New Research Helps Public Service Organisations
Latest press releasesThe need for improved knowledge transfer between public service organisations is the focus of research commissioned by RENEW Northwest and carried out by Warwick University's Business School.
'Knowledge Transfer: Sharing Learning in Public Service Organisations' is the latest Intelligence Report from regeneration best-practice specialist RENEW Northwest.
The report is being made public as part of a RENEW Northwest workshop during the Northwest Research Conference on Tuesday 22nd April 2008.
Tony Baldwinson from RENEW Northwest is hosting the workshop entitled, 'Supporting Sustainable Communities: the knowledge needed for effective regeneration programmes.' During this session, which looks at successful regeneration and the way in which the skills of leaders and practitioners impact upon it, Tony will present the key findings from the new Intelligence Report. Copies of the report are also being provided in delegate packs.
Tony's is just one of a number of sessions at the Northwest Research Conference, which communicates the findings of recent projects funded by the Northwest Regional Development Research Fund and provides guidance on regional and local data produced by the Office of National Statistics. The conference is taking place at the Manchester Conference Centre.
The report outlines a knowledge transfer framework for public service organisations to adopt and includes advice on how organisations can adapt the lessons learned by peers and competitors to meet their own specific needs.
Tony Baldwinson says of the report, "We know that knowledge transfer between public service organisations of differing size and purpose can be very complex. We commissioned this report from Warwick Business School so we could find a way to ease this process. The report argues that organisations need the flexibility to adapt, rather than merely adopt, others' good practice - and we're presenting a model that can help people to do this."
Tony continues: "The other clear message from the research findings is that face-to-face learning is much more effective at embedding good practice than just reading a report, and here at RENEW Northwest we are championing this model through our own learning programmes."
The report was commissioned by RENEW Northwest and researched jointly by Professor Jean Hartley and Lyndsay Rashman, at the Institute of Governance and Public Management, Warwick Business School.
