Comment on KB & Communications roles in KTE by Dave Walker

Dave Walker — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:05:46 +0000

Hi Paula,

We’re struggling with the same thing at the Mental Health Commission, and it’s worse in my position on the web team – I’m officially assigned to our KE group but work very closely with Comms (I joke about having two managers).

Basically, we have a KE person and a Comms person on every project. KE handles the webinars/CoPs/report dissemination/etc., and liaison with the project team, while the Comms team handles media relations, press releases, news events and so on. It’s not a perfect split, but it’s not bad.

I come from a corporate marketing background, and approach KE with much more of a marketing view than a traditional KE view. Some of my solutions are more Comms/Marketing than pure KE, especially online. This creates some raised eyebrows among the KE folk, but Comms understands what I’m doing. I’m not sure what the appropriate split is – it’s a Venn diagram with more overlap than discrete circles.

I think the KBs and the Comms people have a lot to teach each other. We’ve forced a lot of overlap at the Commission, and things are working out pretty well.

Comment on What KTE Journals do you read? by Peter Levesque

Peter Levesque — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:33:30 +0000

Thank you for this David.

I was wondering how people assess the relative importance of one journal over another.

Impact factor is something I often hear from others, however I am not sure if they really know what the ratio means. The wikipedia article is a useful start: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_factor) to understanding impact factors.

How do you determine the relative importance of a journal to your work in knowledge mobilization?

Comment on KT Supplement Funding Opportunity – CIHR by Sue Cragg

Sue Cragg — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 11:37:32 +0000

I’ve heard that this initiative is getting a LOT of inquiries. So… the bad news is it will be highly competitive. The good news is that perhaps this one-off funding initiative will have sufficient support to become a regular funding initiative. Not that any of us have a crystal ball, especially when it comes to government funding programs.
