Abstract: Abstract Holcim is one of the world’s leading producers of cement and aggregates with operating units in around 2,000 locations worldwide. Enhancing and sharing knowledge gained in one unit can impact the profitability of the entire Group. Holcim iShare makes Group knowledge easily accessible. Documented knowledge is captured in the Holcim iShare library where documents can be found with a simple, free-text search. To share the knowledge in the heads of our people Holcim iShare Networks have been developed as global communities where people meet virtually around topics of common interest. Both, the library and the networks reside on Holcim’s intranet. Holcim iShare has proven to provide value – in terms of time, money and quality of task fulfillment.
