handle with knowledge: 2012 planner
DESCRIPTION
A competency approach befits knowledge management and learning. Knowledge Solutions are handy, quick reference guides to tools, methods, and approaches that propel development forward and enhance its effects. They fit in five comprehensive areas: (i) strategy development, (ii) management techniques, (iii) collaboration mechanisms, (iv) knowledge sharing and learning, and (v) knowledge capture and storage. In general, raising organizational performance is contingent on progress in all five areas; however, the Five Competencies Framework can also help determine priorities for immediate action by selecting the area that will yield the greatest benefits if improved. Handle with Knowledge: 2012 Planner will appeal to the development community and people interested in knowledge management and learning.TRANSCRIPT

KNOWLEDGE SOLUTIONSTools, Methods, and Approaches to Drive Development Forwardand Enhance Its Effects
A competency approach befits knowledge management and learning. Knowledge Solutions are handy, quick reference guides to tools, methods, and approachesthat propel development forward and enhance its effects. They fit in five comprehensive areas: (i) strategy development, (ii) management techniques, (iii) collaboration mechanisms, (iv) knowledge sharing and learning, and (v) knowledge capture and storage. In general, raising organizational performance is contingent on progress in all five areas; however, the Five Competencies Framework can also help determine priorities for immediate action by selecting the area that will yield the greatest benefits if improved. Handle with Knowledge: 2012 Planner will appeal to the development community and people interested in knowledge management and learning.

About the Knowledge Management Center
The Knowledge Management Center facilitates knowledge management activities in ADB. It plays a critical role in introducing new knowledge management approaches, monitoring the progress of knowledge management, and reporting to ADB Management.
About the Asian Development Bank
ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.
Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.
