Quite a confusing landscape out there in public sector land with all these various initiatives to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing. Check out the announcement from Socitm about the enhancements to their Knowledge Exchange for a new knowledge sharing platform . A more biting commentary about the lack of any joined-up thinking around knowledge management strategy in the public sector is on Public Sector Forums, which slates the DCLG’s TALK>>> initiative. Then of course we have the IDeA, the esd-toolkit ,the outputs from the National Knowledge Project and the Improvement Network and you start to get a sense of the lack of any cohesion across all these initiatives. Must be an opportunity here for someone….but who’s brave enough or stupid enough to take this on??
I’m a life-long learner with an insatiable curiosity about life. I love travel, good food, and good company. I’m happy to share what I know with others….even the interesting stuff! My outlook on life is pretty well captured in this quote from a book about the legend of King Arthur:
“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King
So much to learn, so little time!
