“Once you have tasted of the sky, you will forever look up”

Happy Friday! Can you believe that next week it will be May?!

This week I went into my “archives” and found some of my sky pictures. The sky is my favorite photography subject of all. I find the continuity of it calming and the discontinuity of it thrilling.

May they bring you as much joy as they bring to…

I have always had this habit of putting off my work until the very last minute. On some level, the time crunch forces me to solidify my thoughts and is beneficial. But, for the most part, I am just delaying a task that needs to be completed and running the risk of putting people in a difficult position.

The Silent Generation, an introduction

Talk-through, walk-through, run-through: learning needs practising on different levels was the subject of the SKMF Round Table sponsored by IT-Logix in Bern, October 18, 2016. It was an opportunity for like-minded professionals to network and to gain hands-on experience on knowledge flows and knowledge transfer.

Participants found the round table to be of great value, giving them a solid overview of how IT Logix deals with the challenges of knowledge sharing. “The content, combined with exercises we delved into during the round table, was practical; it will be easily applied to knowledge management cases” expressed Anders Bröchner. David Gemmet’s biggest take away was “how knowledge transfer as an unstructured field can be managed by utilising a structured approach such as talk-through, walk-through and run-through.”

The SKMF thanks IT-Logix for hosting the round table and for its warm hospitality including the wonderful buffet. It was a great workshop and a perfect location for people to meet and share KM perspectives.

sharing knowledge is powerful

When General Stanley McChrystal started fighting al Qaeda in 2003, information and secrets were the lifeblood of his operations. But as the unconventional battle waged on, he began to think that the culture of keeping important information classified was misguided and actually counterproductive. In a short but powerful talk McChrystal makes the case for actively sharing knowledge.
