About The Future of Knowledge: Increasing Prosperity through Value Networks

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read! October 18, 2002

This book again shows Verna Allee's great gift for making the complex simple and
practical. In this book she builds and explores the metaphor of enterprise as a living
network, successfully weaving together such diverse threads as value network analysis,
 communities of practice, social network analysis and biology. She shows us what to focus
on now and, as always, provides a glimpse of the future. If you want to know what's
coming next in this rapidly evolving field, read this book.

The following three articles report on different aspects of an innovative research project sponsored by Knoll in 2006-2007 and led by Camille Venezia. The project used value network analysis to understand roles and relationships as a unique lens for understanding the needs of mobile workers. This fresh perspective exploded a number of popular “myths” about mobile workers and provided insights into how companies can best support them with technology, facilities and furniture systems.
