OED's Learning Cycle

Knowledge management activities include reviewing, conceptualizing, reflecting, and acting. Treating knowledge as a resource opens up opportunities for learning across each time segment of the knowledge management cycle. Most often, the actions will be a combination of generic operations that involve developing, distributing, combining, and consolidating knowledge.

In the Operations Evaluation Department, the experience of practice is captured in evaluation studies. It is synthesized in knowledge products and services, often enriched by lessons from other sources through innovation. These are channeled as publications, presentations, press releases, and media resources, often via the internet, so that experience improves practice. The evaluation community of practice in OED animates these throughout the learning cycle of practice, experience, synthesis and innovation, dissemination, and uptake with one-time, near-term, and continuous efforts.
