Rationale

Does your organization suffer from knowledge blindspots, mismatches and jail?  Knowledge Jam is a process
for using facilitated conversation to get out hidden know-how from teams and experts, and to put it to work
with the help of the organizations that need it most.  It is built around the disciplines of facilitation, conversation,
and translation, and draws on the practices of organizational learning, social media, and intelligence acquisition.

Kate Pugh will take the students through the process, and we'll explore how Knowledge Jam can help when Knowledge is at risk, such as in any corporate change, executive transitions, merger integrations, offshoring,
and sales expansion. We'll also learn how to successfully set up a Knowledge Jam program for your own team and organization.
