A couple of days ago I sat in on a meeting in an organization that is facing a difficult challenge. The group that was meeting has been tasked with setting the policies and dealing with the logistics for the move. The meeting produced little in the way of knowledge exchange or learning.

Roles, positions, organizational norms, formats for meetings, even physical space, all work against having the kind of conversations we need to have to integrate knowledge from diverse perspectives. Convening the conversation takes place both through social media and in face-to-face meetings.

In these meetings individuals exchange their data, conclusions, reasoning and questions with others. The title is a bit of an exaggeration, but intended to make the point that contrary to common belief, our own articulation of an idea adds to our understanding of that idea. At face value that doesn’t make much sense, after all we must know what we think about an issue; how else are we able to talk about it? But the reality is that what we don’t necessarily know what we know.

In general I tend to believe that if you can't trust your employees to behave appropriately on a social network, then you probably shouldn't be trusting them to go to meetings, answer phones or have customer contact in any way. Long story short, a VP at a major marketing firm tweeted this message upon arriving in Memphis to meet with a major client--FedEx: True confession but i’m in one of those towns where I scratch my head and say “I would die if I had to live here!”

Meetings. Meetings are great opportunities to build relationships – IF at least a third of every meeting puts members in small groups of three or four to work on issues that matter to them. Typical meetings, where each individual directs comments to the leader at the front of the table, don’t build relationship, at least not positive ones. With Peer Assist a team that is beginning a new effort, invites others (who have experience with the task) to meet with them.

They know the subtleties of the process and hold the tacit knowledge of how it works and therefore how it will have to be adapted or reinvented to meet the new realities. Organizational meetings too often seem to be opportunities for each person to make declarative and politic statements about their own position, with little interest in trying to understand the meaning others intend to convey.
