Summary

The demand for knowledge is increasing every day, as is the sheer volume of knowledge that is available to an organization and its team members. At the same time, organizations are facing the retirement of significant numbers of their knowledge workers. These realities are making it critical to reduce time to competency. To bring team members up to speed quickly and help them work independently, the learning and knowledge teams must work together effectively.

This issue of TD at Work will:

Provide an overview of the current situation of how learning and knowledge management teams work together.
Identify key forces driving both teams to change.
Present a strategy for building a partnership focused on delivering faster time to competency.
