There are still some places available on the "Exploiting Knowledge in Networks" training event next week, Tuesday 4th October.
The training focuses on use of Social Media tools to support Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and self development. The following is brief synopsis of the training and what will be covered:
Introduction:
There is a desire to develop more effective knowledge sharing and a culture of collaboration in most organisations, but little recognition of what this means in terms of staff development and overcoming barriers to change. The enormous growth of social media tools and social/professional networks over the past few years has created new opportunities and new challenges for people and organisations who want to embrace this dynamic world of social interaction and fluid knowledge flows. However, It is not widely recognised that collaboration and knowledge sharing are skills and practices that rarely get taught. It's something we may learn on the job in a hit or miss fashion. Some people are natural at it. Others struggle to understand it.
This one day course provides a practical and detailed introduction to social media and social/professional networks that will enable delegates to have a greater understanding of their context for use and deployment within their organisation and for personal and professional development.Outcomes:
- An understanding of social media tools and social networks, and their context for engagement and knowledge sharing
- An understanding of on-line privacy, reputational risk, and the dichotomy of personal and professional identities
- An understanding of the barriers to knowledge sharing and collaboration and how these can be overcome
- An understanding of the principles for creating a personalised social media toolkit to support on-going learning and collaboration
Programme:
- Overview of the social web
- Risks and rewards in the use of social media
