KM Forum: Geoff Parcell, author of Learning to Fly - 30 March
Special March 30 Event - Geoff Parcell, author of Learning to Fly
"WHAT: Geoff plan's to share experience of applying an approach to knowledge sharing based on recognising peoples strengths and building on those by knowledge based benchmarking. He'll use as examples Operations Excellence in BP, and response to AIDS in the development sector, to demonstrate the wide applicability and will be discussing the techniques in Learning to Fly.
WHO: Geoff has written a practical book on Knowledge Management with Chris Collison. It's called "Learning to Fly" and documents their experiences of applying a knowledge management approach within BP, an award winning KM company for the last seven years. They have recently published the second edition which includes new stories from other organisations, refreshes the knowledge on networks and communities of practice, and includes a new chapter on the self assessment process - knowledge based benchmarking if you like.
Geoff has had an exciting and varied career in BP which started by spending time on oil rigs in the North Sea, moving on to look for oil fields in Australia, Brazil, China and Vietnam and migrating to a change management role when he realised that things happen (or don't happen!) through the interaction between people. That led naturally to a role in BP's knowledge management team, helping create an
environment where good practices and lessons learned were shared across the globe. As a Senior Advisor for Knowledge Management he guided BP's knowledge management activities especially in the area of networking, peer assists and capturing knowledge to be reused by others elsewhere. He explored Organisational Capability, that is making the company more than the sum of the individual competencies,
encouraging dialogue across organisational and functional boundaries,
and developing processes to improve and sustain the capability of BP."
WHEN: 4.30 for 5pm Thursday 30th March
WHERE: Standards Australia, 286 Sussex Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
