- Number 1: Knowledge Assets
Securing Competitive Advantage in the Information Economy, Boisot M.,1999, ISBN 019829607X
A book I read from cover to cover, although it was not always easy going. It makes you really think about the various choices organizations have when it comes to strategies regarding knowledge. In doing so, he raises the understanding of knowledge management to a higher level.
- Number 2: Learning to fly
Practical Lessons from one of the World's Leading Knowledge Companies, Collison C., Parcell G., 2001, ISBN 184112124X.
A modern classic that deals with practical instruments as well as do's and don'ts. Originated within the BP organization where 10 years ago there was a large and active KM group. This group came to an end due to its own success as the operations organization thought that they could do it themselves. Fortunately they documented their experiences in this book.
- Number 3: Lerend management
Verborgen krachten van managers en organisaties, van den Broeck H., 1998.
A seemingly forgotten book that was way ahead of its time. In 1992 it already gave a good overview of the instruments and approaches that were suitable for knowledge-oriented organizations. In 1992 DNV-CIBIT invited the author to speak on knowledge management at a knowledge café. I remember that as a very inspirational meeting.
