Enabling knowledge creation

"Weaving together lessons from such international leaders as Siemens, Unilever, Skandia, and Sony, along with their own firsthand consulting experiences, the authors introduce knowledge enabling - the overall set of organizational activities that promote knowledge creation - and demonstrate its power to transform an organization's knowledge into value-creating actions. They describe the five key "knowledge enablers" and outline what it takes to instill a knowledge vision, manage conversations, mobilize knowledge activists, create the right context for knowledge creation, and globalize local knowledge." "This sequel puts practical tools into the hands of managers and executives who are struggling to unleash the power of knowledge in their organization."--BOOK JACKET.
