Knowledge Management Summit: Utilizing Raw Data to Push Change at Local Level

DATA, Information and Knowledge come from the same raw materials.

However, Federal Canadian Municipalities (FCM) takes a step further in utilizing these data and uses it to improve the culture of learning and innovation to push for changes at the local level.

With that notion, FCM held the “Knowledge Management Summit: How Do Local Governments Learn?” in Ottawa, Canada, on 20 -22 June 2016. FCM has been actively promoting Knowledge Management (KM) as a medium to deliver institutional capacity development programming.

From this event, it was expected that there is renewed commitment of upcoming FCM project, innovation and replication enhancement in local governments/associations by applying KM; improvement in analytical rigor and fresher knowledge to implement and design new projects as well as application of knowledge brokering (adopting knowledge from one place to others). By doing so, attendees will be able to implement projects and programmes by using knowledge strategically to push change in local level.

UCLG ASPAC feels honored to be invited and become part of this knowledgesharing forum, carrying the same vision to push change at local level.

As the only attendee from Asia-Pacific region, UCLG ASPAC, represented by its Member Services Officer contributed to the Summit by sharing the best practice of capacity building and networking.
