Establishing a Knowledge Sharing Culture Learning, Networking, Sharing and Collaboration The Keys to success in the Knowledge based Organization
Two-day masterclass: 14-15 August 2007, Singapore
Knowledge workers take responsibility for their work lives . They continually strive to understand the world about them and modify their work practices and behaviors to better meet their personal and organizational objectives. No one tells them what to do. They do not take No for an answer. They are self motivated.
A two-day masterclass designed to help you:
Stay focused on the business outcomes of cultural change
Overcome the barriers to knowledge sharing
Understand the role of measures, targets and rewards for knowledge sharing
Adopt specific learning and communication tools and techniques
David Gurteen, your masterclass leader will help you to identify the major barriers to collaboration in your organisation, demonstrating how you can work to overcome them in order to establish a culture which supports your knowledge management efforts.
You will be guided step by step through several different communication techniques, learning and sharing techniques that you can apply in your own organisation to improve the success rate of your knowledge management programmes. Finally, you will leave this masterclass with an action plan that will enable you to initiate positive cultural change when you return to the office.

Testimonials
This workshop has been run several times in the past and a number of people have testified to its value. Here are three of those testimonials.
I work as an independent managing consultant helping large corporate organizations implement knowledge management programmes. I am currently working on a long term KM programme with the British Nuclear Group.
The seminar provided me with an opportunity to meet other knowledge workers facing similar challenges. The day was structured around ideas, tools and techniques for becoming more effective. The day confirmed many things I have come to believe such as the importance of dialogue and open conversation.
David has a relaxed open style and encouraged plenty of discussion. The real value in the day for me came from these discussions. David did an excellent job of bringing many disparate ideas together in one place. I was particularly interested to learn about the role social tools can play in developing personal knowledge networks.
I would recommend this seminar to anyone with a practitioner interest in the social aspects of knowledge and learning.

The workshop provided a fantastic foundation in what it means to be a knowledge networker. Practical ideas were offered throughout the day, many of which I have been able to implement in my workplace. The day itself was a wonderful opportunity to network with fellow Knowledge Workers allowing us to put the theory and ideas from the workshop into practice. This was on the whole down to David who is a wonderful speaker and facilitator who encouraged us all to take part and be part of the day’s events.

My name is Chris Pallaris. I am the Chief Editor of the International Relations and Security Network (ISN), an online information service run by the Center for Security Studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).
I have the pleasure of recommending to you this eminar which is organized and hosted by David Gurteen.
Prior to meeting David in June 2006, I was a keen reader of his monthly newsletter and a regular visitor to his website, which is frequently cited as one of the best online resources dedicated to knowledge management (KM) and its related disciplines.
Having learnt that David was also an experienced speaker and instructor, I decided to invite him to the ISN to lecture my staff on the tools, technologies and habits of the effective 21st century knowledge worker.
My decision to do so was driven by a number of factors including David' reputation in the KM community, the content of the workshop program outlined on his site, and the realisation that my staff needed further professional training if they were to thrive as 21st century knowledge workers.
Three months on, I can honestly say that David's workshop has had a profound affect on the day-to-day operational development of my organization. The ideas and methods imparted to us were put into practice almost immediately and with great results. Indeed, they are now the catalyst behind a great many positive changes at the ISN.
Particular mention must be made to the concept of the "knowledge cafe". As pioneered by David and taught to my staff, it has led to a dramatic improvement in terms of inter-team dialog, collaboration and knowledge sharing. Many internal work processes are now being overhauled for the better as a result of these knowledge cafes and we have seen an explosion of new ideas and initiatives on the part of staff at all levels of the organization. Simply put, the knowledge cafe format has empowered all our staff to speak up and take the initiative in ensuring the successful development of the ISN.
I would like to end by praising David Gurteen himself, both as an instructor and as an individual. In the months since our first acquaintance, I have gotten to know David quite well. As an instructor and conference facilitator his style is in the tradition of all the best teachers - thorough, stimulating and effective, with a delivery that is suited to any audience, regardless of background or experience. As an individual he is passionate about his work and the ideas that inform the discipline he works in. I found him to be patient, tolerant and open to new ideas and the opinions of others. It is these traits above all that make him perfectly suited to the work of teaching and consulting on the discipline of knowledge management.
As such, I have no hesitation in recommending him to your conference or organization.
