Knowledge & Leadership
In 2007 the Basel Knowledge Café focused on *Knowledge & Leadership* whose results formed the basis for an article series being published in KM Review:
B. Hardy; Linking Trust, Change, Leadership & Innovation – Ingredients of a Knowledge Leadership Support Framework; KM Review, Nov/Dec 2007, Vol 10, Issue 5, pp 18-23.
B. Hardy; Collaboration, Culture, and Technology – Contributions to Confidence in Leadership Support; KM Review, Jan/Feb 2008, Vol 10, Issue 6, pp 18-23.
A short summary with photos is posted on the The Ferryman Blog at http://barryhardy.blogs.com/theferryman/2007/06/knowledge_and_l.html
The Café also contributed significantly to the formation of the KLeaders practice and interest group, which has since been working together on developing the ideas of the KLeaders Leadership Practice and Support Framework, and which is currently collaborating on research and network proposals. If you are interested in this research and innovation activity, please contact Dr. Barry Hardy (barry.hardy –(at)- douglasconnect.com, +41 61 851 0170) to discuss your needs or contributions.
