Capitalising experiences means to collectively reconstruct what has happened, reflect on it and draw lessons learnt. At its core, it means to bring structure into tacit, fuzzy knowledge, making it explicit and shareable.

Members can run local or regional events, where diverse participants come together for one or more days to discuss their activities and experiences within a previously set topic or area of work in order to learn and improve their practice.

Thanks to exchange visits our members work closer together. One (or more) partner organisations visits another partner organisation and their projects in order to learn from their practice and methods applied.

Our Communities of Practice are interest groups that interact regularly to learn more. They enable stronger networks and learning processes among partner organisations operating in similar areas.

The Knowlympics is our knowledge sharing game, where partner organisations can win prizes for sharing their experiences in form of “good practices” as well as “learnings from failure”.

Storytelling can be used to increase visibility by telling impact stories as well as to capitalise experiences. Stories are personal and based on a protagonist which means that an experience is linked to and told by one individual person involved in a project.

Partner organisations might have a need for short-term consultancy in a field of expertise, but a full-time advisor is not necessary. Borrow-an-Advisor provides short-term consultancy and allows more partner organisations to profit from their know-how.

Specific trainings are either organised by horizont3000 or by partner organisations themselves. They complement the partner organisation’s work and methods, strengthen their structures and procedures and enable joint learning.

One-off trainings do not always deliver the expected change at organisational level. To support the application of learnings into the organisational structures, coaching/consultancy by an external expert are offered to partner organisations in combination with specific trainings or on its own.

AAR is a workshop format that enables direct learning from successes and failures immediately after a critical activity or event – while memories are still vivid. It enables course corrections, optimises teamwork and builds a collective, action-oriented knowledge base.

Our learning process crucially includes follow-ups such as action plans or surveys. Additionally, knowledge management advisors are assigned to provide support to partner organisations throughout a project lifecycle.

An EoE is a one-off meeting where persons meet to exchange on a specific topic. It differs from a sharing event in size and from a community of practice in purpose. An EoE has a clear objective and agenda and is coordinated/facilitated by a person from horizont3000.

International Knowledge Management requires multiple levels of coordination. This is why there is one specific advisor in each country or region we work in who supports partner organisation with the planning and implementation of learning and sharing activities.
