Living knowledge bases

Training and transfer of knowledge is part of a computer specialists live. But where do they get all that knowledge?

Have a look at the following figures for an insight:

Training delivered by

Colleagues/Bosses     94%
Literature               85%
Tech talks               83%
External seminars     80%
Internal seminars      75%
Knowledge transfer  70%
Congress                 66%
Other                     60%

Knowledge transfer delivered by colleagues is a key argument for implementing knowledge management technology in IT departments and businesses.

But at the same time, the high value of training by using literature doesn’t mean the occasional look up of a simple but forgotten command. Specialists are training by using paper or electronic literature in order to expand their command over the newest technology.
