Earn Certification Based on the New "Radical KM" Approach

Radical KM is a call to action for knowledge management to step outside
the box and consider the needs of knowledge workers. What do knowledge workers need in order to be successful in the 21st century?  

What will help them deal with the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) of our organisations and economic systems?

Join our 2-day class (4 half-days) and disover a new way to boost your Knowledge Management efforts and gain success!

Introduction

Knowledge management isn't working theway we need it to. Data is trapped in silos. Expertise goes unshared. Culturestays stuck. And traditional KM approaches—systems-heavy, process-focused—misswhat actually drives knowledge flow: human connection, psychological safety,and the courage to share what we know. 

This 2-day (4-half day) intensive classreimagines KM through creativity. You'll discover how arts-based interventionsunlock tacit knowledge, build trust, and transform how your organisation shareswhat it knows. Using painting, storytelling, and guided reflection, you'llexplore the Five Pillars of Knowledge-Sharing Culture—intuition, communication,confidence, leadership, and systems thinking—and leave with a concrete 30-daystrategy to bring Creative (Radical) KM to your team.

Who Should Attend

Our artistic interventions are about the process, not the product; you do not need a background in art or painting - in fact, we encourage those new to join!
‍

What to Expect

The course is experiential, fun, engaging, and about doing things differently, being curious, and open-minded.

Instructor Profile: Stephanie Barnes

Stephanie took her early career quite seriously, focusing initially on accounting and then information technology, and knowledge management (she has a BBA in accounting and an MBA in information technology) but then she discovered painting and fell in love. She realized work could be fun and slowly started to bring art and creativity into her consulting practice, spreading the fun and the insights that came with it to those she worked with.

Developing and sustaining an art practice taught Stephanie lessons about challenging assumptions and the courage to try new things, not to mention improving her resilience. She now shares these lessons (and more) in her workshops helping people develop these qualities and organisations to be more creative and innovative.

Stephanie likes making a connection with people through sharing experiences and lessons learned wherever the lessons might have come from as well as spending time in nature, art galleries, museums, and at the symphony.
