Preis 21.56 - 36.46 USD
Knowledge is power. In corporate terms knowledge means efficiency, productivity and ultimately profit, but too often it is not exploited to the full. Learning to Fly shows how organisations can take the knowledge within a company and turn it to a new advantage. It has been built from the real-world experiences of authors Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell during their time working for BP. The book is divided into three parts. First the concept of knowledge management is introduced--if you"ve not come across it before, this section explains the principles. Part two describes how various techniques can be applied in order to share knowledge. The theory is fleshed out with real-world examples. Finally, part three takes a look at how knowledge management can be embedded within an organisation"s everyday work rather than be simply applied as if an afterthought. The goal is to achieve a situation in which sharing knowledge is an everyday practice that does not need specialists to manage it. To this end, "Action Zones" encourage the reader to think about their own situation and ideas, and practical suggestions are offered. Learning to Fly puts the theory in place in order to explain how to use it in real-life working environments.--Sandra Vogel
