Knowledge Works

Drawing together the results of 10 years of collaborative research with groups of KM Forum members, the book "Knowledge Works" was published in April 2011. It contains all the practical tools, techniques, frameworks and cases that members have created together. It is organised around the key themes of setting strategic priorities, becoming more efficient and more innovative, and improving the organisational capacity to learn, be more agile and change.
