[LINK] Public services knowledge exchange online in Australia

[Steven Clift]

Thank you everyone for the useful feedback.

On a related note, for those interested in online groups that work for
knowledge exchange across public services, please join us for this
free virtual event. - Steve

Join a special online event on the Knowledge Hub on the Art of Online
Groups that Work in Public Services:

     http://khub.net

Or: https://knowledgehub.local.gov.uk

No matter the technology platform, how do we best foster dynamic and
sustained online communities of practice that foster public service
innovation and improvement?

What lessons do crucial online group facilitators and leaders have to
share? (That's tip one, active facilitators rock.)

Join us for a simple asynchronous exchange on what works.

When you join the Knowledge Hub, you will automatically be added to
"KHub Connects" where the virtual Q and A and discussion event will
take place. I recommend you set notifications to immediate or daily.

You can read the introductions with opening tips now:

Join KHub above and then add your own.

This virtual event is based on a very successful in-person gather the
other month that I hosted with Forum One Communications at the
OpenGovHub in DC. I will share highlights from that dynamic event as
part of this new online event.

What is the Knowledge Hub?

KHub is the digital collaboration platform for public services based
in the UK with over 100,000 members across 1500+ online groups.

By public services, we mean those in government, nonprofits, and
anyone involved with public service delivery widely defined. Direct
peer to peer professional knowledge exchange among those in local
government is the core driver of engagement.

Based on keywords related to your interests and skills that you enter
when you join KHub, other groups will be recommended to you. Some will
have crucial membership requirements as in executing X or Y program or
being part of certain intergovernmental task forces, etc., so please
keep that in mind. A special showcase of existing UK created and new
groups open to very global participation is under development.

Stay tuned for announcements about KHub's global expansion. The
innovative Knowledge Hub was started by the UK government nearly a
decade ago and is now sustained and led by CapacityGrid.

Once you join KHub, you can then be part of their global expansion
initiative - Join from: https://khub.net/web/khubglobal

Thanks,
Steven Clift
