Organizational Competence Building

Knowledge worker value assurance traceability—building internal capability, not dependency

The Consulting Trap

Traditional consulting creates dependency: experts arrive, deliver insights, then leave. Six months later, the organization faces a new problem and calls the consultant again. The knowledge never transferred; the capability never developed.

Our Approach

We build organizational competence—not just deliver projects. Every engagement includes structured capability transfer:

  • →Training programs that teach methodologies, not just tools
  • →Co-development of models with your team, ensuring they understand the architecture
  • →Certification programs that validate competence against industry standards
  • →Knowledge traceability systems that preserve institutional memory

Training Programs Delivered

National Air Force (South America)

RAM modeling for aircraft fleet management

Built internal capability to forecast fleet availability and optimize maintenance strategies

National Navy (South America)

Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) for naval vessels

Developed competence in failure mode analysis and preventive maintenance optimization

Major National Oil Company

Asset integrity and risk-based inspection

Transferred methods for API 579 fitness-for-service assessments

Major Regional Utility

Enterprise-wide RAM modeling for hydropower systems

Established LineaBaseV methodology and certified internal RAM modeling team

SMRP Certification Leadership

Knar Global was instrumental in developing the first SMRP (Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals) certified professionals in Colombia—establishing a national competence baseline for reliability engineering and asset management.

This achievement reflects our commitment to institutional capability building that outlasts individual projects.

Kwvaat™: Knowledge Worker Value Assurance Traceability

Proprietary Platform

Kwvaat™ is Knar Global's competence tracking system that ensures organizational knowledge is:

  • Traceable: Every decision, model, or analysis is linked to the individual who created it and the methodology used
  • Validated: Competence is verified through structured assessments, not just job titles or years of experience
  • Persistent: When team members leave, their knowledge contributions remain accessible and understandable
  • Evolutionary: Models and methods are documented in ways that allow future teams to extend them

Why It Matters

Industrial organizations invest millions in digital systems, then lose the capability to maintain them when key personnel change roles. Kwvaat™ prevents this by creating institutional memory that survives organizational change.

Capability Transfer Process

Phase 1: Co-Development

Your team works alongside Knar architects to build models—learning methodology while delivering results

Phase 2: Structured Training

Formal instruction on computational methods, causal modeling, and scenario analysis techniques

Phase 3: Certification

Competence validation through practical assessments aligned with industry standards (SMRP, API, etc.)

Phase 4: Knowledge Capture

Documentation and traceability systems ensure methods persist beyond individual contributors

Phase 5: Autonomous Operation

Your team operates and evolves models independently—Knar provides advisory support, not execution
