Wissen ist heute so leicht zugänglich wie noch nie. Gleichzeitig ist es häufig ungemein schwer, die Wertigkeit einer neuen Information stichhaltig zu beurteilen. Schlüssel und Voraussetzung für erfolgreiches Wissensmanagement ist es, Informationen im Team zu sammeln, auszutauschen und zu bewerten. Wie das am besten funktioniert, erfahren Sie in dieser Episode von Prof. Fabiola Gerpott. Was können Teams tun, um sicherzugehen, dass Wissen nicht verloren geht – wenn die KI doch sowieso alles weiß? Wenn „Wissen teilen“ doch eigentlich ein No-Brainer ist, wieso werden in der Praxis dann trotzdem oft wertvolle Informationen zurückgehalten? Und welche Strategien können Organisationen nutzen, um sich Diversität – insbesondere Altersdiversität – im Wissensmanagement zunutze zu machen? Viel Spaß beim Hören!

This episode shows you the importance of red teaming and how testing your assumptions can lead to greater success. Bryce G. Hoffman is an author, speaker, consultant, and strategic advisor who believes that individuals have the power to transform companies and cultures with the right processes. Hoffman wrote the bestselling book American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company, which has become a manual for leaders who want to transform their companies. His latest book, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything, was just published by Crown Business in the United States and Little, Brown and Company in the United Kingdom. Podcast Highlights Who is Bryce Hoffman? Bryce is a former journalist that witnessed many booms and busts and learned how businesses succeed or fail in the process. After writing American Icon, Bryce began getting asked to present and implement many of the ideas in the book in other businesses. This lead to consulting and Bryce’s second book Red Teaming. Don’t take your success for granted. You have to take great leaps forward to keep success going. How Does Red Teaming Impact Business? Bryce was looking for a system that businesses can use to challenge their systems. Red teaming is the cure for institutional complacency. Success is a poor teacher. Everybody needs a system that challenges their assumptions and strategies. Red teaming can also be used to identify businesses that are vulnerable to being disrupted. Your Competitor’s Customers Are An Opportunity How Much Work Is It To Apply Red Teaming? To get the full benefit of Red Teaming, you need a separate set of eyes to look at your plans. Inside Versus Outside Red Teams Red Teaming Your Foregone Conclusions How many areas of your life could benefit from reevaluating your assumptions? Reference: Bryce Hoffman, American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company Bryce Hoffman, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything Bryce’s Takeaway Just ask “why?”. Why is one of the most powerful words in the English language, there is no danger to asking why. Just because you’re Red Teaming your plan doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with your plan, but you won’t know that until you subject it to stress testing and scrutiny.

Dorie Clark - The Author Dorie Clark is an accomplished marketing author. She has a couple books out and her first book is called Reinventing You: Define Your Brand Imagine Your Future where she provides a step-by-step guide to help you assess your unique strengths, develop a compelling personal brand, and ensure that others recognize the powerful contribution you can make. Share on Twitter The second book was recently released and it's called Stand Out: How to Develop Your Breakthrough Idea and Build a Following Around It. Too many people believe that if they keep their heads down and work hard, they’ll be lauded as experts on the merits of their work. But that’s simply not true anymore. To make a name for yourself, you have to capitalize on your unique perspective and knowledge and inspire others to listen and take action. But becoming a recognized expert is a mysterious and opaque process. Where do the ideas come from, and how do they get noticed? Dorie also wrote an e-book that was a follow up to Stand Out called Stand Out Networking. Few professional activities are as nerve-wracking as networking. There’s the paralyzing prospect of entering a room full of strangers. The awkward introductions and stilted small talk. The concern that “networking” means you have to exploit others for personal gain – or might appear that way. It’s no wonder so many talented professionals eschew networking altogether. Unfortunately, that means they’re limiting their chances of making the kind of great personal and professional connections that can expand their worldview, enrich their lives, and – yes – even lead to new business opportunities. Dorie Clark - The Speaker Dorie has done a couple TEDx talks. One talk was with TEDx Beacon Street that was organized by John Werner who works out of the MIT medialab. Last November, Dorie spoke about how to find your breakthrough idea. It was a pre-cursor to her book Stand Out. She addressed some of the ideas she covered in her book related to innovation and how you can keep being creative as a business or a person. The second TEDx talk she spoke at was TEDxWPI - which stands for Worcester Polytechnic Institute. This is a university just outside Boston where she discussed many of the themes in the latter part of Stand Out. It was based on how to build a following around a business or person's ideas. Dorie Clark - Overcoming Failure Since anyone can create videos and write blogs these days, there is really no barrier to entry. You can "Get Your Message Out There", but the problem is whether or not anyone is going to be listening to your message since there is so much noise and competition. This is the crucial distinction. Many people fail due to the fact that they think it's going to be way easier than it is. Dorie thinks that it may be a "fad" to talk about failure, but it's a good thing. People are typically presented with sanatized narratives that are packaged with a bow on them. People only see the end result. They don't see the challenges of starting up and the path to success. Overall, failure is good to understand, but toward a little more transparency or authenticity. The more likely, we are as individuals, to embrace failure will ultimately provide the experience needed to success. Community Development Eric Ries is an entrepreneur and author of the New York Times bestseller: The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Business, published by Crown Business. Dorie interviewed Reis and profiled him in Stand Out because he's built a tremendous community around his idea. He's created meetups in 17 countries and 94 cities around the world with over 750,000 members participating in Lean Startup meet up groups. The Lean Startup methodology is extremely helpful for people because they see real value. These members are starting up on a shoestring budget and Eric's community specializes in answering the toughest questions ...
