Do you manage your knowledge?
There are loads of books about managing your time, but what about knowledge? The book argues that 'knowledge is as valuable as a commodity as time and so needs to be managed with as much care and attention'. This book is about learning how to learn. Interesting? I'd say so. This is the first book I read on the subject and I must say that it was interesting. I believe...

Badly needs an editor
Personal knowledge management--understanding and managing ones personal knowledge, assumptions, and skills--is an important area. Little general information on personal knowledge management is available, so any book on the subject is working looking at. This book might have been a good overview and introduction, but I could barely force myself to read the first 30...

Do you manage your knowledge?,
By Kenmo Fredrik (TULLINGE Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Know Your Value? Value What You Know: Manage Your Knowledge and Make It Pay (Paperback)
There are loads of books about managing your time, but what about knowledge? The book argues that 'knowledge is as valuable as a commodity as time and so needs to be managed with as much care and attention'. This book is about learning how to learn. Interesting?I'd say so. This is the first book I read on the subject and I must say that it was interesting. I believe that the author is right that knowing what you know and how you learn grows more and more important. The book starts with a section about knowledge. What it is, how things are changing in the workplace and how knowledge management is all about choice. It is up to you to choose what paper or books to read. The book will then introduce you to the K-profile, and how it can help you map your knowledge process. The five stages in the process are (5D) Discover, Delay, Dispose, Diffuse and Deliver. Each stage is described in depth in a separate chapter. I have not yet used the model to map my knowledge, but I think I will sit down one day soon and try it practically. One thing that the book really reminded me of was the importance of thinking through WHAT you decide to read/study/learn. Does it fit in, what will you be able to 'deliver' with the new knowledge?...

Badly needs an editor,
By Samuel Reynolds (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Know Your Value? Value What You Know: Manage Your Knowledge and Make It Pay (Paperback)
Personal knowledge management--understanding and managing ones personal knowledge, assumptions, and skills--is an important area. Little general information on personal knowledge management is available, so any book on the subject is working looking at. This book might have been a good overview and introduction, but I could barely force myself to read the first 30 pages.The book seems reasonably well organized, but poorly written; any editor worth minimum wage could have worked with the author to bring the writing quality up to something readable. Given the effort and cost of writing, publishing, and distributing a book, I'm surprised this one made it into print at all. I rated it 2 stars on the assumption that there is good material hidden behind the poor writing. Hopefully the publisher will get an editor to clean it up for a 2nd edition. |
