Twice Reply offering Knowledge Transfer Services based on AFRD

Twice Reply, Reply’s digital consulting firm, is now offering Knowledge Transfer services based on the AFRD-Framework® which I introduced to a wider audience a little while ago.

Learning together: Reply Group and ESCP Europe

Thanks specifically to Jennifer Diamant Foulon from ESCP for having me.

We shared knowledge by working as a team, and I believe we kicked off an interesting Knowledge Transfer process on sales and negotiation skills within complex and demanding customers. Very happy to support the team, going forward.

The recently published AFRD-Framework® will – by the way – shortly be communicated within Reply to help achieve excellence in Knowledge Transfer. I will keep you updated.[poet-badge]

Knowledge Transfer: Farmers learn best from each other

In this interesting arcticle, Andrew Doyle, Ireland’s State Minister for Food, Forestry and Horticulture, comments on Knowledge Transfer (KT) in the farming industry: “As a farmer myself, I know that farmers learn best from each other. This is why our Knowledge Transfer programme is based on peer support and collaborative learning, facilitated by experts in that area.” I could not agree more. Doyle talks about some key principles of KT which are core to the AFRD-Framework® I have published, shortly. The Minister’s view inspires me to start a KT research project within the farming industry. Already looking into this …

5 Ways to end Bickering and ensure Knowledge Transfer

In this readable article, Steve Trautman states that “structure and clarity must be baked into the knowledge transfer process” – I could not agree more. This is exactly what the AFRD-Framework® which I introduced to a wider audience some days back is about. Trautman’s piece is a nice read and refers to some real-life experiences.

Introducing: AFRD. Working agily in KT

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.
