Seek ways to support staff in your organisation to share their knowledge. E.g. facilitate 'knowledge share' sessions for different business areas to share their expertise, or for projects to feedback to staff on key learnings. Another example may be to facilitate staff members to share learnings from conferences and seminars. GLS Member
