Do you manage your knowledge?

There are loads of books about managing your time, but what about knowledge? The book argues that 'knowledge is as valuable as a commodity as time and so needs to be managed with as much care and attention'. This book is about learning how to learn. Interesting?I'd say so. This is the first book I read on the subject and I must say that it was interesting. I believe that the author is right that knowing what you know and how you learn grows more and more important. The book starts with a section about knowledge. What it is, how things are changing in the workplace and how knowledge management is all about choice. It is up to you to choose what paper or books to read. The book will then introduce you to the K-profile, and how it can help you map your knowledge process. The five stages in the process are (5D) Discover, Delay, Dispose, Diffuse and Deliver. Each stage is described in depth in a separate chapter.I have not yet used the model to map my knowledge, but I think I will sit down one day soon and try it practically. One thing that the book really reminded me of was the importance of thinking through WHAT you decide to read/study/learn. Does it fit in, what will you be able to 'deliver' with the new knowledge?...
