<p>The main area of consultancy focus is <em><strong>Optimising Sales Force efficiency by effectively managing and delivering the knowledge required to meet customer demands</strong></em>.</p>
<p>This service is based on eight years of experience in this field.  The unique value offered is to bring together all of the (traditionally separate) threads of content management, communications and learning to assemble a <strong><em>coherent, program-managed knowledge transfer toolkit</em></strong>, focused on the particular needs of a business-to-business sales force.  A key element in putting this program into place is to manage the required behaviours of all participants by encouraging knowledge sharing.</p>
<p>Similar consultancy services can also be tailor-made for other areas of business.  In full, the services offered by AcKnowledge include consultancy, advice, facilitation, public speaking and project delivery in fields including:</p>
<ul>

<li>Organisational communication</li>
<li>Learning strategies, development and delivery</li>
<li>Business Improvement</li>
<li>Change Management</li>
<li>Knowledge sharing tools and techniques</li>

<p><strong>About this site</strong></p>
<p>Over half of the workforce in Australia is now composed of “knowledge workers”.  These people work in jobs that depend more on what they know than on physical activity.  We are relying less on manual labour in factories, and more on using knowledge. </p>
<p>This site features posts and articles on the field of Knowledge Management, and related areas of human communication, learning, language, life in general and the impacts of IT and communications technologies. </p>
<p>It also includes a <a title="Other content" href="http://delarue.net/blog/old-home-page/">range of other topics</a> - little-known facts about a range of authors and others – Roald Dahl, Nevil Shute, Hedy Lamar, Ian Fleming and Peter Pinney.  There is a full bibliography and other information on the Australian author Ion Idriess.</p>
<p>Read some conjecture about boab trees and more.  Find out about big cats in Australia, and the De La Rue family genealogy.</p>
