The Knowledge Practice is about putting knowledge into practice. Everything we do is geared towards making it easy for:
clients to access experienced, proven consultants to address their business need at a compelling price and low risk
consultants and partner organisations to collaborate to create robust solutions for the big client problems.
We recognise that, whichever model clients use to engage us (consultancy, agency, expert panel or virtual internal consultancy), effective collaboration and the sharing of experience and knowledge is critical both to delivering successfully and to finding the right delivery team/solution in the first place.
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Our core asset is our people and the experience and knowledge they possess.
Our model allows freelance consultants for the first time to effectively pool their knowledge and capabilities to provide clients with joined up services.
We share what we know, and we value what we share
We enable and encourage consultants and clients to form communities focused on sharing what they know to solve the issues that matter to them.
Some communities are driven by clients wishing to create a pool of consultants to whom they can turn for advice (the Expert Panel or the Virtual Consultancy).
Others are established by expert consultants and partner organisations wishing to collaborate to develop and promote services and solutions to address client issues.
The value which these communities generate is shared.
We have invested in a highly efficient infrastructure
The interaction between clients, consultants and partners is supported by a comprehensive database and system that presents through our website:
our consultants detailed work experience records
our consultants shared knowledge assets
what our consultants have to say in any community that they are a part of..
This provides clients with a unique ability to ‘touch and feel’ the breadth and depth of our consultants capability.
It also provides our consultants with an unrivalled shop window for their experience.
Clients and Partners who choose to establish their own communities are able to use our state of the art community management system to make management of the community straightforward.
We strive to be equitable
The financial framework that sits behind The Knowledge Practice recognises the value that each individual brings in sharing their knowledge.
We have implemented a transparent financial framework that shares the value created with those who have generated that value.
We believe this is one of the most equitable, yet simple, revenue share models in the market today
