Apprendere in comune. La conoscenza: dal singolo all'organizzazione in un contesto pubblico

Knowledge, in a period of globalization, is more and more important for a successful organization. Even for the Public Organizations. Nowadays, they are subjected (suffering?) pressures from two sides. For a start, they suffered because of the (togli la a) a reduction of two kinds of resources: the economics ones and the human ones, consisting in a reduction of governmental transfer and of the freeze of hirings. In the second place, they are forced to be flexible by individualization of necessity typical of our times. In order to satisfy these pressures, the Public Organizations have two possibilities: either to give up performing their fundamental functions or to use differently their resources. The First solution is dangerous because it can cause the separation between civil society and politics compromising democratic processes of our country. Choosing the second way is necessary. This research is focused on the most important govern level in our country: Local Council. According to the theoretical pattern described by Ikushiro Nonaka, this research shows which are the most important dynamics of creation and diffusion of the knowledge in the Local Council of Verona (Comune di Verona) and which remark it possible to make about the relation between individual and organization in a public context.
