From workplace courses to global conversations

cc on flickr by Kris HoetA few months back, Josien Kapma and I were invited to write an article for the Dutch publication,
Leren in Organisaties. We had a good time co-writing using Google docs, a little skyping and slowly iterating back and forth. We had FAR more we wanted to write and had to edit out a lot, making us both appreciate how rich the topic is of moving beyond the formal workplace training model and blending it with the rich and ongoing learning we experience in our global communities and conversations.

The journal is not yet online, so we have permission to share it with you. You have two options:

FAO/CGIAR KS Workshop II Agenda

Snippet of Flyer PDFI’m very happy to be involved in the second iteration of the Knowledge Sharing Workshop, this time with FAO joining forces with the CGIAR ICT-KM group to offer the workshop. We’ve learned from our first version and have just ginned up the agenda for the second offering. You can see it here –> FAO/CGIAR KS Workshop II Agenda – Google Docs. Take a peek and let me know what you think?

Right now the course is offered to members and partners of FAO and the CGIAR. If you work in development and are interested but are not a member or partner of FAO, leave me a note. If we have openings close to the start of the workshop (first week of September) I’ll let you know.
