Topics / CAF - Common Assessment Framework A common European quality management instrument for the public sector developed by the public sector. The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a result of the co-operation among the EU Ministers responsible for Public Administration. A pilot version was presented in May 2000 and revised versions were launched in 2002, 2006 and 2013. A CAF Resource Centre (CAF RC) was created at the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) in Maastricht following the decision of the Directors General in charge of public service. It works in close cooperation with the network of CAF national correspondents. The CAF is an easy-to-use, free tool to assist public-sector organisations across Europe in using quality management techniques to improve their performance. The model is based on the premise that excellent results in organisational performance, citizens/customers, people and society are achieved through leadership driving strategy and planning, people, partnerships, resources and processes.
A model for knowledge management strategy | Knowledge Bird There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. All individual and organisational knowledge falls somewhere on a spectrum. You can read more at the Wikipedia link about how the tool works in a personal development setting, but it’s also been built on as a workshopping tool for uncovering corporate and project risks. It struck me that the Johari Window is a solid basis for a map to guide leaders on selecting knowledge management practices to contribute to an wholistic knowledge sharing strategy. Leverage – the Leverage quadrant represents our known-knowns. Growth – the Growth quadrant are our known-unknowns. Reveal – the Reveal quadrant relates to the unknown-knowns. Discover – the Discover quadrant is where we can work to mitigate risk within our organisation.
The End of Austerity in Europe? French presidential candidates Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy A few months ago, when Occupy movements bloomed across Europe, the absence of any similar uprising in France appeared to be an anomaly in a country infamous for its people’s propensity to take the streets. One explanation was that the presidential election was just around the corner, and that after 10 years out of government, the Left was capable of channeling the French people’s indignation into electoral gains. Indeed, the election’s big surprise was the spectacular surge of Jean-Luc Melenchon’s Front de Gauche (Leftist Front), a coalition of parties to the left of the traditional social-democratic PS (Socialist Party). With an Occupy-friendly platform, the Front went from virtual non-existence to a double-digit finish in the election’s first round, gathering crowds beyond President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wildest dreams throughout the campaign. The Front de Gauche did not, however, make it to the second round.

Les outils du Knowledge Management | KomMunication & Cie Avec l’apparition des Techniques d’Information et de Communication, les entreprises ont du s’adapter : de nouveaux outils sont venus se greffés à l’activité de celles-ci. Il ne faut cependant pas se focaliser uniquement sur les techniques matérielles mais aussi se soucier des « outils humains » mis en œuvre pour organiser la structure de l’entreprise et aménager des relations entre les différents acteurs d’une même société. Le modèle KWC (Knowledge Workers Community) est, selon Prax, « une représentation générique des modalités de collaboration de partage d’information et de connaissance ». Ce modèle, créé par Prax lui-même a pour but de donner une feuille de route, une base aux entreprises pour qu’émergent des groupes qui se comprennent et dont les membres sont en interaction de manière constructive pour le bon fonctionnement de la communauté. Le Knowledge Management est un cycle permanent, avec de la création de connaissance. Il existe quatre périodes dans la vie d’une communauté : 1.
UNICEF Knowledge Exchange Toolbox | Learning and Knowledge Exchange | UNICEF The UNICEF Knowledge Exchange Toolbox was created to help UNICEF staff and partners to plan and implement successful knowledge sharing events. A successful event is one that creates or shares significant practical knowledge – knowledge that is relevant for achieving results. This may be academic or technical, or it may be ‘know-how’, based on experiences of how to achieve results in a particular context, or how to address specific challenges. This Toolbox is for anyone who needs to make effective decisions, facilitate or guide effective decision-making processes, or manage or coordinate group work in development that requires the knowledge of multiple persons to succeed. Some of the audience may be full-time specialists in knowledge exchange/ knowledge management, while others may be managers and team leaders who need effective solutions to challenging problems.
