Interview | KM Conversations: Communications and Knowledge Sharing Cultures

How can law firms develop and sustain knowledge sharing cultures? What role does communication play in knowledge sharing and other KM-related initiatives? 

In this installment of KM Conversations, our Managing Director, Dave Wilson, discusses the importance of communication in legal Knowledge Management with Addleshaw Goddard’s Head of Knowledge and Research, Richard Gaston. The interview focuses on the firm’s current knowledge sharing culture campaign, which unites knowledge and communications to promote a positive knowledge sharing culture, with knowledge stories shared via video interviews with Addleshaw Goddard’s staff.

The discussion also covers a range of other key legal knowledge management themes including client-facing KM, cross-departmental working and measuring the impact of KM, all of which are core aspects of Richard’s role.
