An area that is sometimes ignored
when looking at best practices is the identification of what is
already working in the organization. Knowledge capture and transfer,
as well as the ‘learning organization’ have become
part of our common business language. What can be difficult is
how to capture it in such a way that you can easily teach it to
others.
Our philosophy is that ‘the
answers are in the room.’ We approach each client with the
idea in mind that the experts are already in the organization.
We just need to find them and model what they are doing. An additional
benefit is that our clients are engaged in the process, creating
greater buy-in and support for adopting changes or new initiatives.
Some of our greatest success stories with clients have been
identifying pockets of excellence and replicating them throughout
the organization.
