Moreover i think these events are a great way to kick-start new converstations, initiatives and innovations. I just met for lunch with two colleagues who work as KS specialists on campus to brainstorm our contributions for the Share Fair. would you believe it's the first time we've ever gotten together to talk about these things?!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881321253767550897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604778214275843831.post-6694485517324392632008-10-23T15:21:00.000+02:002008-10-23T15:21:00.000+02:00Carl, Thanks for your comment.

He facilitated the whole process and as a result it was a success.<BR/><BR/>The openhouse was followed by a debate, where the other members of senior management acknowledged that this was indeed a very useful event as they learnt about all sorts of KM activities which they did not know anything about. This shows that we all suffer from the syndrome "we do not know what we know"!Roxanna Samiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187694720212730520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604778214275843831.post-60227986192497528852008-10-23T15:03:00.000+02:002008-10-23T15:03:00.000+02:00Hi - do the examples you give show how its possibl...Hi - do the examples you give show how its possible for an emergent group to give itself permission to organise an enabling environment. Open House days and Share Fairs are great at enabling others, but due to the necessarily limited duration and frequency of big events, can't by themselves sustain this environmental effect. Maybe the organisers of the Share Fair could let others know about how you gave yourselves permission to act; and share your vision for dozens of mini-fares and open houses spontaneously arising after the January event?Carl_wkghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787075891534097793noreply@blogger.com
