Verna Allee, 1995

PDF: Knowledge Links

This assessment instrument makes

use of the Knowledge Complexity Framework(c). (See more on the Papers and Articles page.)

With examples from everyday work teams through complex large-scale networks, this book simply and coherently lays out the new basics of collaborative work design and value creating networks. It explains the underlying concepts and shows how to map, analyze, and leverage value networks in a way that supports high social values and ethical practices - and achieve fast business results.

The Future of Knowledge strips away traditional business thinking to reveal the new patterns of management thought and practice essential for success in a more complex world. Embodying Allee's visionary approach, this book brings forward a practical view of new theories, frameworks, tools, and methods offering businesses a guide to managing the increasing levels of complexity within their organizations and in society at large.

This book holds compelling reflections, inspiring stories, and poetry from recognized leaders and compassionate citizens. Contributions include people from different countries and professions, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Published in 2003 by Indigo Press in India.

The Knowledge Evolution is a foundational book in the field of Knowledge Management. Allee takes an organic systems view, exploring how organizations acquire, manage, and transfer knowledge. Covers: the nature, role, and order of knowledge complexity; best practices; types of organizational structures that support knowledge sharing; technologies for knowledge building; developing knowledge strategies; and efforts to measure results.

This gathering in Korea includes Dr. Kim, Sang Sool Kwan (translator of

The Knowledge Evolution), Karl-Erik Sveiby, Verna Allee, Leif Edvison,

and the staff at Mirae.

While this assessment tool is designed for use by individuals, the framework itself is useful at the individual, team and organizational level. It provides a common language for tasks, helping people understand the tools and skills needed for working effectively, responding quickly, and moving creatively into the future.
