About this learning event

Knowledge is a strategic resource of modern organizations, its effective management is critical for their survival and competitiveness. At this learning event, participants will gain a better understanding of why it is important to systematically manage knowledge and introduce continuous learning culture by investing in the capacity of each employee. The webinar will showcase experiences from the ToT: Knowledge Management in Public Institutions, and at the same time will open new knowledge ‘treasure boxes’ by addressing codification, socialization and change management approaches in knowledge management.

The webinar will address the following:

• What is the value of capturing knowledge? How can lessons learned be promoted, transferred, and reused by others? How can proper knowledge codification improve the effectiveness of the organization?
• Connecting to others who can provide assistance or who can benefit from experiential knowledge sharing is a powerful way to leverage each person's individual knowledge. How can we communicate, and transfer solutions and lessons learned across organizational silos? How can we collaborate and learn better together? Why are social interactions needed when addressing new and complex problems?
• During the process of implementing new knowledge, individuals’ and the organization’s belief systems would have to face changes that require shifts in individuals’ thinking and behavior. Which change mechanisms need to be implemented for the change to happen? How can we describe the change process when implementing knowledge management initiatives? Should a top-down or a bottom-up approach be used to increase the likelihood of success?

After the webinar, participants will recognize the value-added of a systematic approach to learning and knowledge sharing within institutions. They will gain tactics on how to approach knowledge capturing and how to include others in knowledge sharing. They will understand better the change mechanisms that influence the implementation of knowledge management principles in their organizations.
