Effective collaboration around knowledge management and organizational learning is a key contributor to improving the impact of international development work for the world’s most vulnerable people. But how can it be proven?
With only 10 years from the target date for the Sustainable Development Goals, nine of the world’s most influential agencies set out to show to the connection between the use of evidence, knowledge and learning and a better quality of human life.

But how can it be proven?
With only 10 years from the target date for the Sustainable Development Goals, nine of the world’s most influential agencies set out to show to the connection between the use of evidence, knowledge and learning and a better quality of human life. This book – a synthesis of stories, examples and insights that demonstrate where and how these practices have made a positive impact on development programming – is the result of the Multi-Donor Learning Partnership (MDLP), a collective effort to record the ways each of these organizations have leveraged intentional, systematic and resourced approaches to knowledge management and organizational learning in their work.Other authorsSee publication -
The KM Cookbook
Facet Publishing
“Chris Collison, Paul Corney, and Patricia Eng have written a practical and easy-to-understand guide to knowledge management. The KM Cookbook combines a helpful explanation of ISO 30401 – the first international KM standard – with methods, tools, and stories to support successfully implementing KM. It uses the clever metaphor of a restaurant to describe the KM standard, tools, and stakeholders. The KM Chef’s Canvas is included as a useful tool to assess KM programmes applying the new…

No More Consultants. We know more than we think.
Wiley
“The best book by far on Knowledge Management is ‘Learning to Fly’ by Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell. This new book is of equal calibre.
The authors are not theorists and this book is not only practical but is written in clear, simple language.
We have been taught to look to "experts" for help and advice. And although we often do need guidance, we know more than we think. Given the complexity of our twenty-first century organizations it is dangerous to rely on external consultants who…“The best book by far on Knowledge Management is ‘Learning to Fly’ by Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell.

We have been taught to look to "experts" for help and advice. And although we often do need guidance, we know more than we think. Given the complexity of our twenty-first century organizations it is dangerous to rely on external consultants who can never fully understand the richness of the context in which we work.
In this book, Chris and Geoff provide tools and techniques that allow us to tap into our innate capabilities and to do away with rather than automatically relying upon external consultants!”
David Gurteen, Founder and Director, Gurteen Knowledge Community
“The saying goes that consultants borrow your watch to tell you the time. This book is all about borrowing the consultant’s watch. Practical, and rich with examples, it is about learning from and sharing good practices inside the organisation, and only looking outside for consultancy help where you really need it.”
Graham O’Connell, Head of Organisational Learning & Standards, National School of Government.
“When facing a challenge, organizations need to know what capabilities they have, but it is not always easy to have honest conversations about who knows what. Here is a book that shows step by step how to help groups articulate what being good at something looks like—and then use this information to self-assess and get better. The authors have both a simple method and the wisdom of experience to make it come alive on complex issues. The result is an invaluable resource.”
Etienne Wenger, author of “Communities of Practice”
