Value networks: how organisations really work An Interview with Verna Allee

Alexander Schieffer

Knowledge Management Research & Practice, 2004, vol. 2, issue 3, 194-199

Abstract: This interview seeks to reframe the traditional perspective on organisations. Verna Allee's work gives meaning to how the networked organisation can be understood in a very practical way. She changes the lens from hierarchy to network, from process to people, from structure to relationship. Her innovative thinking strips away traditional business thinking to reveal the new patterns of management practice essential for success in a more complex and dynamic business environment. With her systems diagramming tools, which map knowledge exchanges in the context of relationships, she provides a profound understanding of how value is created in organisations. Her approach demonstrates how and why making visible the intangible dimensions of relationships and knowledge exchanges significantly contributes to value creation and business self-organisation.
