Knowledge, and not just technology or financing, holds the key to success in the global economy of the 21^st century. This workshop focuses on the connection between knowledge and strategy, with a strong focus on practical applications of knowledge management (KM). KM involves people, information, workflows, best practices, alliances, and communities of practice.

 

This informative session will draw on successes – and failures – of KM practices from around the world, and provides participants with a ready roadmap for launching, assessing and improving their own organizational KM practices. So stop losing out on precious knowledge opportunities or on reinventing the wheel – learn how to harness KM to your organisation’s advantage!

 

The workshop will be interactive, with a chance for participating managers and employees to discuss their views of knowledge work and its application in their industry.
