The Global Knowledge shops (GK Shops) aim at facilitating the gathering of special interest groups, either virtually through the Internet and the video conferencing technology or physically through face to face roundtable workshops. Special interest groups will be meeting on-line through GDLC's discussion forum in order to improve communication and have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas among each other.
In addition to online discussions, video conferencing sessions are to be held for each group with experts of the discussed topic. The Link of Egyptian Executives and Professionals to International Experts through video conferencing, facilitates exchanging Knowledge as well as tackling new approaches and trends of business. This mode allows for the productive communication among participants across geographic barriers.
The transfer of knowledge through discussion and sharing of Knowledge issues through a series of shops aims at empowering leaders of the new knowledge-based economy.
Participants and experts in the GK shop are invited to make a presentation illustrating lessons learnt, including what was effective and what wasn't in promoting knowledge for development to address the challenges and opportunities of empowerment and governance.
Topics Open to Discussion:
- Building Knowledge societies.
- Knowledge and Innovation for sustainable development
- Value of Life-long learning
- Building learning organizations
- Intellectual Capital & intangible assets
The GK Shop will also allow for the practice of new technologies, tools and strategies that utilize knowledge and information in addressing knowledge challenges. The shop, in such case, will be enhancing knowledge through hands-on practice as well as discussions. It will be providing an opportunity for executives as well as organizations from the public, private and non-governmental sectors to highlight interesting and innovative ways of using new tools for assessment and analysis.
Such tools are practiced at the hybrid e-learning model of GDLC through online discussions, video conferencing and hands on practice sessions.
The software tools are available from various knowledge partners as follows:
- Decision Architecture:
This tool captures the reasoning and thought processes as well as serving as a knowledge safe, this allows project information to be shared. The tool converts documented methodologies to multi-dimensional interactive knowledge repositories and informational gateways. It is valuable for enhancing collective knowledge and experience, and develops "best practices" approaches.
- Situation Analysis:
The Situation Analysis tool shows the exact nature of an issue and identifies the factors and causes that are behind this issue. It is of significant value for specifying which of the factors should be addressed first, and which are less important.
- Option Development:
The Option Development tool provides an enhanced capability of identifying and developing strategies and scenarios. With Option Development, organizations can:
- Determine which strategies and scenarios are useful as well as the reasons of its usefulness
- Determine the core of a selected strategy or scenario
- Identify other strategies for further evaluation that can be used.
-
Option Evaluation:
is a tool that evaluates options using weighted criteria, such as time periods. It aligns strategies to corporate objectives so as to provide a consistent framework for evaluating alternatives. The tool uses overall rankings on comparisons against qualitative and quantitative metrics.
-
Risk Assessment:
This tool assesses the risks of implementing a decision. It traces possible paths to outcomes so as to help identify the potential pitfalls while implementation and it mitigates each through action planning. The tool is identifies implementation risks and develops risk control strategies.
Goal Assessment:
This tool primarily assesses the goals in different perspectives, including short and long term ones. Practitioners specify and prioritize individual or collective preferences and goals. Then the tool provides a perspective on the specified goals and measures the progress of fulfilling the goal being achieved.
-
Conceptual Overview:
This tool displays complex multi-dimensional relationships in a 3D. It assess the relationships among items and determines the resulting alliances and tensions.
-
Data Trends:
The Data Trend tool captures and processes large amounts of data in multiple dimensions over time. It produces an animated model that allows users to compare trends, patterns and anomalies.
-
Data Landscape:
The data landscape tool is a way to track the development of any situation over time, such as threats or economic forecasts. The tool identifies key moments of developing the factors that have a significant impact on the situation. An organization can use this tool to identify competitive threats, and the impact of an economic downturn on business.
- Assessment of Knowledge Innovation software:
this software is targeting to assess the innovation process in corporate environments. Researches and case studies have been converted to a framework for the innovation dialogue. This assessment technique analyzes an organization's ability to create new ideas, and translates those ideas into products and services that can be moved to marketplace.
The Assessment of Knowledge Innovation software consists of ten modules that provide an effective tool for measuring the innovation strategy of an organization
