Survey: Many M'sian SMEs struggling with ‘knowledge silos'
By having a single platform and source of information, it would ultimately eliminate data silos and ensure everyone within the company could work with consistent, accurate information crucial for informed decision-making or problem-solving. — Photo from KUCHING (Aug 17): Nearly one in four Malaysian small and medium enterprise (SME) professionals regard 'knowledge silos' as stifling collaboration and slowing business. This was indicated in a survey undertaken by Kintone and conducted with over 300 Malaysian business and technology professionals from SMEs, at the 36th International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX), held in Kuala Lumpur recently. The poll stated that 24.2 per cent of respondents reported colleagues hoarding vital information, while 19.5 per cent cited unclear workflows that delayed projects, duplicated effort and caused key tasks to be abandoned. Another 19.2 per cent blamed scattered communications across multiple chat apps for undermining teamwork. The study also said 14.9 per cent of respondents struggled with limited access to real-time data, hampering responsiveness and decision-making. Moreover, 9.3 per cent of them spoke about being overwhelmed by a proliferation of disconnected tools, adding unnecessary complexity to daily operations. 'The findings from our survey at ITEX offer a crucial lens into the operational realities confronting Malaysian SMEs today,' said Kintone Southeast Asia managing director Tsubasa Nakazawa in a recent interview. 'While Malaysia has shown a high generative AI (artificial intelligence) adoption rate of 44 per cent, which surpasses the global average of 39 per cent, many businesses still grapple with a fundamental unfamiliarity with adapting technology into daily workflows, which has been reflected in our survey as well. 'However, the continued prevalence of challenges like knowledge silos, unclear workflows, and fragmented communication is not merely about internal friction. 'It actually highlights a significant opportunity to boost Malaysia's digital productivity and enhance its global competitiveness. 'These internal inefficiencies translate directly into slower decision-making, diminished innovation capacity, and an inability to swiftly respond to market shifts.' Elaborating, Tsubasa said it was no longer enough to just acquire cutting-edge tools like Generative AI (GEN AI), as businesses must first address the foundational issues of how information would flow and how teams could truly collaborate. 'With this approach, not only will it unlock the full promise of advanced technologies, but it will also enable businesses to build a more connected, more transparent, and more organised digital workspace,' he said. Adding on, Tsubasa pointed out that the most significant, yet often overlooked, cost of digital chaos lay directly within a company's own employees. 'When teams are forced to navigate the maze of scattered digital tools, fragmented information, and disconnected communication channels, it creates immense friction in their daily work. 'This constant struggle leaves them with very little mental bandwidth for higher-value tasks. 'Instead of focusing on creative problem-solving, exploring innovative ideas, or strategising for operational improvements, their energy is consumed by the tedious and frustrating task of simply trying to find information, verify data, or understand who said what and where. 'In fact, these fragmentations will erode morale, stifle innovation, and lead to employee burnout. 'This could incur substantial and often hidden costs for the business in terms of lost institutional knowledge, and the considerable expense and time required for retraining new staff. Tsubasa points out that the most significant, yet often overlooked, cost of digital chaos lies directly within a company's own employees. Tsubasa acknowledged that moving from fixing individual bottlenecks to redesigning core processes would require a fundamental shift in approach. 'It's about rethinking the entire operational flow, not just patching up broken parts. 'Organisations need to engage in holistic process-mapping, taking a step back to map out their end-to-end processes to identify all touchpoints, dependencies, and potential points of failure, which often reveals interconnected issues across operations. 'This is where employee empowerment becomes critical, particularly through the strategic deployment of no-code/low-code platforms. By providing these intuitive tools directly to employees that work the closest to the daily operational challenges, it will enable them to actively participate in designing and refining their own workflows, building applications and automations based on their specific needs. 'In fact, these tools will help foster a culture of iterative improvement, ensuring workflows are not static, but can be quickly optimised based on real-world feedback and changing business needs, which is crucial for adaptability.' Still, Tsubasa said the tools 'could only do so much', stressing that providing initial training and ongoing support remained vital, whether through online resources, workshops or even internal 'champions' who could guide their colleagues. 'With this approach, it helps businesses foster a 'citizen developer' mindset, encouraging employees to build business applications with little to no coding. 'More than just solving immediate operational challenges, this will also enable non-technical employees to cultivate a culture of innovation and self-sufficiency, freeing up the IT (information technology) teams to focus on more strategic initiatives relating to the company's digital infrastructure, security and enterprise-level innovations.' Tsubasa also said by having a single platform and source of information, it would ultimately eliminate data silos and ensure everyone within the company could work with consistent, accurate information crucial for informed decision-making or problem-solving, in line with the company's growth. 'In fact, with a well-designed centralised platform, not only will it enhance workflow collaboration within internal teams, it can also be easily configured and expanded to accommodate new business lines, evolving market demands or a growing user base. 'This enables companies to ensure their technology keeps pace with its growth trajectory and reduces the need for constant, costly system overhauls,' he said. Kintone is a customisable digital workplace platform, designed to meet the needs of organisations of all sizes. Trusted by over 37,000 companies globally, it powers up more than two million applications. busines Kintone knowledge silos SMEs
