Creating and Working with Knowledge

Running Time: 17 minutes

The films in the Learning a la Carte film series, which is part of the larger TakeAway Training series, describe fresh challenges, innovative solutions and give informed insights into the future of work. Featuring discussions between psychologist Peter Quarry and leading international experts, these programmes are ideal for learning centres, training sessions and managers' own bookshelves.

This film is based on the prediction that within a few years 70% of US and European workers will work with knowledge. But how is knowledge created and managed? How can information overload be dealt with? Key learning points include: understanding 'knowledge work'; why we learn faster when we share knowledge faster; role of 'groupware' in working effectively in knowledge creation; why creativity is a 'volume driven business'; dealing with information overload. The programme features psychologist Peter Quarry, interviewing Ron Young, Chief Executive, Knowledge Associates, UK.
