Amazon.co.uk Review
Knowledge is power. In corporate terms knowledge means efficiency, productivity and ultimately profit, but too often it is not exploited to the full. Learning to Fly shows how organisations can take the knowledge within a company and turn it to a new advantage. It has been built from the real-world experiences of authors Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell during their time working for BP.

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.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Want to more about knowledge management? Read this book!, 3 Sep 2001 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!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
