Land & Water Australia Knowledge for Regional NRM Program
Phase 2 of the Knowledge for Regional NRM Program was delivered between July 2006 and June 2008. Products and services were successfully developed and implemented to address the people and culture issues and technological solutions needed to successfully manage information and knowledge in the natural resource management (NRM) sector.
Knowledge for Regional NRM Phase 2 implemented three packages of products and services:
- Package 1 – Better practice in knowledge management
- Package 2 – NRM Navigator
- Package 3 – Supporting knowledge brokering in the NRM sector
I was the team leader for “Package 1 – Better practice in knowledge management” which developed three successful products for the NRM sector:
- Information and Knowledge Resource Kit (IKRK)
- Information and Knowledge Strategy process
- Knowledge Leaders training program
The report Knowledge for Regional Natural Resource Management – Achievements and options presents the significant achievements of Phase 2 of the Knowledge for Regional NRM Program. The report also introduces options for maintaining and evolving the important products and services of the program into the future, and for maintaining momentum for the continued improvement of information and knowledge management in the NRM sector. I collated the report material and wrote the report.
Phase 2 of the Knowledge for Regional NRM Program won a Platinum Award in the actKM Forum 2008 Knowledge Management Awards. ‘Platinum’ is the highest award category and awards at this level are rarely made.
