Networks, networks, networks
Value creation has thus been shifting from protecting proprietary knowledge, to fostering collaboration, both within the company and beyond its boundaries, in order to help the firm participate in as broad and diverse a range of knowledge flows and thus improve its competitive position.  Any other set of genes would be less fit.

  • LinkedIn Guide for Knowledge Workers
    I do a lot of presentations where one of the topics is how to use LinkedIn more effectively as part of your knowledge work.

  • Anecdote: Our need for the knowledge worker is over
    Filed in Knowledge.
