WMPMI - VIRTUAL / IN-PERSON LUNCHTIME MEETING - February 11, 2022
WMPMI's monthly lunchtime meeting is a one-PDU event on a topic from the PMI Talent Triangle.
- Be one of the first 5 people to arrive this month and receive a free copy of Dr. Anyacho's book, The Knowledge Café - a practical guide for optimizing conversational leadership, knowledge exchange, understanding, wisdom, crazy ideas, and co-creative innovation
The Knowledge Café:
Unleashing a Knowledge-Centric Project Environment
Is knowledge power? Knowledge is the most critical asset of an organization, but HOW powerful is a frozen and snow-covered explosive? Project knowledge is useless if it’s unapplied, pigeonholed, siloed, unshared, or unmanaged. Most revolution happens outside the home and office—at the café. Chance, serendipity, and INNOVATION transpire at the intercession of connected minds, at the Knowledge Café (Café), by the saucers—that’s where some of the most significant societal revolutions began—at the Café.
Knowledge Café is a powerful knowledge management technique/vehicle to bust silos, identify, and share critical knowledge and wisdom, rejuvenate, and create new knowledge. Café is the university of the future for all project knowledge workers. In this session, curiosities will be stirred, minds ignited, and you will walk away with ready-to-implement and actionable tools for a knowledge-centric project environment.
