How can companies prepare themselves for greater success in the knowledge economy?

As the world evolves into a virtual market space, new rules for business success are imminent. Companies who gain the edge will have one notable characteristic. They use their entire knowledge base to continuously add more value to their customers and employees, and therefore, to their company as a whole.

The Knowledge Dividend shows you how to initiate and leverage knowledge in accordance with your company strategy. It illustrates how to create organizations that are entirely process, team and community based, and ICT enabled. It explains, by example, how to shape the knowledge attitude and key competencies of knowledge professionals so that they are committed to the future - the company's and their own.

Don't dig deeper for more knowledge, capture only meaningful knowledge and build on the value it has

The Knowledge Dividend shows how to turn intangible knowledge into tangible business value by creating an organization that is process, team and community based, and properly ICT enabled. It looks at knowledge management from a non-technical, integrated approach called Value-Based Knowledge Management. It shows how to build meaningful knowledge from the ideas and innovations that reside in company professionals, teams and communities. This book answers the question, "What value can be created for a company with knowledge?" It helps to design an organization that is founded on a structure that derives value from knowledge.

This book does not focus on ways to gather and manage the ever-growing stream of information flooding businesses today. The Knowledge Dividend helps create organizations that inspire knowledge professionals to adopt a higher level of performance, one based on creativity and intuition, flexibility and speed.

As well as including a teaser CD-ROM, the book is packed with many time-saving tools. It introduces over 200 innovative practices and case studies of renowned international companies that are meeting the challenges of the knowledge economy.

Learn how to locate and build knowledge that adds value to your business, and how to use value-based knowledge to maximize the growth and wealth of the organization
