Learning to Fly

Learning to Fly shows exactly how to put theory into practice, sharing the tools used and the experience and insights gained by two leading knowledge management practitioners.
In Learning to Fly, Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell share their experiences from BP, one of the world's leading knowledge organisations. It is a practical, pragmatic workbook packed with hints and tips to help managers put knowledge management into action immediately.

Chris Collison leads BP's efforts in knowledge technology and personal productivity. He has presented BP's knowledge management story to audiences around the world, participating at major international conferences in five continents, as well as working with government departments and business leaders from other organizations. He has been the author or contributor to many articles in specialist knowledge management publications, as well as broadsheets such as the Financial Times and Daily Telegraph. Geoff Parcell is a practitioner. He has a wealth of experience gained from a diverse career in BP that has taken him from Vietnam to Brazil, from geophysicist to facilitator. A core member of BP's knowledge management team during the late 90s, he now leads a company-wide initiative for excellence in operations, truly embedding knowledge management in operational activities.
