What It Takes to Flourish in a Complex and Uncertain World While it is not news that knowledge and innovation have become critical sources of competitive advantage in nearly every industry, few managers pause to consider the implications of this new reality – particularly what it means for the type of work environment that will help employees thrive and organisations succeed.
This course seeks to assist you in doing so and provide you with some fresh ideas and techniques for improving the performance of knowledge-intensive organisations.
It is not enough to acquire qualified, motivated employees for an organisation to genuinely prosper in a world where innovation might be the difference between success and failure.
People who are knowledgeable, talented, and well-intentioned cannot always give what they know at the vital time on the job when it is required.
