Intention Hierarchy |
| Problem | To create meeting places for the exchange of knowledge in terms of an infrastructure and organisation which support co-operation between individuals. | |
| Context | The organisation's way-of-working and organisation do not support knowledge sharing between individuals in a natural way. There is a need for explicit actions to achieve the synergy effects from knowledge sharing. | |
| Forces | The extent to which individuals and organisations are willing to be influenced by their environment. | |
| Solution | To create a knowledge sharing structure entails two types of measures, changing work practices and changing working conditions. The former is by introducing networking practices, teamwork practices and a groupware system while the latter entails introducing flexible working hours and offices as well as encouraging spontaneous knowledge exchange. | |
Help
