Conversation is an excellent cost-effective means of knowledge sharing within organisations. Efficient knowledge sharing improves competitive advantage, innovation and trusting networks. Serendipitous conversation uncovers unexpected synergies. How can those charged with improving knowledge sharing encourage conversations within the workplace?
The "RCT" is an idea from NESTA for organised serendipitous conversations at work.
Come along to learn how you can join organisations such as BAE Systems, Linklaters, Cabinet Office and Bank of England who are already benefiting from similar systems; learn about the value of conversation for improving innovation and competitive advantage within your business and how you can create a simple, cost-effective system for serendipitous conversations at your workplace.
This event is particularly suitable for those working in professional services (law firms, accountants etc). Most attendees are information professionals, Heads of Knowledge, Development and Learning, and Knowledge Lawyers/PSLs.
Speakers - Helene Russell, author of "KM Handbook" and Michael Soto, co-creator of the RCT programme at NESTA from USA by video/audio link.
Tea and coffee is provided at this event. If you wish, feel free to bring your lunch along too.
Book via Eventbrite or email me to be invoiced.
Early bird ticket, bought before 12th March £95.
