GLINK Methodology

GLINK events are designed using Knowledge Management practices that support collaborative knowledge creation. Sessions are facilitated through structured dialogue formats that enable participants to exchange experience, reflect on practice, and generate new insights together.

The methodology emphasises:

  • diverse participant perspectives
  • facilitated knowledge dialogue
  • collective sensemaking
  • practical insights that participants can apply in their organisations

GLINK Knowledge Creation Process

GLINK sessions are designed as collaborative environments where knowledge emerges through interaction among participants. The process typically follows four stages.

Diverse participation

Experts and practitioners from different cultures and disciplines come together to share perspectives and experience.

Structured dialogue

Facilitated conversations create space for participants to exchange ideas and insights.

Collective sensemaking

Participants reflect on emerging patterns and connections across different perspectives.

Knowledge creation

Through dialogue and reflection, new ideas, practices, and insights are generated that participants can take back to their organisations and communities.

GLINK Facilitation Principles

GLINK sessions are designed as collaborative environments rather than lecture based events. Participants actively contribute their experience and perspectives while facilitators guide the dialogue through structured formats.

The facilitation approach focuses on creating an atmosphere of trust, openness, and curiosity where participants feel comfortable sharing ideas and learning from one another. The goal is to enable meaningful cross cultural dialogue and support the emergence of new knowledge through collective interaction.
