To incentivize regional knowledge sharing
The following steps would be essential:
• Identifying best practices at the regional forum and
publicizing them in the region will promote members
to share their experiences and best practices for
greater visibility of their efforts.
• Awards could be given to acknowledge outstanding
local or national knowledge sharing efforts at regional
level.
• Introducing concept of Knowledge Currency Units
( like earning points on a credit card) for rewarding
active contributors through gifts in the form of books,
prizes etc. could incentivize regional knowledge
sharing.
