Simple fact: To compete, you have to stay on the ball
![Page 3: Knowledge Playlists - Do-it-Ourselves Continuous Learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587cb2f21a28ab38028b50cb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
But there are often setbacks in acquiring the knowledge we need, especially in smaller organizations:
- Tight budgets- Limited resources
![Page 4: Knowledge Playlists - Do-it-Ourselves Continuous Learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587cb2f21a28ab38028b50cb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
- Limited internal structure to support training- Resistance from management to invest in learning for awareness vs. necessity

And it’s often the case that a few individuals complete training but the entire organization never benefits

Solution: Implement shared Knowledge Playlists of curated information across your organization
![Page 7: Knowledge Playlists - Do-it-Ourselves Continuous Learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587cb2f21a28ab38028b50cb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A Knowledge Playlist is a compilation of information resources, groups, and activities on a given subject area (ideally free or low-cost)
