Kadrant was founded in 2002 by Jean-François Tendron with the full support from Jean-Louis Ermine, author and creator of the MASK methodology (Method to Analyse and Structure Knowledge). Over the last 3 decades, the extensive use of MASK in various domain of expertise has proven the methodology to be robust whatever the industry or domain of expertise to be retained. No surprise then if the new ISO 30401 standard born in 2018 and dedicated to knowledge management, is widely inspired by the MASK methodology. Kadrant’s mission is to help companies unlock and retain critical knowledge, usually stored in experts’ head, to protect, enhance and even grow their core business and competitive advantage. Consequently, core business for Kadrant is to: - Secure knowledge threatened by restructuring, retirements or reassignments of critical individuals (all sectors, due to COVID19 for example ). - Secure large bodies of technical and / or scientific knowledge (in the defence or atomic energy field for example). - Identify gaps and formulate hypothesis in exploratory R&D domains (in the food industry). - Facilitate industrial knowledge transfers (in the food industry, lens industry, industrial gases industries). -Facilitate knowledge intensive partnership development (in the energy or industrial gases fields for example). -Create critical knowledge training support (all sectors).
