My colleague Hugh Bathurst is currently working for an engineering firm helping one of the divisions develop a knowledge sharing culture. Hugh has been collecting stories, eliciting how things get done and encouraging peope to contribute to developing of a range of knowledge resources. His division is leading the firm financially and he puts their success largely down to the knowledge sharing initiatives, especially their ability to transform Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the manager who's sponsoring this initiative.
