With effective knowledge management you can expect a reinvigorated corporate culture, an accessible pool of talent and creativity, a motivated and flexible workforce, loyal customers and more efficient systems and processes. This book will enable you to benchmark best practice, measure and leverage intangible assets, and implement quickly and effectively relevant knowledge management practices. It will be of particular interest for mid- to senior- level execs, owner-managers of SMEs, consultants, trainers and business advisers.
