The high increase in the average amount of economic related with security also, that now in the evaluation of the damage also costs are included, even if they can be precisely quantified.

Instead to distribute information to large groups, can Web 2.0 applications the receiver the choice to decide what information it obtains. The Central Administration content turns so that the content, are created by the user by all groups and updated. There is a culture of personal responsibility and partnership. Based on the result, be knowledge processes faster and more efficient, because decentralized procedures are responsive and require no central business unit.

Let extract us the business strategic tasks relating to knowledge management from the major trends in the coming years. The list1 looked so not exhaustive:

1. Layout of a participatory culture
Knowledge workers can access in a process-oriented manner to required data. You need to integrate usually not more data from various applications. According to analysts the productivity / efficiency of these jobs will increase so significantly. The new virtual applications be cut from central IT functions only on bigger role requirements, fine adjustment is can be done by the knowledge workers themselves. For this are not only internal back-end applications to bear, but also public from the Internet as well as “software as a service”-applications.

2. Competitive differentiation by quantity and quality of their innovations
Removing protective measures of protection, the today’s technology advantage in Europe will be only through increased product, process and organization innovations more or less to maintain.

The period of employment in the relevant group is not resistant input set; in General, it is the employment of between 3-36 months. Mainly involves experienced executives who gained expertise in their previous position and on top of that now as an independent company driver on time at any time prove her skill. Manager in use are estimated at present in Germany between ten to fifteen thousand professional interim. By the significance of this method of management, the mediation process is professionalized growing interim managers. Usually, this particular form of executive search using professional is consultants or headhunter. Some international recruiters have the trend itself is discovered and established an interim manager pool with the company in the short term reporting requirements, generally fast and consistently helping out. It forecast for the period ahead, that the important increase of the interim management in Germany still will continue to through a leadership.
