  • Prinzipien: "In a knowledge society everyone's a volunteer (Drucker, glaube ich)" oder auch "Man kann den Menschen Gehorsam befehlen, aber kein Wissen" (Konfuzius) Das sind für mich grundlegende Einsichten in Sachen Umgang mit Wissen und wissensorientiertes Handeln bzw. wissensorientierte Führung

Boris Jäger

  • Wir wissen nicht wie man Wissen systematisch managt. Wir haben aber eine gewisse Vorstellung davon, wie systematisches WM gehen müsste. Durch Neugier und vertrauensvolle Zusammenarbeit lernen wir ständig dazu.
