Implementing Knowledge-Sharing across the Organization
As a speaker and leader Seth Kahan helps organizations build communities of communication, brought together by a sense of purpose and knowledge. He helps individuals learn the leadership styles and leadership skills in order to lead their business community forward.
Primary Activities of the Implementation Plan:
1) Engage the senior leadership team in a review of:
a) Personal leadership style –personal ability to foster knowledge-sharing among
subordinates and peers.
b) Business process & policy – evaluate and improve existing business processes (e.g.,
performance review and supervision) to support knowledge-sharing.
2) Start strategic learning communities among employees
3) Teach employees how to build learning communities with stakeholders, and provide personal guidance during implementation.
4) Train a team of “Knowledge Sharing Specialists,” 2-4 staff members who receive special training to become champions of the knowledge sharing culture.
5) Conduct an organization-wide "Knowledge Fair." Several weeks following the final training session, employees create this day-long event in which they prepare “exhibits” of their efforts in knowledge-sharing. These can include collections of lessons learned to share with colleagues, directories of expertise, joint projects developed with stakeholders.
