Knowledge Sharing Workshop

This highly participative 4-hour workshop helps and guides teams to capture  succinctly the skills of one key team member. As a team, the participants share experience, map a unique 'knowledge footprint' and record important aspects of the planned handover of essential tasks. It is a workshop which celebrates the achievements of a colleague as they are about to move to another job, role or retire.

The workshop's professionally facilitated process helps to summarise and celebrate a career or role. The process enables knowledge transfer through the highly stimulating 'Future Backwards' exercise and helps everyone plan the next steps together.

This workshop is complimented by and employs many techniques used in our Storytelling for Engineers workshop, if you are interested in a combination workshop please get in touch. 

What benefits does this workshop deliver?

• Capture the key person's unique history and stories in a way that helps everyone participate and record their own impressions
• Transfer knowledge from the person leaving to their team in a story form that is easy to store and recall. By telling the story of their experiences at work the leaver creates a record of their knowledge which can then be shared, and tasks allocated to their team and successors
• Improve the Knowledge Management capability of your organisation
• Create a Map of the timeline, stories and footprints and log the recommended actions at personal, team and organisational levels

How does it work?

This workshop has been researched, developed and designed to create a memorable and enjoyable experience that invokes enthusiastic participation. It follows a structured process with clear results, while still feeling relaxed and spontaneous. 

A Pre Workshop Call is conducted at least a week before the workshop to assists the live building of Timeline and Footprint maps, and helps the leader take part in the process more confidently.

Participatory Narrative Inquiry structure 

All the participants, engage with the leaver in order to reveal the knowledge that they have accumulated, which is communicated in the form of anecdotes and stories. ‘Inquiry’ refers to the way in which the participants then make sense and meaning of the stories, select important knowledge and are able to uncover further useful knowledge, following the steps:

• PROBE – to make any hidden knowledge visible to the group
• SENSE – to enable assessment of the importance of this knowledge
• RESPOND – to select future actions 

Who should book?

• Anyone taking over responsibility for a work area
• Peers who can add and question the events as they are remembered and shared
• More recent staff who can ask questions from a different viewpoint, do all the scribing and learn in the process
