In this book I explain how first-rate knowledge systems can save millions of lives and make huge improvements to a company’s profitability.

We are in the midst of the 4th Knowledge Revolution that started in 1943 with the first digital computer Colossus. This has led to the knowledge economy, Knowledge Workers and knowledge systems.

But the revolution is faltering - Knowledge Worker engagement and productivity is poor, knowledge sharing is still a problem.

Based upon my experience working with knowledge systems, together with research from as far back as 1908, I bring together:

  • digital technology

  • complexity

  • the 3rd human motivational drive and

  • the knowledge marketplace

to offer an explanation of how the best knowledge organisations create their knowledge systems.
