OPN CDs Knowledge Workshop

✓ It's about refining and sharpening targets. The process of determining the knowledge needs at each step can help to refine and sharpen targets based on the knowledge available in the network. ✓ Knowledge maps are critical to identify the knowledge we need and the knowledge we have. Until we have determined the actual knowledge that we need to achieve specific steps, and the actual knowledge our network is working on, it is difficult to effectively move forward. ✓ It's the process that matters. The actual target can be specific, general, large or small. What is more important is the actual process that the knowledge map encourages: Linking a target to specific knowledge needs. Otherwise the amount of potentially available knowledge is endless, and measurement becomes almost impossible. ✓ The maps help determine if we have identified the right knowledge. Reaching out to the network to check our map against the actual knowledge used in a similar, real-world process. When others who have worked towards a similar target see the knowledge map, would they have filled it out the same way? Are there aspects you have forgotten? ✓ A knowledge map can also highlight knowledge gaps, pinpointing the reason for bottlenecks in achieving a target. When these pain points are identified, it is easier to discuss the options for mitigation. ✓ Knowledge map can help to make broad targets more concrete and practical, by pinning them to the actual knowledge needs. ✓ The One Planet network can use these maps to have a more service-oriented approach. Looking at the knowledge needs identified on the map and developing a portfolio of services that the One Planet network can offer.
