A document base is not enough for industrial knowledge management. Query your know-how assets, find useful sources, then steer coverage, validation and updates.
The situation
A document base is not enough
Filing documents in an industrial knowledge base does not help the operator at the moment of action, nor leadership to know what is covered. Le Beau Geste turns that stock into an asset base you can query, source and govern.
Ask, rather than rummage
Ask a question in natural language: CoGeo searches the asset base and cites sources, respecting access rights.
See where knowledge depends on too few people
Spot critical know-how still concentrated in a few people, coverage gaps and content that has never been updated.
Keep the asset base alive
Field feedback and CoGeo suggestions help referents validate and update, without rewriting everything.
AI search
Search with sources
Enterprise AI search, in Le Beau Geste, is not a full-text engine on a shared folder. CoGeo queries trade-skill cards, instructions and accessible documents, formulates a contextual answer and cites the sources used.
Coverage and risks
Identify dependency areas
Industrial knowledge management starts with knowing what is missing and what rests on too few heads. Le Beau Geste helps spot poorly documented critical know-how, over-solicited experts and coverage gaps — the same diagnosis the I-CKH audit sets out before deployment.
Governance
Keep the asset base current
Guidance changes. Collect field feedback, let CoGeo group recurring signals, and have referents validate the updates. Industrial knowledge management stays under human responsibility: CoGeo proposes, referents decide.
Uses and benefits
Use the asset base every day
Find, mobilise and maintain knowledge from real usage.
Sourced search, less dependence on experts, an asset base updated under governance.
Prepare a rare operation
Find the procedure and watch-outs before intervening, without always calling an expert.
Find an answer without depending on an expert
Get a sourced answer without always pulling key people off the job.
Identify resources to update
Prioritise updates from usage, field feedback and CoGeo suggestions.

- Respect for access rights
- Suggestions you can review
- Decisions and updates remaining under human responsibility
