The way knowledge management should be understood – a new book recommendation
April 5, 2011 by Mary Adams · Leave a Comment
I first met Edna Pasher last year and was happy to receive a review copy of her new book with Tuvya Ronen, The Complete Guide to Knowledge Management: A Strategic Plan to Leverage Your Company’s Intellectual Capital. Here’s the review that I just posted at Amazon:
I have to admit that when I hear Knowledge Management, I used to think of the technical side of this discipline, the many experts I know in cataloging, storing, accessing and sharing knowledge, especially in its digital form.
This book is an effective reminder that the essence and the urgency of Knowledge Management is not in these technical skills but in the power of the people and shared experiences within organizations across the globe. The stories of successes and failures make a convincing case for the urgency of changing our management attitudes and practices.
It is so powerful because the book is built primarily on stories amassed over the fruitful careers of the two authors. The stories are synthesized in the accompanying text and through simple bullets at the end of each chapter. I’ll probably go back and review the bullets later but what sticks with me are the stories.
The authors don’t hit the reader over the head with this message—but the truth is that the process of knowledge management is actually subversive to industrial-era top-down practices. Rather than threatening us, the authors gently remind us the wisdom of shedding these old practices and adopting new ones that allow knowledge and innovation to flow freely—and fuel growth and the financial results that are still the measure by which business must be measured.
This is a great book that every modern manager should have by their desk—to pick up and flip to the applicable chapter when the old ways of doing business just aren’t panning out.
