Yet again I am writing this knowledge letter from a hotel. I have just spent a few days in Cape Town and am now in Joburg for the ICKE 2009 conference. I have also been running more Knowledge Cafe masterclasses that get better and better. There seems to be a huge pent up desire by people to see more conversation in the workplace in a variety of forms.
I ran a Knowledge Cafe at a Peninsula Toastmasters evening in Cape Town.
I had often suspected that Toastmasters were rather stuffy affairs but far from it ... I met a great bunch of people; heard some inspiring talks and all in all had a tremendous evening.
Earlier this week, I was delighted to receive a Google Wave invite and to find a small nascent KM community on Wave. I don't have any spare invites. (Google give you 8 additional invites to share with friends if they invite you.) but if you are already using Google Wave then do send me a wave to say hello and I will connect you to the other KMers. My address is dgurteen@googlewave.com
