Co-creation process

Through an open call, anyone can sign-up as Topic group members, Mentors or Reviewers – so everyone gets an active role – everyone has a voice
At an initial Orientation Meeting we will confirm everyone's choices on how to contribute and also the way we will talk together, walk together and work together
Topic areas are chosen and each assigned a Topic Lead
Each Topic Lead works with their own topic groups and can choose to be assigned a Mentor
Topic Group members reach out to their respective CoPs directly to better explore and represent the areas chosen.
Each CoP can be set data collection / retrieval “challenges” through each Topic Group lead
In an open Review, at the end of the activity, everyone will have the opportunity to comment.

The process

We will start the process of co-creation in an open meeting. At this meeting we will reconfirm participants expectations, and how these are met with the co-creation activity.

The first focus would be on identifying the topic areas - giving the core structure of the activity and the Topic Groups. For this we will use existing resources (maps, tables, chart, lists).

For this list of terms, each Topic Lead will create a glossary related to the topic area - what it embraces and the varied language used in theory and in practice.

The topic leads then will identify existing resources that support each of these areas. All resources and perspective or approaches are included and related to the respective topic area.

The outcomes

The co-creation outcome would include the following

an active on-going dialogue towards and from KM Communities of Practice
a regular update of activity and achievements
a set of terms and their scope + meaning
iterations of and a final map of the KM Landscape
a list of KM4Free / KM pro bono resources
publication and presentation to the KM community
