Improving Interpersonal Communication & Collaboration between Research Teams & Partners
Led by David Gurteen, Gurteen Knowledge
There are innumerous barriers to knowledge sharing - some of them myths - some of them very real but they can all be overcome, once they are understood and addressed. In addition, to work effectively together, people need to share common values and adopt inter-personal behaviors that help build trust and support knowledge sharing and collaboration.
This workshop will review and discuss the importance of knowledge sharing, communication & collaboration and look at some of the major barriers. David Gurteen will facilitate a knowledge cafe where the participants will identify additional barriers to 'knowledge sharing' and look at how to overcome them. He will then run a second cafe where the participants will think about the "personal behaviors" needed in an organization to ensure that knowledge is surfaced, shared effectively and made productive
