It is important to have such regular sessions. It’s better to do it regularly and briefly, than to do half day workshops every 6 months.] Last year we did some research about Knowledge sharing in the US. We visit a Knowledge based Consultant, engineering, and project management company. We observed how the did knowledge sharing and we did some interviews with associates. They had an Big brown bag meeting (also at lunchtime) they were very positive about this and did the meeting on regularly bases (normally every Friday). The have also a (regularly)Tail truck meeting (never heard before till then) the meet and share experiences around the back of a Truck/Pick up, of course on site (engineering project). So agree that you must do informally but regularly sessions! Quote: [During lunchtime on Fridays an employee presents to the other employees to share knowledge and we let creative juices flow.
