INTRODUCTION

One of the key challenges and immense opportunities for improving business performance in any organization is that of getting people to share their knowledge. Why should people give up their knowledge when they see it as a key personal advantage?

And when people do come to understand that in the knowledge economy ‘sharing knowledge is power’ rather then ‘hoarding knowledge is power’ – how do they best go about sharing their knowledge and putting it into action.!

WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop consists of a number of modules. The objective of each session is to inspire you to take action. Each session has a list of practical suggestions of “things to do “ -- ideas that if you put into action can ‘make a difference’. Each session also comes with a list of resources for further study that can be found on the gurteen.com website.

The workshop is designed to be interactive and participatory. It allows you to engage with the theme through conversation, discussion and group working. One of the aims of the workshop is to foster a ‘community spirit’ in order that you make friends with each other and continue to work together and support each other after the workshop is over.
