Abstract

How an organisation facilitates the creation, distribution and application of knowledge—made up of data, information, intelligence and insight—will be a contributory factor to how that organisation performs in its chosen markets. This is ‘the ability to disseminate knowledge by connecting individuals and teams and inspire them to collaborate in working towards common goals’. The optimum position would be an environment in which those in the workforce—at all levels—cooperate, collaborate and are empowered to create and to share—not only through formal channels such as strategic projects or business improvement schemes but also outside of these structured or curated interactions. The manager has a critical role to play in the creation of such an environment. The knowledge and skills to do so include facilitating a knowledge management orientation, by acting as knowledge seeker and knowledge disseminator and then integrating diverse bodies of knowledge into a coherent whole. The attitudes and behaviours associated with this competence are that the manager promotes a collaborative environment and indeed acts a role model for collaboration.
