Valuing
Knowledge
Our Ethic: Challenge
and Change
Knowledge-driven organisations in both the
public and private sectors face extraordinary opportunities,
and unprecedented challenges. The visible challenges are
well recognised, and largely generic.
-
The knowledge base changes at extraordinary
speed, and keeping up to date is daunting
-
New ethical dilemmas multiply
-
Defining intellectual property, and finding
appropriate ways of exploiting it, redefines the character
of research
-
Mobile computing and communications technology
forces innovation in working practices
-
Public concerns grow about the risks of
research, while demands for more effective, safer, cheaper
products and services have never been greater
-
Markets are increasingly global, and increasingly
volatile
-
Regulatory demands increase in level and
complexity year by year.
In seeking to meet visible challenges, organisations
may neglect, or not even seek to identify, the invisible
challenges they pose themselves, in their structures, cultures
and patterns of communication. AleffGroup's expertise lies
in identifying and solving them. That means finding what
to change, and changing it.
Languages and
Cultures
AleffGroup works routinely in a number of
major languages, including English, French, Arabic, Spanish,
German and Italian. The Group sees cultural diversity as
key to the preservation of valuable knowledge.
A Partnering
Approach to Products and Solutions
In Europe and the United States, AleffGroup
clients include large corporations, government bodies, reference
organisation and professional associations. They share a
common wish to respond imaginatively, but concretely, to
a recognised need for change in accomplishing their missions.
