To: Europe, Middle East & North Africa My sixth conference "Learning to Fly - Practical knowledge management from leading and learning organisations" with Chris Collison & Geoff Parcell takes place in London on the 2nd December 2004. Though this is much more workshop then a conference. In 2001, Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell of BP, published a book called : "Learning to Fly: Practical Lessons from one of the world's leading knowledge companies". In this book, Chris and Geoff showed how new ideas and tools made working and learning inseparable in BP - one of the world's most innovative large companies. The book was a huge success and I would argue one of the best practical, pragmatic guides to building a learning environment within an organization so far published. It has a five star review rating on Amazon and has become a practical handbook for many KM practitioners and organizations, selling over 10,000 copies worldwide. This summer, Chris and Geoff have updated and broadened this book with stories from ten organizations, large and small, public and private - including the BBC, United Nations, BNFL, Centrica and De Beers. The result of this is: "Learning to Fly: Practical knowledge management from leading and learning organisations". This new book which was recently published is a practical, pragmatic workbook packed with hints and tips designed to help managers put knowledge management into action in their organizations. The sixth Gurteen Knowledge Conference is based on the tools, lessons and stories from the new book - celebrating its launch in a practical, hands-on workshop format. The conference will be run and facilitated by Chris and Geoff themselves as an 'experiential learning workshop'. Everyone will experience first hand learning processes such as "peer assists", and "after action reviews" and learn techniques for capturing "knowledge assets". I think this will be an exceptional event - see here for full details of the day and to book online: http://www.gurteen.com/gurteen/gurteen.nsf/id/X0007F9FA/ The price of the workshop is only £349.00 + VAT - included in the price is a free copy of the book and CD-ROM, signed by both Chris and Geoff. I hope you can make it :-) Regards David David Gurteen Gurteen Knowledge
