Let’s Break some Knowledge Silos: How to Transform an Organization by Leveraging Learning & Knowledge Tools

The session will explore the role of leadership in leveraging knowledge and learning tools to introduce or sustain organizational change.  Taking  the experience of the World Bank – where knowledge management and communities of practice have been used to mobilize radically new ways of working and innovating – as a conversation starter, facilitator and author, Dr. Monika Weber-Fahr will engage with and interview her guests.   Together they will explore and debate the both the practical and the conceptual side of opportunities and hurdles emerging when an organization takes the knowledge domain as the entry-point to introduce, sustain or complete a change process.
