Expert knowledge sharing & learning that adds real value
When does our vast experience spark genuine interest and translate into organisational change, and how do we leverage such learning?
Smart and lean knowledge sharing outperforms tedious documentation by identifying real learning needs and meeting these through efficient, collaborative processes.
How we add value
Knowledge sharing redeems its promise when we cater to genuine user value and inquire how people really learn. Knowledge as a complex human quality precludes simplistic solutions. It requires digging deeper into who needs to know what and how to effectively design transfer and learning processes.
We do this by:
1
Researching what knowledge is practically relevant
User-centred sharing & learning start with an inquiry into what constitutes practical value for intended recipients.
2
Targeting essentials and eliminating noise
A radical focus on practical relevance and maximum value-for-effort demands reducing the nice-to-know parts.
3
Creating lean, purpose-driven ways to learn
Substitute lengthy, prescriptive reports with inspirational methods and instruments for sharing and engaging with knowledge.
“Which insights and experiences will make a real difference – and for whom?”
Let’s inquire into prospective learners’ knowledge gaps, interests and needs.
Shared knowledge must be applicable and inspirational to help people act more thoughtfully, considerately and swiftly. The sharing process must be designed to ease transfer and learning. It must target a few issues with the highest learning impact and practical value while avoiding blueprints.
Our track record
Study Results Sharing
Swiss Centre of Competence for International Cooperation (CINFO)
The goal: an engaging instrument to share CAPEX study results.
IPK developed an innovative research and harvesting process to capitalise on the experience (CAPEX) of how Swiss development organisations address the brain drain caused by the retirement of baby boomers. Upon completing the research and harvesting, we developed a communication and dissemination tool called thinkDESIGNprompts, which encourages users to engage in-depth with crucial questions and study insights emerging from the CAPEX study in playful ways.
Experience-based Peer-to-peer Support
GIZ-SUN Global Programme
The goal: empower staff to navigate inter-organisational collaborations more purposefully and agilely.
We tailored a process to develop an experience-based guide for GIZ teams to foster better relationships with external partners, fully embracing the complexity and messy nature of human interactions and relations. This co-creative process allowed diverse perspectives to generate a comprehensive picture and shape the output. We thoughtfully extracted insights from real-world stories and incidents, which were simultaneously used and disseminated in a very approachable format.
CoP Facilitator Training
Swisscontact
The goal: capacitate facilitators to nurture and shape thriving communities of practice (CoP).
IPK created a bespoke curriculum, including training materials and activities, responding to the organisation's strategic plans. We delivered multiple basic and advanced training interventions, mentored CoP leaders throughout their learning transfer and conducted reflection and learning sessions to improve their emerging practice continuously. In this long-term mandate, IPK kept innovating and improving the curriculum and designed follow-on interventions which responded to emerging needs over multiple years.
