Knowledge Management Activity: The Share / Learn Board

This morning I facilitated a workshop around with the aim of getting people to connect and talk to fill knowledge gaps. There was no technology, and it was a stand up event. I had them do two rounds of one-on-one exchange of a topic they are working on ("SHARE") and a topic they need knowledge in ("LEARN"). It was engaging, fun and very effective.
At the end they had to write their share and learn topics, with name and extension number onto post-it notes and stick them up onto the share and learn lists. These were then fixed to the wall opposite the photocopier, in the main traffic area so people can see, add, connect and exchange...
Let's hope the momentum keeps up!

	More on The Share / Learn Board Interesting practical example… Did you also have deeper intentions with this activity? Did you consider a further follow-up?

	More Uses of The Share / Learn Board @Jaap de Jonge: This instance was intended as a pilot to gauge success and make the decision whether to do it at other sites. I indicated to the group that a share/learn board can also be used in team meetings. There is big opportunity to repeat this, as people are already getting value out of it. The survey results so far have been very positive. My days here are numbered as I am moving to another knowledge management opportunity in a different organisation within a month. I look forward to conducting this exercise there too.
