Learning Lessons in ADB

Summary:

Information and knowledge are now seen as the principal drivers of value creation, outstripping land, labor, and capital goods. It follows that acquisition, integration, and dissemination of knowledge must be understood as a dynamic process that spans and crosses the boundaries of an organization. The Asian Development Bank has committed to become a learning organization. This publication sets the strategic framework for knowledge management in operations evaluation. It draws elements of knowledge, relationships, context, external environment, interfaces, and architecture in a conceptual structure to generate an operating framework within which decisions on knowledge management initiatives can be taken and implemented.
