IN-PLANTS: Tomorrow’s Knowledge Managers?

Look Beyond Traditional Views
By seeking to integrate the in-plant’s capabilities into the organization’s core business processes, in-plant managers are challenged to think in terms of interconnecting activities that occur throughout the organization in support of its strategic objectives. Such thinking requires managers to look beyond the common model of the in-plant as just a business unit. It also encourages them to become more visible throughout the organization and to seek opportunities to observe, understand and influence the trends that are shaping their organizations.
