Join the new Friends of the RKRK Yahoo! Group now!
23-Jun-2008
A new Friends of the Regional Knowledge Resource Kit (RKRK) Yahoo! Group has been set up after people experienced problems with the previous website. The Friends of the Regional Knowledge Resource Kit (RKRK) is a community of NRM professionals interested in the management of NRM information and knowledge including the development and implementation of Regional Knowledge Strategies. You will find in this group:
- a discussion forum where you can share your experiences and seek help;
- examples of completed Regional Knowledge Strategies; and
- access to the materials from the Knowledge Leaders training.
Anyone who is involved with regional NRM and has an interest in information management or knowledge management is invited to apply to join the new group - please click here for details.
New paper highlights the benefits of narrative in knowledge management
30-May-2008
The Regional Knowledge Strategy process described here in the Regional Knowledge Resource Kit (RKRK) takes an approach that is based on a knowledge of both complexity and narratives, and reflects a holistic approach in working at both systemic and personal levels to help organisations and their people move forward. A new whitepaper from Anecdote, who consulted in the development of the Regional Knowledge Strategy process and the RKRK, highlights the benefits of this approach. The whitepaper can be downloaded here.
Knowledge Leaders training wraps up
30-May-2008
Next week the last of ten Knowledge Leaders training workshops will be held in Perth. Once the Perth training has been completed, representatives from 38 of Australia's 56 regional NRM bodies will have been trained, as well as a number of representatives from Australia's Rural R&D Corporations and other similar NRM and R&D organisations that work with regional NRM bodies. Two earlier workshops also trained a range of people who work with regional NRM bodies at a State/Territory level, including Australian Government NRM Facilitators, State agency officers, and State regional NRM support organisations.
Participant feedback from the Knowledge Leaders training workshops has been overwhelmingly positive, with the trained Leaders now ready to move forward on the development of a Regional Knowledge Strategy when their region or organisation is ready.
