Working knowledge

The Knowledge Gardeners is operating in accordance with a "Knowledge Management" philosophy.

In our perspective knowledge is more than information stored in the company depositories, but a strategic resource that is created through interacting and sharing within the company itself and with customs and the society that surrounds it.

Knowledge can only proved as a strategic advantage when it enables the company to seize opportunities that are vital to its future performance.

We want to improve the operations of our customers, and add our experiences where they are needed the most.

Topics

In November 2002 we arranged a successful seminar /workshop programme for Knowledge Management (KM) officers. The topic was internal marketing and promotions of KM, and the method storytelling as a means of strategic and tactical learning. The seminar was a co-arrangement with FOP – a network for information management within the oil and energy industry, but open to all businesses. The programme is available both as company internal and genereal concept, and run by Haakon Bull-Hansen and Karl Kalseth.
