REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND :
1. Growing Importance Of The Subject The knowledge-based economy is
developing quickly. The nature of organizations, the nature of work, is
becoming ever more knowledge intensive and brain based. The OECD says the
knowledge based sector of the developed economies is the fastest growing
sector. Knowledge Management is emerging as a new discipline targeted to
bring explicit strategies, tools and techniques to managing intellectual
capital and intangible assets.
2. If Knowledge is Power, then knowledge about managing knowledge is
extremely powerful.Gaining additional knowledge about the trends, the
strategies, the tools, the techniques, will provide you with a competitive
edge.
3. Learn From & Leverage The Success Of Others By reviewing real world
cases of companies who have achieved successful results implementing
knowledge management, you will be inspired and encouraged in your
initiatives. You will better understand what practical steps to take.
4. Improve Innovation Cycle Time and Quality Understanding the knowledge
innovation concept, will enable you to focus your company's knowledge
resources. More effective collaborative improvisation and creativity,
lower cost, harnessing customer knowledge, and faster time to market are
vital competencies for every business today.
5. Knowledge is an antidote to failure
In 1997, there were some spectacular business failures. A common theme
was - who knew what was going on ? ( Barings, Asia, Ontario Hydro,
Sumitomo, Bre-X) Managing knowledge more effectively is increasingly, an
important business imperative. Tom Peters says, it's close to Job # 1 for
Corporations today.
6. Ideas are the new currency
What's a good new idea worth ? A mentored discussion away from the office
about new approaches to sharing, exchanging, and harnessing good ideas is
bound to be of immense value.
