What you need to know about Knowledge Markets now .
Why the future of your organization may depend on investing in them!  

There is a growing proliferation of internal and external knowledge markets for ideas. This also encompasses innovation, inventions, intellectual capital, intellectual property, talent and expertise. It is changing, opening up and unleashing a revolution in how we crowd-source, incentivize, broker, network, and solve knowledge challenges. The universe of new developments underway is quite astounding. These innovations will disrupt and challenge what we take for granted today as standard operating practices. It will play havoc and threaten organizations that are slow to engage in market driven knowledge based business model innovation. Those enterprises slow to learn the new ways risk becoming laggards and losers. Those that embrace the coming changes, invest bravely in the future, and learn to love the new means of knowledge production, are likely to enjoy much more successful business outcomes. This presentation will make the case that knowledge markets will become powerful mainstream forces. These forces will energize the management of knowledge. They will offer network-centric practices which reshape how we create strategy and provide value in knowledge solutions, systems, and services. The argument is backed by real world research evidence. It is illustrated with select case examples. It will arm you with practical suggestions for moving forward.
