Knowledge Management

In collaboration with the International HIV/AIDS Alliance

Effective Knowledge Management is at the centre of what makes organisations innovative, effective and responsive to everyday and emerging challenges. Sharing knowledge helps you make sure your organisation learns from its experience, enabling you to access the right know-how at the right time and stop your organisation from reinventing the wheel.

This course outlines the process of continuous learning and illustrates how learning and knowledge sharing fits into your programme cycle to become a part of your everyday processes. This enables learning to take place before, during and after any programme, project or activity.

We will give you tools and approaches to help you to build a supportive organisational culture as well as advice on how to overcome common obstacles. Information technology can play a useful part in Knowledge Management so you’ll learn how to combine everyday technology with innovative social networking tools to help you set up knowledge sharing practices which are appropriate to your resources and needs.

This tailor-made course includes time for you to apply each stage of your learning to your organisation’s practical needs, with expert guidance from our facilitator(s).
