Information Management Portals, Knowledge Sharing Systems, E-Learning Tools: Strategy and Implementation Communities of Practice: Development and Facilitation Learning, Sharing, Collaboration: Integrated Approaches Your team would benefit from stronger connections between dispersed colleagues, and from online sharing of experience and knowledge. Your organization needs to unite around a centralized resource library, both easy to use and well-categorized. You want your trainings to incorporate ongoing, year-round online learning resources, accessible on-demand. To develop collaborative and knowledge-sharing solutions that actually "catch on," start with a careful strategy based on deep understanding of the social, technological, and logistical issues that can make these efforts fail or thrive. Sometimes clients can be distracted by a perceived need for a large, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink IT application, when what is actually needed is less IT and more focus on human facilitation -- the indispensible element that is almost always forgotten. Other times, of course, a powerful but focused application is truly needed. For fifteen years, Eric Stephan has strategized, developed and facilitated solutions that bring people together around knowledge and information. Your situation may call for Learning Management Systems, mobile devices, intensive effort in developing communities of practice, live or multiple-day asynchronous online events. You may need a strong liaison to ensure crystal-clear communication with I.T. personnel, or you may simply need assistance with the selection of the right Software-as-a-Service application. No matter what the focus, starting with a strong, sensible assessment of your real needs and assets can eliminate wasted effort, and sooner bring about the best resources for your team.
