Organizations with strong Knowledge Flow create:
1) a safe place to share ideas
2) intentional times to get together as a team
3) ground rules for actively sharing
information as well as listening to and
respecting each other

Best practice: Knowledge Flow Sessions1. The leader frames the discussion
– “Here’s what I’m thinking!”2. The leader grants permission for knowledge flow.
– “No one has a monopoly on good ideas so tell me what’s right, what’s wrong and what’s missing?”
3. Ground rules for discussion. – “We want actionable ideas not personal attacks.”
4. Follow up – “Affirm in writing the people who gave useful ideas.”
5. Appreciate the truth teller. – “Make heroes out of people who speak truth to power!”
