In closing – Reflections on KE
What the heck is knowledge exchange? - collaborative, relational, purposeful - getting right information to the right people in the right format at the right time Respect the clash of cultures…make time for effective dissemination…expand the strategic process “Go slow in order to go far and fast” Knowledge is Power Sharing is Power It is a social process. It is best done in partnership. Impact takes place at end user level.
