Knowledge value chain

A sequence of intellectual tasks by which knowledge workers build their employer's unique competitive advantage and/or social and environmental benefit. As an example, the components of a research and development project form a knowledge value chain.

Productivity improvements in a knowledge value chain may come from knowledge integration in its original sense and also as it denotes the use of knowledge management techniques, particularly work-embedded learning, to improve a business process or processes. Canada's [Edge Performance Consultants] are "knowledge integration leaders" in the latter sense.
