Creating a Structured Meeting Arena for Knowledge Sharing

Paper i proceeding, 2014

This paper aims to describe how to create and structure a meeting arena by combining organisation structure and information structure; this will be used in order to create an innovative and creative arena for knowledge sharing and problem solving within the company. The model is exemplified by four industrial case-studies. Results reveal that most of the companies do not have any standards for information- or knowledge sharing, most improvement potentials are seen in structuring and storing the right information (IS), aiming from tacit towards explicit knowledge (OS) and this could be done by structuring the questions in the OS-M-IS model and by creating innovative and creative meeting arenas.
