Knowledge management practices are notoriously difficult to standardise. Every project, every programme and every organisation is different – and what works in one place can be a disaster in another.

In this Knowledge SIG webinar you will hear three different case studies:

• Michael
  • How social collaboration tools have changed the way we collaborate in the public sector.
• Adrian
  • Application of agile to knowledge sharing: sprints, scrums, failing fast and the power of Trojan Mice.
• Andy
  • Systematic approach to sharing knowledge across projects

Having heard these three case studies, Martin will chair a Q+A session with the three speakers, with questions invited from the webinar audience.

At the end of the session delegates will have a better understanding of what Knowledge Management means in practice and will have some working examples of the way others manage knowledge in their environments.

Delegates will be able to re-think the way their own organisation could adapt its own knowledge practices.
