The document discusses creating a culture of collaborative learning and knowledge sharing to foster organizational innovation. It proposes connecting people with people and information through a 70-20-10 learning model involving on-the-job learning, learning from others, and formal learning. Collaboration is key and can take the form of teaming, partnering, supporting others, and raising awareness of others' work. Blended learning approaches involving synchronous and asynchronous methods are recommended. Tools for creative problem solving include brainstorming, the 5Ws and an H question framework, and assumption busting.

Network A space for staff to share information and knowledge about their capability. These may be local or global networks. Support A space for staff to access the corporate services provided by the organisation to support them in their work. Toolbox A space for reference material and various libraries that staff require to do their work.
Creating a Culture of Collaborative Learning to Foster Organisational Innovation Designing programs through user centred design and sense making Empowering people to collaborate to solve problems and innovate Fostering a blended learning approach through stimulating technical and social networks and offsetting the tyranny of distance through technology Successful strategies to effect change Learnings and advice for those embarking on such a journey Cory Banks, Parsons Brinckerhoff

Another aspect we need to consider is a question of complexity In d6 we use the Cynefin complexity model to talk about levels of complexity. The lowest level we deal with is called the Simple space. In simple space we talk about cause and effect is obvious. A + B will always equal C. The approach is to sense the situation, categorise the condition and deliver the required response by using best practice. In complicated space the relationship between cause and effect requires analysis or some other form of investigation through the use of expert knowledge. A + B will equal C but we need to take some time to work out what C is. This is the space of the consultant. The approach is to sense the situation, analyse the condition and arrive at an appropriate good practice. In complex space the relationship between cause and effect can only be perceived in retrospect, not in advance. A + B will equal C today, but may equal Z tomorrow. The approach is to run probes to discover the situation, sense what emerges from those probes and respond with more probes to step further towards discovering an emergent practice. In the chaotic space there is no relationship between cause and effect. We don’t even know what A or B is. The approach is to act first, then sense if it worked and discover how to move forward. Once you have identified where your problem sits, you can begin selecting the right approach to solving your problem.
