everything that everybody knows, but to keep
track of people who know the recipe, and
nurture the technology and culture that will get
them talking

What Do We Want out of This?
The challenge is to organize this knowledge so
you do not find too much information at the same
time. You get just enough information where and
when you need it. You make sure you get updated
and fresh information from people who have the
experience

• At the end of the workshop, delegates should
  have built the following knowledge assets
• A list of 3 Best Practices for each topic (based
  on case studies, presentations and knowledge
  shared during exercises)
• A synthesis of useful advice based on experience
  from other practitioners
• Updated e-resources and contact persons

• Finally delegates should be able to take home a
  Personal Action Plan that helps you design and
  implement best practices back home
