BOOK RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!
My long-awaited book, The Knowledge Café (The Café), is here! It will stir your curiosity, caffeine, and learning-agility for knowledge exchange, conversational leadership, sense-making/ “aha” moments, wisdom, and co-creative innovation in all projects, works, and personal lives. Warning: cubicles are not the birthplace of innovation—it happens at the intersection of connected minds—the café.
*This could be the university of the future! It’s lunatic and crazy-idea friendly. Think of knowledge and idea crowd-sourcing townhall. Knowledge is the new factor of production. The café, a KM tool, is a space and a mindset for creating a knowledge-centric environment.
*Café ATTITUDE and LEARNING are where reflective and generative dialogue and discourse are covenanted; debate and diatribe are intentional outside the GROUND RULES.
*Hehehe! “We can’t force people to share their knowledge; we must create the right environment where intentional knowledge exchange and transfer is the culture—and folks are rewarded for sharing.
Is knowledge power? How powerful is unapplied knowledge?
“People are not interested in how much you know but how you care, but CARING alone is insufficient without SHARING.”
*LOST KNOWLEDGE RISK: About 85% of employees or family members’ knowledge will walk out of the door or even to the grave if unshared. Don’t let it happen!
In this masterpiece, you’ll find simple but, time-tested tips, templates like Café Ground Rules, Personal Knowledge Register (PKR), etc., practical and relatable experiences, case studies from 11 project and knowledge managers, examples of knowledge brokers, creators, and sharers across cultures are sprinkled throughout the book to show how the Knowledge Café interfaces with other KM techniques and at different work and project spaces.
A university has already adopted it for its curriculum. Get ready to be wowed!
Check it out on AMAZON and everywhere books are sold
