Over the next decade, individuals and organizations will experience quantum leaps in their capacity to acquire, assimilate, and share knowledge. Those who fail to do so will fall behind. Strategic Initiatives is a recognized leader in guiding enterprises in developing knowledge strategy to gain and sustain competitive advantage.

We wrote the internationally recognized book, Transforming eKnowledge, to capture the impact that Web-based interactivity would have on every industry, enterprise, and institution attempting to compete in the Knowledge Economy. We have put this know-how to work in consulting projects with universities, associations, corporations, and federal agencies to unleash the power of competing on knowledge.

These developments have been accelerated by the Great Recession and the impact of Web 2.0-based practices. Every industry is in the process of reimaging their perspectives, processes and practices to establish financial sustainability, post-recession. This is what John Hagel calls the “Big Shift.” Leading-edge practitioners are learning to engage in the continuously changing knowledge flows that characterize Knowledge 2.0. They are also learning the need to reinvent their approaches to learning, competence, diffusion and commercialization of research findings, innovations, and entrepreneurship.

Strategic Initiatives is working at all levels – enterprise, state, national ministry – to sort out the challenges of thriving in the Knowledge Economy and discovering the competitive advantage and financial sustainability that will only come from shrewd insight, difficult judgments, and aligning strategies with the demands of the times.
