The Knowledge Game: The Revolution in Learning and Communication in the Workplace

In the electronic age it is no longer possible for learning and decision making to stay at the top - it has been thoroughly democratised. Technology can revolutionise the ways in which organisations develop and empower their staff - however, it first requires managers to understand the potential, and then to have the courage to realise that potential. Courage is required because the managers may feel that their traditional role is threatened: they have to develop along with the organisation. This book records a process of action learning as a small company discovers the potential of electronic communication, workplace learning and relationship marketing.
