Increasingly. the value of a business sits not in its plant and machinery, its computers and buildings but in the knowledge and skils of its employees and the way these are organised.
This session looks at a number of issues around knowledge management and how this apparently abstract concept can be used to improve company performance.
It will cover:
Culture, language and the importance of signals
Explicit and tacit knowledge and their role in creating value
Building revenues without selling
Protecting the knowledge asset during a business sale
The Masterclass will last around two hours with questions and be of interest to business owners and their advisers.
During 2016 we are asking our masterclass attendees to donateato Action for Children if they enjoyed the session and found it useful.For more information on why we are supporting this charity please visit our Virgin Giving page https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Chadwicks-masterclasses

MANOEUVRES ARE EUROPE’S PREMIER TRIBUTE TO OMD… Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – one of the most influential and original bands to emerge from the early days of synth pop in the late 1970’s.
Barry & Sarah created MANOEUVRES to bring you a Tribute Show to OMD brought about by a genuine love and respect for the music of these synth pop pioneers. By focusing on meticulous attention to detail together with a little twist or two of their own, an energetic and authentic stage performance is ensured, faithfully capturing the atmosphere and excitement of a true OMD concert. Performing all of OMD’s many hit songs such as ‘Enola Gay’, ‘Messages’, ‘Sailing On The Seven Seas’ and ‘Souvenir’ to name but a few, MANOEUVRES will leave you with lasting memories of a captivating and unique show that you will want to see again and again.
