After being a tourist for a couple of hours in Sydney, I headed to an evening conversation on collaboration with about 14 members of the NSW Knowledge Management Roundtable.

“The KMRT in New South Wales is a Knowledge Network that provides members with the opportunity to gain value by collaborating with many of Australia’s top companies to identify and develop key areas of Strategic or Competitive Advantage through the optimal use of Knowledge.“

I was going to start with a brief overview of Working with People You Can’t Be With, but wanted to hear where everyone was at first. We had a very enjoyable 90 minute discussion about document management, culture change, values-based organizations, getting buy-in for change, collaboration, and much more.

We concluded with my brief overview slide deck:

“Brief introduction to Working With Be You Can’t Be With. When you can’t see or hear them, you need to create cognitive links, eg, a shared vision, a common work practice.“

Thanks to Marie for organizing a great evening, and for everyone who attended and shared their experiences.
