I've been following Roger and his team's work at NASA starting with APPEL well over a decade ago...and to this day, I often refer, (and refer others), to it for guidance and best practices. What has resonated with me from the beginning was its simplicity and common sense approach toward capturing and sharing knowledge--using a creative mix of formal, informal interventions based on maximizing peer-to-peer collaboration. This book IS a blueprint for anyone starting and operating a robust KM model in their organization without the complexities.--Jerry Colello, Director-Knowledge Management, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Raytheon Technologies Corporation Knowledge has to be captured and then transferred to a new project where it can be used. Project professionals need to be trained in its use. Roger Forsgren's delightful book clearly explains how NASA achieved that.--Dr. Rodney Turner, Former President and Chairman at International Project Management Association Too often, Knowledge Management has been seen as a somewhat confusing and ineffective process, but now Roger Forsgren unravels the complexities and clearly demonstrates how an organization's culture can be transformed. By focusing on critical knowledge and utilizing the practical tools described in Lean Knowledge Management, any organization, even a research and development one, can reduce overall costs, gain process efficiencies, product reliability, and grow customer satisfaction. This powerful tool helped transform NASA by learning the difficult lessons of its past and it can help any organization develop a culture of safety, efficiency, and dependability.--Dr. Andrew Liou, Executive Vice President, Foxconn Technology Group
