Pawan Handa, PhD, retired from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company after holding several global R&D leadership positions, including strategy development and integration. His last assignment was leading the knowledge management effort. Jean Pagani has spent more than forty years working on issues related to knowledge articulation, sharing and internalization in global corporate, social, and civic spheres. Her work focuses on helping organizations address cultural barriers that challenge their ability to fully realize the potential value of their ideas. Denise Bedford, PhD, is faculty at Georgetown University, a Visiting Scholar at University of Coventry, and Distinguished Practitioner, U.S. Department of State.

Taking a project-management approach, Handa, Pagani, and Bedford describe how an organization can prepare for and conduct an audit of its knowledge assets and processes. In addition to identifying tasks and sub-tasks to achieve a reliable, repeatable, and valid audit, they set out criteria for deciding what to audit, how to audit it, and how to interpret and communicate the results. The sections cover auditing knowledge, defining and identifying knowledge assets, managing knowledge assets, and accounting for knowledge assets. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
