KM - Before / During / After - A realistic toolkit for professionals
I was to present the result of a piece of Knowledge Management (KM) work to an organisational development unit in our bank. I thought that I should include some industry knowledge on models and process for KM. After browsing through the amazing amount of KM books, I choosed this book and was more than rewarded for it.

The book formalises many of the steps I have followed myself with success in a number of KM projects. I can really recommend it. If you have never run a KM project, this book gives you reliable process and steps description. It signposts the traps and pitfalls and outline corrective measures.

I particularly like the KM process description, the chapter on peer knowledge sharing and also the information architecture and visuals of the book together with the DVD that present additional material. A book which delivers on its promisses!

Bravo to the authors, two pragmatic practionners who have modellised the success factors of their experience in KM without turning it into a mere experience sharing as also ground KM theory is well present. Hope to meet them in one of their KM events.

Far more than Knowledge Management
This book is a stunning example of practising what it preaches!
It is so rare to find theory and practice as well combined as they are here. I felt I could walk into an organisation, book in hand, and make KM happen!
Knowledge Management hardly does justice to what is described here, it is the creation of a culture of sharing and collaboration to produce real business results. It blazes a truly inspiring trail to follow!

Want to more about knowledge management? Read this book!
Collinson and Parcell have produced a book that is both informative and easy to read. It draws primarily on both their experiences of knowledge management with BP. However, the principles and applications contained within the text, are universal.

They provide a plethora of vital information that will allow the reader to improve the management of knowledge on a personal level, and within the Company for whom they work. The book has opened my eyes to possibilities never before imagined and has improved the way I do business on a day to day basis.

I thoroughly recommend this book to any reader who has the aspiration to deliver "best in class" results and the retention and use of that most vital of business resources, knowledge!
