No more consultants
with Chris Collison
Chris Collison has been at the cutting edge of knowledge management since the 1990s. He'll be talking about his recently published book, No more consultants, co-authored with Geoff Parcell. In their book, Chris and Geoff argue that automatically reaching for external consultants to solve a problem misses the opportunity to use the expertise held within the organisation. Chris will:
- discuss how self-assessment and the River Diagram technique can reveal the opportunity for sharing and learning
- describe techniques to encourage people to share their knowledge
- talk about ways to help you think more about what you know
- tell you how to get the most out of consultants when you do use them.
Chris is a leading business adviser, author and speaker. After 15 years working on knowledge and change management with BP and Centrica, Chris now helps a range of organisations to improve and innovate - from software engineers in Bangalore, to venture capitalists in Rome, biotechnologists in North Carolina, and NHS hospitals in the UK. He is an associate and visiting lecturer at Henley Business School, Cranfield School of Management and the University of Ulster and is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD. Chris and Geoff's previous book, "Learning to Fly" has become a standard work in the field of knowledge management.
