I'm realizing I should harvest and summarize all the great links being shared on the KM4D list. Here is another one. Simone Staiger helped organize a Knowledge Sharing Week for CIAT, an agricultural research organization that is part of the CGIAR. What attracted me to the report from the event was the openness of sharing the feedback (positive and challenging). You could read the page they put together and have some concrete ideas for doing something similar in your organization. I wonder what a online version of this would be and what impact it would have for orgs that can't do some days together F2F.

Here is the brief of the week:

"From November 29 to December 4, CIAT held its first 'Knowledge Sharing Week.' Designed to improve communication, relationships, and collaboration within CIAT, KS week had 4 specific objectives:

* To enhance the integration of headquarters and regional staff and activities.
* To develop a shared understanding of the three Development Challenges and contribute to their effective operationalization.
* To promote effective work-planning on the part of project teams and collaborators."
