"Since 2006, I have had the fortune to work with Helen on many different projects in and around areas on knowledge management. Helen has run many successful workshops and World Cafes for us, as well she has chaired on of the largest events in the Asia-Pacific on knowledge management - Knowledge Management Australia. She able to use and teach culture and change in pushing forward KM principles and applications effectively." Steven Oesterreich, Managing Director "During recent Global Knowledge Management Congress & Awards, in Mumbai, I had a very productive interaction with Helen. I liked her value added presentation on ’KM: Improving and Sustaining Quality – Some opportunities and challenges of implementing ISO 9001:2015'. It was a simple but very content rich presentation. And I learned a lot about ISO aspect of KM. I wish her all the best!" Rajal Chattopadhyay, Vice President & Global Head - Global Portfolio & Knowledge Management "Thank you Helen. Your session has given lot of insights into ISO standard and I personally feel with the inclusion of KM in ISO standard will have renewed focus on KM. I am marking this mail to my colleague Archana and request her to continue the collaboration with you and understand more on Futuristic KM trends.. Looking forward to meet you again either in India or any other KM event in Australia" Hari "I have attended your speech on “KM Improving and Sustaining Quality – Some Opportunities and Challenges of ISO 9001:2015” at Taj Lands Mumbai. It was great to know that knowledge management is part of ISO 9001”2015. Your speech was great, highly appreciated" Indresh Gangwar, Manager – Knowledge Management |

"However you will be pleased to know that Knowledge Cafes are all the rage during our workshops in the Philippines. If you remember when we first did one here with Bob Wilson it was relatively new to them, but now it seems like it is just part of the process. The local facilitators seem to love them because of the level of small group engagement." "Coffey International Development, in association with the Canadian Urban Institute, engaged Dr Helen Paige to prepare and facilitate a Knowledge Cafe workshop in Manila to address two critical areas for our AusAID program - how donor organisations can improve coordination to maximise use of limited resources; and how to develop partnership approaches to ensure interventions deliver maximum benefit. The objective was to generate as many ideas as possible by exposing participants to meaningful discussions at all levels through a series of targeted questions. The main problem in the past has been that key experts in this area have become saturated in their thinking by continuous workshops and conferences and hence a new, more stimulating approach was needed. Dr Paige designed a workshop and series of questions that took advantage of the culture of the participants to socialise and talk, while providing the stimuli to ensure they stayed alert during proceedings and contributed new and exciting ideas in the process. Following the workshop, Dr Paige worked with the team to synthesise the results and distribute a summary of ideas to all participants within 24 hours. Participants commented on this positive and uplifting approach and all felt like they made a valued contribution to something worthwhile. For Coffey it enabled the company to extract many more ideas within a shorter time period than conventional workshop approaches, and it has now been developed and used in other regions and activities." "As you know, this was out first attempt to come to grips with the "active harvesting of knowledge" from an ODA project as it entered its final stages of activity. I hope you find the resources developed as an outcome of this activity of interest. I have just returned from PNG where we rolled out a country-wide KM strategy involving all our AusAID funded projects. Again the KM Cafe methodology was fully discussed and applied as a useful tool for the effective management of "lessons learnt" during the project life cycle. Once again, our sincere thanks for your contributions to our ongoing work in this area." |

"I want to thank you again for the time and effort you put in. I really appreciated your attention to timekeeping - it made the event run much more smoothly." "The K-Cafe was certainly one of the highlights as it was an ideal way to ‘wrap up’proceedings on day one, and a great opportunity for delegates to meet and speak with each other before the second day of presentations. Thanks again for all your hard work and we hope to work with you again very soon." |
