Interesting project by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU): the team have launched the Knowledge Transfer (KT) Forum to match the expertise and research outputs of scholars with global companies. This follows a trend of universities reaching out to build strong business links, specifically in the area of digital transformation. KT techniques will be important to make this approach successful.

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. The company has launched a dedicated website (currently, in German only) explaining the approach, its core process, bespoke tools – and benefits: Wissenstransfer mit AFRD.
Explore how fast-moving companies can prepare for a knowledge-friendly culture – the foundation to survival in the Knowledge Age. [poet-badge]
Learning together: Reply Group and ESCP Europe
I felt honoured to contribute to the educational Management Programme of Reply Group and ESCP Europe Business School. I was impressed with the great group of gifted consultants in a fantastic room at Reply’s new premises in Westminster.

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]
Meemim Retires its Free Knowledge Management Platform for Business Users
Meemin Knowledge Management platform discontinued …
This is sad news, revealing – once again – the following: Knowledge Management (even more so Knowledge Transfer) is not about the latest, hottest or most convenient software or platform. KM and KT are complex, comprising a number of factors (potentially) contributing to successful outcomes. We need to start thinking about KM and KT as ecosystems. I will elaborate on this in future publications.
The AFRD-Framework® which I have just published (see also my previous blog post) hints at the ecosystem idea. The AFRD booklet will be available on download platforms, shortly.
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.
CDO Survey: Strive, Survive, Succeed
Our strategic partners at mobileVision have just published an excellent report on challenges and opportunities Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) are facing in corporate environments. The summary of a longitudinal study is insightful and crisp, and I consider it worth a read. Enjoy: CDO Survey 2018
