Abstract

Many knowledge management initiatives have been excessively general and overly complex, and they have not delivered hoped for results. A more focused and flexible approach is required that can quickly impact upon performance, achieve multiple objectives and provide clear benefits to both people and organisations.

This report questions ‘traditional’ approaches to knowledge management and sets out a more affordable route to achieving greater returns on investment and building a high performance organisation.
