Abstract:

Make the link between executive focus and your value contribution. Business executives are excited by shareholder or stakeholder value. For commercial enterprises, this is top-line and bottom-line financial growth. For non-commercial enterprises this is constituency and political capital. Knowledge and information investments contribute at the business operational level. Information professionals need to articulate a 'trail of evidence' for their business colleagues to clarify and explain their value contribution. Knowledge-based initiatives are often unfocussed and not linked adequately to business outcomes. Leveraging knowledge assets effectively requires well focussed initiatives clearly linked to business performance.
