If you have not already done so, why not register for the LWA Legacy Conference or our Knowledge Leaders training course? We are pleased with the responses so far, and encourage you to get in early to avoid disappointment.
And, if you have a group of 10 or more people wanting to do the Knowledge Leaders training course we can come to you. See Bruce’s blog post for details about the latest organisation to benefit from the Information and Knowledge Strategy process, which you could facilitate in your organisation after completing the Knowledge Leaders training!

The last few months have been a flurry of activity as we have hit the phones and emails to line up a fantastic group of speakers and book co-authors for the Knowledge for managing Australian Landscapes: The legacy of Land & Water Australia Conference and proceedings book.
The program has been designed to try to present a cross-section of the LWRRDC/LWA portfolio from 1990-2009. It is unashamedly biased towards those innovations that have emerged as having high impact and good returns on investment through the portfolio evaluation work of the last decade, but we have also found room for some more recent significant work such as Senior Research Fellowships. We encourage you to come along and be part of what promises to be a terrific event!

Last week I wrapped up the Information and Knowledge Strategy workshops for the NSW Government Office of the Hawkesbury Nepean (OHN). From the workshop process OHN now has a Strategy with tangible actions to implement over the coming six months as well as further actions to implement in the longer term through a continuous review, planning and improvement process.
The Strategy will greatly assist OHN in its role of improving public access to information and advice about management strategies concerning the health of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System.
The work of your NRM organisation could also benefit from an Information and Knowledge Strategy. To find out how you could be trained to facilitate the process in your organisation click here, and to find out more about the Information and Knowledge Strategy process click here.
