Atlantis Systems International is a publicly traded, high tech engineering firm that develops simulation –based training systems for militaries, airlines, government and Industry. The company has been in business for 25 years and employs approximately 120 people, 75% of whom are degreed professionals.

Over the past 5 years the company has undergone an extended period of instability that has resulted a decrease in employee satisfaction evidenced by a relatively high, top-level employee turnover rate and a reduction in research and development activities.

As the company moves forward a re-building of the culture is necessary. New management and employees have identified doing a better job with knowledge processes as a critical success factor in improving internal processes related to the effective delivery of products and services and in identifying new markets for these products and services.

Andrew Day, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlantis will present an overview of the present state of the company and in doing so will identify key challenges that need to be addressed in order to create a knowledge building culture within the company. These challenges will be taken up in workshops following the presentation.
