Isolation and limited interaction in the workspace are not only impacting us socially. They are exacting a heavy toll on the role serendipity has in knowledge sharing and creation. In this webinar, Kent Greenes will share his learning and insights on ways to increase serendipity through cultural, procedural and technical enablers that have been the cornerstone of Knowledge management since its beginnings in the workplace.
Some of the key enablers Kent will cover include:
• Chance favoring the prepared mind
• Informal knowledge communities and networks
• Half-don’t knows
• Sharing failures and successes
• Stories from multiple voices
• Facilitating opportunistic encounters
Kent will use examples, stories and questions to prompt a dialogue that leverages the experience of the participants as well as his own. Please join us for a highly interactive session.
