" A freely accessible online KM Toolkit with tools to cover the following techniques: After Action Reviews, Peer Assists, Knowledge Exit Interviews, Conducting a Knowledge Audit, Storytelling amd much more."
Join the CGIAR, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the KM4Dev Community , the United Nations Children's Fund and the United Nations Development Programme in creating and growing this resource of knowledge sharing tools and methods. While these are applicable in a wide range of contexts, we hope that together we can help frame them in the context of international development with a focus on agriculture, fisheries, food and nutrition, forestry and sustainable development.
This technique is a way of gathering lessons learnt by encouraging project teams to talk about their experiences through stories. It builds and makes full use of this natural way in which we learn from each other and gain understanding about everyday life situations through storytelling
The After Action Review (AAR) is a simple tool pioneered by the US army which is now widely used in organisations to capture lessons learned. It is a structured review after an activity or stage in a project, including handover or close, that analyses what happened, why it happened, and how it can be done better. The key to successful AAR's is that it helps you turn mistakes and poor performance into learning opportunities.
The baton passing technique is a fast method for sharing, identifying high-impact lessons and gaining personal commitment to action. Baton passing can either be 'fast' - when based on clear lesson-themes - or 'slow' and more detailed when connected to a specific business process involving complex issues.
