The Value of Knowledge (De Gruyter, 2020) – Knowledge is an economic asset of critical importance and value to the modern organization; however, it is too often not managed carefully as such.  This primary because, before now, the tools to do so were not readily available.

This book summarizes decades of client work and dozens of university and professional meeting lectures in one handy survey.  It presents practical frameworks and methods for the knowledge professional — and his/her organization — to identify, actualize, and maximize the economic value of knowledge.  Includes over two dozen specific strategies for building knowledge value.

Solid five-star reviews on Amazon, one of which (by a leading KM guru) says, “I don’t know of anything that covers the field so completely, economically, and elegantly.”  Another, by a TKA client, says, “…an invaluable resource for those endeavoring to define, develop and execute programs that maximize how knowledge is measured, managed, and applied to maximize the success of their organization.”

Knowledge Value Chain® Handbook (TKA, 2014) – The Handbook is a self-contained, low-risk way to evaluate the fit of the KVC approach with the challenges you face in your organization. 

It has been used as a textbook at Columbia University and in workshops conducted by TKA worldwide.  It has received high praise from a range of leading knowledge and intelligence practitioners.
