As knowledge management professionals, we understand that preserving critical knowledge goes beyond safeguarding documents—it entails safeguarding relationships, insights, and hard-earned lessons. How can organizations tackle this risk effectively? What strategies are proving successful in today’s dynamic landscape? How can members of KM4Dev extend support to one another?
In this session, we will explore the challenges posed by global shifts and organizational crises, such as those observed at USAID, emphasizing the fragility of institutional knowledge. Let’s share ideas, question assumptions, and progress collectively to prevent the irreversible loss of vital knowledge.
Our guests include Ivett Bene, Piers Bocock, Ian Thorpe, Tony Pryor, and Denise Senmartin, bringing insights from Europe, USA, USAID, Argentina, and UN.
Facilitated by Nancy Wright White, Sarah Cummings, and Gladys Kemboi, this session promises an urgent and stimulating dialogue. Your perspectives are invaluable—join us for an enriching exchange of ideas!
