Building knowledge - creating value networks - dec.2002

Our research has shown that the most valuable activities in knowledge management focus on creating knowledge networks that extend beyond the traditional concept of communities of practice. `Business Opportunity' and `Best Practice Transfer' networks have been shown to directly contribute to the creation of value within firms. In order to foster these value creating networks, we propose a four stage process illustrated by examples of the companies that we have investigated in detail
