To manage business operations - let alone innovate - amid frequent restructurings, outsourcings and retirements, leaders must quickly capitalize on hidden know-how (knowledge). That is, know-how that lives inside their organizations or networks - in the teams, processes and experts that comprise them. Yet, many organizations are coming up short in this race. Knowledge sharing and transfer have been reduced to reports, e-mails and tweets replacing vital personal interaction. The lack of meaningful conversation coupled with intense fragmentation across organizations and networks has left leaders floating in a sea of information and ideas without a map to channel insight into action. Sharing Hidden Know-How starts the conversation that allows organizations to take what they know to the bank. The "how-to"/"how-act" guidebook unveils Knowledge Jam, a facilitated collaborative method for helping organizations rediscover the fundamental discipline of knowledge transfer - the conversation. Developed by Katrina Pugh, president of AlignConsulting, the proven process uses human interaction to capture unwritten insights, and more importantly to put them to work. Offering a step-by-step process and practical tools, Sharing Hidden Know-How will help any organization harness untapped knowledge to solve today's thorny problems: Accelerating New Product Development and Market and Segment Innovations Maximizing Combined Knowledge in Mergers Integrations, Restructurings, Off-shoring and Outsourcing Overcoming Information Overload (Focus on Social Media) Smoothing Executive Transitions and Succession Planning Smoothing Team Transitions Spreading Insight across Geographies and Network Partners Tapping into Sales Insights The next generation of leadership effectiveness is about conversation and reflective facilitation, not just texts and tweets. Sharing Hidden Know-How makes the case for intentional, conversation-based leadership, and provides the practice model to pull it off. Viewed from above, this important book is itself a conversation between Kate Pugh's basic propositions and those of a diverse group of other thinkers, all woven into a unified whole. Viewed on the ground, it is an intellectual joyride, coherent, insightful, promisingly pragmatic, and with just the right measure of the personal to fully reveal a fruitful mind in motion. - David Kantor, director, Kantor Institute; author, Reading the Room (Jossey-Bass, 2012) "[This] book addresses one of the time-honored problems in organizations: 'How do you get people with experience, solutions and knowledge to share them effectively with those who need those valuable assets?' Technology, we now know, is not the answer-human discus sion is. [Pugh] tells you how to structure and facilitate these important conversations." -Thomas H. Davenport, President's distinguished professor of IT and Management, Babson College; author of Analytics at Work and Thinking for a Living. "In this innovative and useful book Kate Pugh shows how you can be a far better knowledge practitioner just by releasing the power of talking in your organization. A fine example of the new generation of knowledge books." -Larry Prusak, author, Working Knowledge; visiting scholar, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California; and senior knowledge advisor to World Bank and NASA "[This book] meets an urgent need within leadership practices: an effective conversational process for capturing and transferring deep smarts." -Stephen Denning, author, The Leader's Guide to Radical Management and The Secret Language of Leadership "Leaders have long known that the 'know-how' of experienced teams is key to their orga nizations' ability to achieve strategic goals. The challenge has always been to distill this wisdom and deploy it in a way that maximizes and accelerates its impact on organizational effectiveness. [This book] provides a practical approach to addressing this challenge, and, in so doing, improv
