Learning Before
At the beginning of a work activity, and accepting that individuals and teams bring a body of knowledge to a task, Learning Before is about considering what you know, what you don’t know and identifying strategies to plug knowledge gaps to get a piece of work off to the best possible start.
This might mean searching for written or explicit knowledge such as tools and guidance; or, it could mean identifying and discussing with experts their insights and experiences or their tacit knowledge. Techniques presented in the framework can help an organisation or team to get started quickly and efficiently on a project or piece of work by giving them access to the learning and experiences of others who’ve undertaken the same work or something similar in the past. So this means they can avoid the pitfalls that have befallen others and they can benefit from the successes of others too – helping to get it right first time.KM Learning before set https://kghlibrary.koha-ptfs.co.uk/1521250-2/

what is the current situation?
Learning During
Learning During balances both Learning Before and Learning After activities: it is concerned with both new knowledge requirements as they emerge and packaging insight/experience to provide the foundation for the work that follows.

what does the future look like?
Implement – action planning and reporting
Learning After
Learning After is concerned with taking a pause to reflect on a work activity, and to capture, build – and ultimately share a knowledge base of a work area with those that would have an interest in it. That knowledge might be shared with immediate peers in different departments or organisations, or with successors.
