The global Knowledge Economy is changing the rules of the game for every enterprise, industry, and profession. Moreover, the challenge of lifting out of the Great Recession is requiring new practices in order to achieve financial sustainability over the next decade. 

Strategic Initiatives is a recognized leader in guiding enterprises in developing multi-faceted strategies to gain and sustain competitive advantage in the new competitive environment, post-recession.
We wrote the internationally recognized book, Transforming eKnowledge, to capture the impact that Web-based interactivity would have on every industry, enterprise, and institution attempting to compete in the Knowledge Economy. We have put this know-how to work in consulting projects with universities, associations, corporations, and federal agencies to unleash the power of competing on knowledge. Over the past two years we have written a series of White Papers to guide higher education in lifting out of Recession: “Linking analytiucs to Lifting Out of Recession” and “Resilience”.

Web 2.0-based practices have accelerated these deevelopments. Every industry is in the process of reimaging their perspectives, processes and practices to establish financial sustainability, post-recession. This is what John Hagel calls the “Big Shift.” Leading-edge practitioners are learning to engage in the continuously changing knowledge flows that characterize Knowledge 2.0. They are also learning the need to reinvent their approaches to learning, competence, diffusion and commercialization of research findings, innovations, and entrepreneurship.

Strategic Initiatives is working at all levels – enterprise, state, national ministry – to sort out the challenges of thriving in the Knowledge Economy and discovering the competitive advantage and financial sustainability that will only come from shrewd insight, difficult judgments, and aligning strategies with the demands of the times.
