Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The book is divided into three parts. First the concept of knowledge management is introduced--if you've not come across it before, this section explains the principles. Part two describes how various techniques can be applied in order to share knowledge. The theory is fleshed out with real-world examples. Finally, part three takes a look at how knowledge management can be embedded within an organisation's everyday work rather than be simply applied as if an afterthought. The goal is to achieve a situation in which sharing knowledge is an everyday practice that does not need specialists to manage it. To this end, "Action Zones" encourage the reader to think about their own situation and ideas, and practical suggestions are offered. Learning to Fly puts the theory in place in order to explain how to use it in real-life working environments.--Sandra Vogel --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Want to more about knowledge management? Read this book!,
By mcclymk@bp.com (Shetland Islands, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning To Fly: Practical Lessons from One of the World's Leading Knowledge Companies (Paperback)
Collinson and Parcell have produced a book that is both informative and easy to read. It draws primarily on both their experiences of knowledge management with BP. However, the principles and applications contained within the text, are universal.They provide a plethora of vital information that will allow the reader to improve the management of knowledge on a personal level, and within the Company for whom they work. The book has opened my eyes to possibilities never before imagined and has improved the way I do business on a day to day basis. I thoroughly recommend this book to any reader who has the aspiration to deliver "best in class" results and the retention and use of that most vital of business resources, knowledge!

Beyond KM theory,
By jacqueline.beattie@ntlworld.com (Bedford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning To Fly: Practical Lessons from One of the World's Leading Knowledge Companies (Paperback)
Beyond the theory - here's 'the' hands-on guide to making KM work for real. As a practitioner of KM, I recognise and appreciate many of the initiatives and projects the authors successfully introduced and gained adoption of throughout BP. It's also refreshing to read that they had learning points to review too. This book illustrates how to achieve the ultimate goal - making KM part of the way to do business. KM is, after all, just good management, it shouldn't be regarded as an add-on, something extra to do. I recommend this book unreservedly to all who are engaged in KM activity - from those new to the field to those who (like me) want to make sure that they're doing the right things!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on KM and especially After Action Reviews.,
This review is from: Learning To Fly: Practical Lessons from One of the World's Leading Knowledge Companies (Paperback)
This must be one of the best books on KM I've seen for a long time. What I love about it - is its lack of focus on technology. Yes - BP are using technology in a big way - but it is just the enabler. The book focuses on the people side - building learning into an organization and on the concepts of the After-Action Review (AAR) - 'Learn Before', 'Learn During' and 'Learn After'.
