This workshop is over.
A one-day workshop presented by Gurteen Knowledge and Bizmedia in collaboration with the London Knowledge Network
30th September 2004, Novotel London West, Hammersmith, London, UK
One of the top people in the world in knowledge, intangibles and new business models will help leaders and executives explore network strategies for value creation. Verna Allee, whose groundbreaking book The Knowledge Evolution helped usher in the field of knowledge management brings her experience-tested insights around knowledge and intangibles into an exciting new synthesis, penetrating to the very heart of value creation. She demonstrates how applying the economic principles of leveraging intangibles through value network analysis brings breakthrough thinking and dramatic business results for industry, NGO and government organizations.
Drawing from her latest work and newest book, The Future of Knowledge: Increasing Prosperity through Value Networks, Verna will take participants beyond typical ROI, value chain and process models to rethink business activities from the whole system perspective of the value network.
Using real world examples from everyday challenges in mainstream industries and government, the innovative business models of e-business, and the fascinating world of global action networks she will show how value network strategies bring greater success.
Verna recently ran a MasterClass on Value Networks at University of Greenwich, London and received some tremendous
accolades
