  • A unique title that puts a whole new spin on knowledge management
  • Includes chapter-by-chapter practical checklists that support the text
  • Exercises that help craft new and entrepreneurial offerings
  • A free CD-ROM introducing knowledge-based job support tools

In most companies, knowledge management has focused almost exclusively upon the packaging of existing knowledge. Exploiting knowledge has taken a back seat, while relatively little effort has been devoted to creating the additional know-how needed to innovate, discover and deliver additional customer and shareholder value.
 

The Knowledge Entrepreneur is a unique title that has been designed to help readers boost revenues and profit by significantly improving the performance of existing activities and creating new offerings that generate additional income. It shows how practical knowledge-based job-support tools can transform work group productivity, and reveals the enormous scope for addressing contemporary problems such as 'information overload' with imaginative responses.

Packed with information, this title is the first of its kind, putting a whole new 'spin' on knowledge management. It offers truly useful advice, hints and tips to help the reader create, manage and profit from knowledge. Additional action items and guidance include:

  • Iists of possible commercial ventures
  • detailed checklists that can be used for identifying and analysing opportunities for 'knowledge entrepreneurship'
  • exercises for assessing entrepreneurial potential and 'scoping' possible products and services

The Knowledge Entrepreneur also includes a unique CD-ROM that shows how knowledge-based job support tools can dramatically improve results in crucial areas such as winning more business.
