From Strategy to Practice
|
Strategic reversals are quite commonly failures of execution. In many cases, a strategy is abandoned
out of impatience or because of pressure for an instant payoff before it has had a chance to take root and yield results. Or its focal point is allowed to drift over
time. To navigate a strategy, one must maintain a balance
between strategizing and learning modes of thinking. (No. 60 | August 2009)

Enhancing Knowledge Management Strategies
|
Despite worldwide attention to strategic planning, the notion of strategic practice is surprisingly new.
To draw a strategy is relatively easy but to execute it is
difficult—strategy is both a macro and a micro phenomenon
that depends on synchronization. One should systematically
review, evaluate, prioritize, sequence, manage, redirect,
and if necessary even cancel strategic initiatives. (No. 58 | August 2009)

Learning Lessons with Knowledge Audits
|
Knowledge from evaluations will not be used effectively
if the specific organizational context, knowledge, and relationships of evaluation agencies, and the external
environment they face, are not dealt with in an integrated
and coherent manner. Knowledge management can shed light on this and related initiatives can catalyze and facilitate
identification, creation, storage, sharing, and use of lessons. (No. 51 | June 2009)

Building Institutional Capacity for Development
|
The conditions of economic and social progress include participation, democratic processes, and the location of necessarily diverse organizational setups at the community, national, regional, and increasingly global levels. Access to and judicious use of information underpin all these. (No. 47 | May 2009)

Building a Learning Organization
|
Learning is the key to success—some would even say survival—in today's organizations. Knowledge should be continuously enriched through both internal and external learning. For this to happen, it is necessary to support and energize organization, people, knowledge, and technology for learning. (No. 46 | May 2009)
