Delivering high quality, customer-focused transportation services is difficult. Transit authority management teams and their boards of directors struggle with balancing long-term strategic and financial planning issues, such as routing, fleet composition and replacement, capital investment decisions, and sources of funding, with short-term issues, such as labor/workforce problems and customer services complaints.
Often, the difference between success and failure boils down to knowledge. Knowledge management (KM) is the field that delivers strategies, business processes, information architectures, organizational change management, and leading technology tools for managing knowledge. When done correctly, KM can enhance customer satisfaction, reduce costs, shorten business process cycle times, ensure compliance, and improve decision making.
