Knowledge is capital. Knowledge saved is knowledge earned. Investment in consciously acquired knowledge creates a long-term competitive advantage rather than short-term ROI. Right knowledge adds capital value only if it is re-usable, sharable & accessible across an enterprise. Unless collaborative teams and areas such as HR, sales, R&D, marketing & customers utilize the knowledge consciously for better business decisions - the enterprise doesn't get its full return. Forget about the gain and profit. Saving knowledge, it requires an additional creativity and self-discipline, either in a personal level or in an organizational.
Some moves to gain conscious capital:
Smart purchasing is an effective key to saving knowledge. Taking an inventory of the current needs vs. what you already have - before you decide to acquire a new one is a saving route. Prioritizing your needs is a conscious methodology and a model to follow.
Begin with the biggest and crucial asset that has the potential to save more.
Depending on the timing of knowledge needs, tame the bulls and bears. If an employee is less productive – teach them the trends - allow them to learn during summer. Let them earn when the winter comes. Patterns built by knowledge assembly can easily be replicated.
Without even planting a seed, farmers work hard to produce the next crop. Are we working just as hard to market our conscious knowledge-crop? A logical or methodological individual can likely to teach the same to others. One can bring knowledge avalanche for its productive use.
Technology is easy to learn. Don't give your employees only fish - teach them how to fish. Teach your employees, sub-ordinates and colleagues - the reasoning power ! Teach your human asset to learn argumentation, be conscious on what they do the best, let them be effective thinkers and good at debating. It's the most social, coopertative, collaborative enterprise by which your PMO or CKO can find truth and resolve conflicts.
