Information and Knowledge Management Strategy training course
Arrange a Knowledge Leaders training workshop in your region or organisation and learn how to facilitate the Information and Knowledge Strategy process from the Information and Knowledge Resource Kit www.ikrk.arrc.com.au.
Have you ever stopped to think…
We all use information and knowledge in our work, but have you ever stopped and thought about how well you and your colleagues are managing information and knowledge?
- Is your organisation properly storing its information? Is it secure? Is it organised in a way that makes it accessible? Do people share the information they have in their bookcases or desk drawers?
- Can staff easily access your organisation’s information stores so that they can readily respond to issues and stakeholder requests?
- Are staff in your organisation free from information overload?
- Is your organisation aware of the difference between ‘information’ and ‘knowledge’?
- Can staff easily access past work so that the organisation is not constantly re-inventing the wheel?
- Do staff know how to find that elusive knowledge in the ‘hidden’ web?
- Are you communicating information and knowledge to your stakeholders in the best possible way? Do know if what you are doing is working?
- Are you accessing the best available information and knowledge to use in your decision making?
How to become a Knowledge Leader
If you answered “no” to any of these questions, your organisation could be much more effective if it developed and implemented an Information and Knowledge Strategy using the process in the Information and Knowledge Resource Kit www.ikrk.arrc.com.au.
We invite you to become a Knowledge Leader in your organisation through the training offered by the Australian River Restoration Centre (ARRC). If you can arrange a sufficient number of participants in your region or organisation, we can work with you to arrange an affordably priced Knowledge Leaders training. To find out more contact ARRC.
What does the training cover?
The Knowledge Leaders training covers:
- Understanding information and knowledge — what are the differences between them and the different strategies needed to maximise their usefulness.
- Learning about information and knowledge management tools and techniques.
- Developing the personal skills to be able to facilitate the five-stage Information and Knowledge Strategy process from the Information and Knowledge Resource Kit www.ikrk.arrc.com.au.
- Using the special facilitation techniques used in the Information and Knowledge Strategy development process, including ‘narrative enquiry’ (Stage three of the process) and ‘sensemaking’ (part of Stage four).
- Building in on-going review and update mechanisms so that your organisation’s Information and Knowledge Strategy is dynamic and responsive to changing policy and organisational environments.
- Working with the NRM Navigator and AANRO (Australian Agriculture and Natural Resources Online).
- Linking in with an on-going mentoring and support program through a facilitated community-of-practice and online resources.
The training is facilitated by Bruce Boyes and Nerida Hart, assisted by ARRC Director Dr Siwan Lovett. As a Program Officer for the Land & Water Australia Knowledge for Regional NRM Program, Bruce led the development of the Information and Knowledge Resource Kit (formerly called the Regional Knowledge Resource Kit). Nerida was formerly the Program Manager of the Knowledge for Regional NRM Program.
