This new reality is having a radical impact on the principles of organizational performance: with 'conductivity', organizations become 'networks of commitment'. As these networks become more and more prevalent, work no longer follows the vertical axes of the organization. The hierarchical structure is reinforced by the complementary strength of a 'network structure'. While the former defines strategic direction, allocates resources and orchestrates performance, the latter becomes the platform for capability building at both the individual and organizational levels. This session will explore the following questions: * What do we mean by 'knowledge' and how is it related to learning and capability building? * What 'works' and 'does not work' in leveraging knowledge for greater performance? * What are the respective roles of technology and culture in knowledge exchange? * What are the barriers to making better use of the technology available? * What are the elements of an effective knowledge strategy? * What are the characteristics of a highly performing, knowledge-enabled organization? speaker: Hubert St Onge course fee: £495.00 + VAT (£581.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments date: 30 Jan http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=TR908 <http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=TR908> exercising influence in organisations This one day session will deepen your ability to enlist people in your ideas and your projects.
