of future training, and
- In order to fully explain the extent of training required

Question 5
Solution:

Support and promotion of an organisation’s management system learning activities can have
a positive impact on customer service expectation by:
• Helps to maintain processes
• Standardises customer service standards
• Allows for customer service feedback
• Maintains staff morale and public perception
• Eliminates problems around customer information
• Enhances customer relationships

Question 6
Solution:

The main objectives are:


• To limit the policies to the key determinants of quality
• To ensure consistency with the vision, mission and values
• To consider legislative requirements
• To focus on assisting good quality decision-making rather than controlling
• To ensure required staff and managerial behaviour is included

Question 7
Solution:

They might review:


• When assessing the effectiveness of the information system

• Information privacy laws


• Online privacy laws
Question 9
Solution:

The alignment and integration of data into knowledge or information systems allows the
organisation to establish who owns and controls what information. Therefore it is important
that information levels are established to assist in recognising the ownership and distinguish
the information content.
Solution for dealing with integration issues would be using proxy services. Proxy services are
an established technique for ‘hiding’ various incompatibilities. A proxy service is a software
layer that is designed to access heterogeneous components of a complex knowledge system.

Question 10
Solution:

It is important in order to:


• determine if there is a performance gain/loss against historical data
• determine what future performance indicators need to be developed
• highlight organisational performance benchmarks to allow for true analyses

• Staff involvement in the design of usable systems
• Improved in-house internet (intranet)

Question 12
Solution:

The management system can be benchmarked against criteria and a determination can be
made as to the overall effectiveness of the system. The management system benchmarks
objectives can be reviewed to ensure the implementation of the system addresses
performance issues.

Question 13
Solution:

When assessing a system’s effectiveness an organisation may need to identify the:


• number of entries
• time of entries
• location and time of use
• performance gains/losses against historical data
• data redundancies and relevance
• data errors

• system or process speed.


Components of an AAR include:
• What was supposed to happen?
This highlights your organisation’s performance benchmarks to allow the analyst to gain a
true comparison. Were the benchmarks an accurate reflection of organisational policy and
direction?
• What happened?
This is a review that focuses on what actually happened. Did the process or action reach the
targets the organisation had set? Were the targets achievable and relevant? This allows for
mapping of the shortfalls in desired performance.
• Why did it happen that way?
If managed effectively, this step allows the review team to brainstorm, develop a concept
map and draw knowledge from the data. Both positive and negative aspects of what
happened are analysed.
• What did we learn from this?
This step allows for retrospective analysis and data mining. Critical knowledge gaps,
strengths and limitations can be quickly identified and assigned to the appropriate personnel
for further development.

Question 14
Solution:

• There may be changes to policy and procedure.


• The change may be critical to achieving the organisation’s goals.
• Significant risks are involved.
• There are legislative or compliance issues.
• Standardisation or consistency is at risk.
• There is confusion about the best way to approach a task.

Question 15
Solution:

New labour law may be introduced and it will impact the organisational human resources
and hence, operations. To ensure that its management system is dealing with it, the
organisation must ensure that information about company changes are communicated and
given as early as possible to enable people to contribute to change before decisions are
made. Lateral communication should be improved. Cross-functional links should be
developed, and staff mobility should be encouraged.

Question 16
Solution:

a. Suggest three ways that the company could manage the problem with its
telephone system.

Ways to manage the problem are by asking questions such as:


• Review the system. Could a more-automated system be used?
• Do staff need training in the system?
• Is there adequate staffing for the number of calls?
• Do other stakeholders need training in the system?

b. List three ways you would assess the learning needs of the personnel who answer
the phone.

Introduction:
The knowledge management processes maximize the valuable knowledge assets through the
different process such as collaboration, discussions and knowledge sharing. Apart from that, the
knowledge management process includes the generation codification for developing tacit
knowledge explicit which is quite similar to the database, rules and procedures. On another
hand the knowledge management process also improves the application, storing, mapping,
sharing and transfer. It has been observed that knowledge management process will make the

thing easier in BizOps Enterprises. It has been observed that information management system
helps to improve information storing, database management, mapping, sharing and transfer the
files of customers. Therefore the customer care executives can handle the old data of the
customers and serve them as well. The information management system in a BizOps company
is necessary as it helps in organising for managing the effectiveness. The information
management system is comprised of certain policies andprocedures which are carried by the
organisation for gaining maximum benefit. Customer relation management is maintaining by the
organisation for gaining the trust of customers.
The Customer relationship management system can help BizOps Enterprises in dealing with
customer relationship which is required in dealing with the new upcoming goals. The information
management system can help in collecting accurate data that are required for analysing the
necessities based on it further strategic decisions are made. Customers can provide their proper
input which helps the BizOps Enterprises in mandating CRS.The study focuses on managing
the information and knowledge system within the organization thereby relating it its major
components. Further, three members of the organisation are chosen for improving the
information system. Various performance measures of the management system are taken into
account thereby calculating their effectiveness to identify the results better.
Performance measures:

The performance measure is considered as an activity which ensures that the performance of
the employees can fulfil the requirement of BizOps Enterprises.
The human resource management often monitors and evaluate the performance of the
employees based on work target and timescale. They have converted the employee
performance into graphical form and understand the performance of the employees are going
upward or downward. It has been observed that market research team has implemented two
different data collection techniques such as qualitative and quantitative. The research and
product development team has implemented the qualitative research process by conducting an
interview with the managers of the other company. On another hand, they have conducted the
quantitative data collection by conducting the survey process among the respondents such as
customers, employees or any group of people.
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is considered as a business matric which is used to evaluate
the factors which are crucial to the success of the BizOps Enterprises. KPI is generally net
revenue or a customer loyalty metric.

Implementation of policies and procedure:

To ensure the implementation of policies and procedure in BizOps Enterprises, the information
or KMS are monitored for compliance, effectiveness and efficiency by ensuring draft is created,

There has been an increase in the manufacturing defect rate of several of BizOps signature
products due to the following management issues such as; too many disparate information
management system, sharing of passwords and access into BizOps networks without
permission, Issues related to employee privacy, security of company records, No integration of
coordination between information systems, A range of legacy systems are in need of either an
upgrade or replacement, No clear strategic direction for the overall technology environment,
Limited and patchy adoption of existing information systems by staff, Poor quality of information,
including lack of consistency, duplication, and outof-date information, No recognition and
support of information management by senior management, Difficulties in changing staff
working practices and processes, Limited learning opportunities, No contingencies for system
failure.

Address implementation issues and problems as they arise:


When implementing and developing policies and procedures for monitoring the organisation’s
information or knowledge management system, there are several main questions that we as a
manager need to ask:
• Where is monitoring required?
• What is most important to our organisation?
• What is happening and what should be happening?
• Is action necessary?
• What actions should we take?

Analysing and reporting on system effectiveness:

Performance measurement is generally considered as a regular measurement of the output of


the BizOps Enterprises. The regular output generates reliable data about effectiveness and
efficiency of the performance. The organization has considered the human resource, employee
time and financial resource as a main input of the organization. After monitoring process and
evaluation process, the managers have developed a report based on the performance
improvement or performance decrease. Therefore this report expresses the efficiency and
effectiveness of the system of BizOps Enterprises.

Key Solution for BizOps Enterprises Issues:

The report structure is based on the issues of the BizOps Enterprises and the experts also
provide a necessary solution based on that report such as providing a secure backup for all
records, developing policies and procedures governing regular backup of data, training at least
two personnel in the key elements of information management, encouraging staff to offer
suggestions to improve record storage, reviewing procedures to improve efficiency, surveying
stakeholders to assess their information requirements, Involving staff in system design, fostering
a knowledge sharing culture or by simplifying information storage requirements.

Ensure systems outcome achieve business, strategic and operational plans:

It has been observed that the business plan of the BizOps Enterprises is based on the goals of
the organization. The marketing managers have identified the goals of BizOps Enterprises and
develop different objectives. The reason for developing objectives is that the managers have to
fulfil different small goals to achieve the desired goal of the BizOps Enterprises.The managers
have selected strategic plan and selected desire aim for the BizOps Enterprises. After that, the
managers have divided the aim into small objectives. Therefore it will be easier to fulfil small
objectives rather than a large goal.The planning and development managers have selected a
goal based on the internal analysis. After that, they have broken the goal into small objectives.
Therefore, the planning and development department has to implement a new strategic
plan which will fulfil the objectives.

Conclusion:
It can be concluded that the information management system in BizOps Enterprises can be
raised which helps in conducting such records that are needed in managing the proper
requirements in an advanced way. The CRM helps in managing customer relationship because

Recommendations:
Knowledge management can provide organisations with a competitive advantage if information
is used effectively to create tangible and relevant knowledge. From an operational perspective,
senior managers need to ascertain whether the use of the information and the knowledge
applied is actually achieving the objectives set out during the planning phase. To do this,
relevant organisational benchmarks must be set and then monitored, controlled and reviewed
for effectiveness.

meetings will allow all staff members to
understand the new processes being put in place.
Intranet Advertising the changes taking place on the
company’s intranet provides information for staff
members.
Flyers on noticeboards Advertising the changes taking place for anyone
who does not access the intranet ensures all staff,
no matter what their role, are aware of the
changes.
Information/training sessions If the system is a new one, group information or
training sessions could provide information on the
system and a demonstration of how it works
