Recommended BooksInnovation Strategy for the Knowledge Economy: The Ken Awakeningby Debra M. Amidon
See also Study Guide and Knowledge Innovation® assessment software that now expand the versatility of this book. In the rapidly evolving field of knowledge management this book is one of the originals and remains a classic. If you haven't added this slim volume (192 pages) to your collection, you are missing one of the most practical knowledge management books available. The book was innovative in 1997 and is still innovative now. Amidon's theory of Kaleidoscopic Dynamics shows us you cannot go back to past images and must forever move forward creating new views. Her book forms part of the crystals we can forever turn and shift to find new value. Amidon takes us through the history of knowledge management from the embryonic state to intelligent knowledge processors. She shows us her Wellsprings Timeline - Hindsight map on p. 30 and her Wellsprings Timeline - Insight map on p. 38. Hindsight offers us a 20-20 view of the past and Insight helps us reflect on how it has impacted our economy. After reading the book, visit her updated and integrated map, which includes Foresight to light the way to our future, at http://www.entovation.com/timeline/timeline.htm. I continually discover new wonders in this book. The corners of many pages in my copy are turned down to mark something of great wisdom and value. For she not only tells us how we arrived, where we are and what it all means, Amidon adds ten modules: five internal and five external, which if employed, will help us reach a prosperous future.
The author of this book, Debra M. Amidon is also one of KnowMap's contributors. See Past Articles to find articles by her.
