For those who learn by listening to presentations or recordings, the dominance of the printed word is a barrier to good decision-making and action. Yet when one looks at the majority of knowledge exchange materials available, paper and text remain the focus of most efforts. Podcasting may help address this barrier. For more information contact Peter at: pnlevesque@gmail.com  or by phone at (613) 552-2725 https://knowledgeexchange.podomatic.com/entry/2013-03-07T12_06_09-08_00 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/knowledgeexchange/episodes/2013-03-07T12_06_09-08_00 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:06:09 +0000 2013-12-11 2013-12-11 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/knowledgeexchange/episodes/2013-03-07T12_06_09-08_00 Peter Levesque #kmb,#mdesc,#kmb1,#bonniezink,#peterlevesque,#mobilizers 1256 false Bonnie Zink http://bonniezink.com/ @bonniezink In her words: As a corporate writer, I produce a wide range of materials for individuals and organizations in the academic, public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

While he is understated, he has been a central figure in creating a more sharing and collaborative environment for those trying to work across silos and institutional barriers. Now at the Canada School of the Public Service, he shares his views about the need to re-engineer leadership, of the need for longer-term vision, of co-creating the workplaces that serve the citizens of Canada. He believes that the principal purpose of the Government of Canada is to serve Canadians. I was impressed by the results obtained from using communities of practice. I was also somewhat disheartened by the fact that change may not happen until the issues are urgent and pressing. I appreciated Paul’s wisdom and openness and I hope you do also.

She explores very difficult issues like infanticide and improper use of power, such as happened with the Ontario Coroner’s fabrication of evidence. She takes her role as a disseminator of knowledge and teacher very seriously, yet she feels that more could be done to support knowledge mobilization. This interview was conduced both in Ottawa and over the phone from Toronto. (Her infant daughter – Evie – was with Kirsten and she decided that her mother should pay more attention to her.) Canada has great infrastructure to produce research information but more can be done to support exchanges between sectors – perhaps via the use of knowledge brokers, perhaps through changes in culture, perhaps through teaching students to be better knowledge consumers. Enjoy this fascinating conversation of one academic’s journey to make her work more available for decision-making. Welcome to episode nineteen of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast.

There is plenty that can be learned from sharing ideas across sectors and disciplines.

His work at the Canadian Council on Learning has been breaking new ground and creating the conditions that enable individuals and groups to come together to build new value and understanding of complex and emerging issues. Although Daryl now lives in Vancouver, this interview took place in Ottawa – a city that he feels very much at home in. His focus of bringing people together for mutual benefit has created numerous long-term productive relationships that have benefited communities, institutions, and government agencies across areas of interest. The idea that knowledge exchange involves a “chemical reaction” is an important one – it’s not just putting all the ingredients together and hoping something happens; they have to come together in the right way, with the right conditions. I think there are some tasty ideas here – enjoy. Welcome to episode seventeen of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast.

Not fitting easily into any one discipline or structure, he spans the boundaries between several worlds and shares lessons between each – perhaps an archetype of the knowledge broker that is emerging as a defined role in many organizations. The conversation we had in Ottawa was profound and humorous, focused and expansive; much like Ray’s approach to his work. I think you will appreciate his grounded examples and his ability to link difficult concepts to stories. Human history is grounded in storytelling, so is knowledge exchange.

While the topic of the environment is much discussed by many, if not most, Canadians, Beth has spent the last 25 years actually doing something about these issues. The examples she gives of projects from the University of Toronto, are now having wider effects on other institutions, and more importantly on the generation of students currently going through a transformative period in their lives. One lesson I pulled from our conversation, is that knowledge exchange happens in many forms; most powerfully however, in face-to-face learning that is also supported by web-accessible information and institutional enablers. I was inspired and hopeful after this interview. I hope that you are too. Welcome to episode fifteen of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast.

His use of research evidence to support the development and implementation of practices and policies is a great example of how evidence supports political changes and community improvements. The use of multiple modes of communication and the need for people to carry messages through oral channels is a reminder that, even with the growing trend towards technology, people still look to each other for knowledge and leadership. Although there is lots of background noise in the restaurant where we met, I think there is a strong signal coming from Khan; let’s be transparent, clear, blunt about the issues we are dealing with and then let’s work together to implement solutions.

Eimear is a psychotherapist, thinker and mobilizer, who is busy helping to create a culture and context that supports transformative life-long learning that leads to a “One World Community”. Her perspectives and energy are quite amazing; you come to see that indeed all things are connected but you then ask yourself, how then do we keep creating differences and divisions? I appreciated her comment that leadership is for the task and from the middle. I agree that we are never totally free; but rather that we are bound to each other and responsible for the well-being of all. I share her hopefulness of the growing connectedness assisted by technology. Perhaps this shall enable us to be more collaborative and creative as we learn – together. Enjoy.

Her thoughts about bringing various forms of knowledge together and the challenges this entails, the results that can be derived by mandating the inclusion of alternative perspectives, the limits of what one individual can bring to and represent in a complex learning environment, and how the way we are with people in using evidence has as much impact if not more than the methods we use to create evidence, were all very important and powerful comments. However, I was most struck by the wonderful example of life-long learning she gives near the end of our conversation. I hope it touches you as much as it touched me.

He is credited with coining the term “participatory action research” and has been a leader in adult learning – in life-long learning for more years than he cares to admit. This conversation took place in his home in Victoria. Victoria is engaged in some very exciting experiments that are changing the way our institutions work with each other and benefit from active knowledge exchange. I really like the concept of expanding the interaction of “knowledges” and of building evidence for action from many sources. I also like his hopefulness and enthusiasm.

I was inspired by his knowledge mobilization focus which is on outcomes rather than activities. He insists that social change will come through action – that sometimes the best solution is the one that is implemented rather than the potentially better one that is forever discussed. He argues for social entrepreneurship and for a culture that permits failure because it encourages risk. The concepts of mass customization, networks of outcome, and the measurement of outcomes, are all important to supporting decision making in our increasingly diverse society.

Her discussion of the role of champions in creating an office to support evidence use is an important lesson for others trying to do similar work. She talks about creating learning opportunities in the workplace, including the effective use of existing infrastructure, such as libraries, to support emerging initiatives. The discussion about leadership and commitment, risk and innovation, and the challenges within large organizations all struck a cord with me.

Dr. Abrami’s insights into knowledge exchange are very important to learning how to learn from each other – mutual dialogue, ongoing exchange, and the willingness to change and adapt. His emphasis on doing with rather than doing to, I think is the key to moving knowledge exchange forward. I was struck by the intelligence of his comments on sustainability and scalability – two of my personal areas of inquiry. The questions he raises about bridging communities, making the right investments, and the changes needed in scholarship to include the mobilization of findings are inspiring and daunting at the same time. This conversation went on for almost twice as long as I include here – the hardest part was choosing what to edit out. Please pardon the construction noise in the background; it is however an appropriate metaphor for what is going on in knowledge exchange right now.

Dr. Levin has spent his career at the intersection of evidence and decision making. He is exceptionally well placed to comment on knowledge exchange and mobilization. His comments on the differences between the political and policy aspects of government are very helpful for those trying to influence the decisions made by our governments. He identifies some leading policy entrepreneurs but calls for more infrastructures to support knowledge exchange and mobilization. Dr. Levin suggests that there are many good initiatives happening however we need more evidence on what works well and when. I always learn so much from my conversations with Ben, it is my hope that you do too. Welcome to episode four of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast.

The conversation that you're about to hear took place in Toronto on Monday, April 23rd, 2007 at the home of Cathy Vine, Executive Director of Voices for Children. Cathy and her team are thinking differently and working hard to turn knowledge into action. She describes the process as change facilitation, one that involves children and youth directly in the decision-making process, and creates open systems that support learning. She challenges us to create a true learning culture and to question our assumptions about knowledge and leadership. Her examples of how to engage in a shared search for answers, collective action taking, and the difficulty of translation, with the eventual and obvious need for relationships and trust does not only apply to work with children and youth but to all organizations. It was a privilege to talk to Cathy and I hope you learn as much as I did. Welcome to episode three of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast.

The conversation that you're about to hear, took place in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 at the Hampton Inn with Sean Muir, Executive Director of the Healthy Aboriginal Network based in Vancouver. As you can tell from the background noise there was a lot going on in the quiet corner that we found. Although I tried to clean up some of this during the editing process, trucks and buses are just part of our urban landscapes. The first time that I met Sean, I was impressed with his passion and considered perspective in dealing with difficult issues. I was very impressed with the results he was obtaining with a simple product, a comic book on suicide prevention. This knowledge exchange tool is an example of how innovation doesn't always come with all the bells and whistles but sometimes in using a tool that we know well in a different way. In this podcast you will hear Sean talk about youth engagement, using storytelling, that the content can be serious even if the format doesn't look serious. Sean will talk about the challenges of evaluating innovation and new uses for things that we think we know well. Sean shares his challenges of working across silos, of making sure that aboriginal voices are included in everything that they do, and through all of this I can hear his hopefulness that others will begin to look at the old problems in new ways and that we will come to solutions together. It was a privilege to talk to Sean and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did. If you have comments or questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

The conversation that you're about to hear, took place in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007 in the office of Irving Gold, the Vice President of External Affairs, for the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada. Irving has been a leader for knowledge exchange in the healthcare world. He is consistently identified as someone who has influenced the thinking of literally thousands of people about the value of supporting knowledge exchange to improve how we do what we do in health care. I think there are lessons here for lifelong learning, for education, for the environmental field, and for a whole series of sectors in Canada trying to improve what they do. Our conversation lasted over an hour and I've edited it down to what I think are the most interesting parts. I hope you agree. Some highlights to look for include a discussion about the fundamentals of leadership in knowledge exchange, the concepts of vision, risk-taking, and sharing. There are some examples of leading organizations. We discuss the concepts of innovation, culture change within organizations, bridging communities, and bring some personal examples of lifelong learning. Irving brings us his insight on questions of evidence, on decision-making, on the political process, on the value and limits of research, on how to build relationships, on questions of power, on the future of knowledge exchange and of opportunities for growth. I enjoyed this conversation very much and hope that you do also. If you have comments or questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Welcome to Episode 1 of the Knowledge Exchange podcast.
