Why you should read Learning to Fly
The knowledge management craze may be passing right before our eyes, but Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell do a good job explaining what’s behind all the hype. Although a bit dry in tone, the authors manage to capture the critical elements of KM and explain the whys and hows as they relate to individual businesses. Despite a somewhat sterile presentation, getAbstract.com recommends this book as a thorough introduction to knowledge management theory and practice.
