I am happy to announce the introduction of the AFRD-Framework® to a wider community. AFRD (Aggregating, Featuring, Reviewing, Doing) represents a results-oriented process and a new way of working agily to achieve knowledge transfer (KT) in knowledge intensive environments, specifically in knowledge intensive firms (KIFs).

The AFRD-Framework®

AFRD has come a long way, has been challenged and questioned and – at the same time – has had numerous supporters, specifically Dr. Ivana Adamson (University of Gloucestershire) and Dr. Doris Burger (Danube University, Krems) – both have provided enormously helpful feedback on the architecture of AFRD.

The AFRD-journey actually commenced back in 2010, when I was pursuing new ways of achieving KT within fast-moving start-up companies. First efforts failed, and the approach was further elaborated over the years to follow.

The original hardcopy has just been delivered to the university of Gloucestershire, and a paperback (to be ordered on a number of online platforms) will be published, shortly.

Let’s create a new era of working agily in KT, together.
