There's never been an idea that I had that wasn't made better through a team. And often quite frankly changed by the team. That's where the good stuff is born. From project teams to nations, it seems to me to be true. It ties back to what you were saying earlier, but the Einstein example, you just don't wake up one morning and create the best ideas ever. Even at better when there's women on the team, by the way, there's no question about that.
We are living in a project economy where products, services, and ideas are developed through the global exchange of knowledge. However, what are we talking about when we talk about working knowledge?
In this podcast, Laurence Prusak will discuss how the most successful teams and organizations find, create, nurture, and distribute knowledge for the ultimate competitive advantage. Larry is the co-author of several of the most successful management books on this subject , ‘Working Knowledge: How Organizations Manage What They Know,’ and ‘What’s the Big Idea? Creating and Capitalizing on the Best Management Thinking.’ Larry discusses with PMI COO, Joe Cahill, how working knowledge is very different from data and information. He will also discuss how organizations capitalize on effective knowledge and why knowledge is profoundly social.
