Online Competitions: Defining Success and Demonstrating Impact- upcoming event

A KM Impact Challenge Event hosted by the Society for International Development (SID) Washington DC Knowledge Management Workgroup

Date: Tuesday October 26, 2010
Time:  12:30pm - 2pm

Venue: International Resources Group (IRG) and Webinar (see details below)
Address: 1211 Connecticut Avenue NW; 4^th Floor; Washington, DC 

Online Competitions-also referred to as Challenges, Knowledge Fairs, and Innovation Markets-are gaining popularity and becoming a go-to knowledge management tool.  But how do we define (and achieve) success-and perhaps more importantly for continued investment, how do we measure and demonstrate their impact?  What can online competitions contribute to improve development effectiveness?

The event will feature presentations from a few practitioners including: Kris Herbst, Creative Manager and Alexa Clay, Knowledge and Learning Manager, Ashoka's Changemakers; Gail Davenport, the World Bank Institute; Daniel Munz, U.S. General Services Administration who will share insights and recommendations from their experience.  There will also be the opportunity for audience members to share and discuss their perspectives.

Join us to advance our collective understanding of this topic!

Moderators:

Stacey Young  Senior Knowledge Management Advisor at USAID and Co-chair of the SID KM Workgroup

Tony Pryor       Senior Manager at International Resources Group and Co-chair of the SID KM Workgroup
