Knowledge Management (click here for video explanation)
In the knowledge economy learning is work and your
work is learning. Knowledge is only useful if you can use it
to think in new ways, solve problems, and make decisions.
“An organization’s ability to learn and translate that
learning into action is the ultimate competitive business
advantage”
–Jack Welch
“Knowledge has become the key economic resource and
the dominant–and perhaps even the only–source of
competitive advantage.”
–Peter Drucker
