4. Six Thinking Hats- E. De Bono
Blue Hat- Coordinator/Conductor
Red Hat- Emotional
Reaction- No
justification required
Green HatGenerative,
Brainstorming, No
judgement
Yellow Hat:
Positive- Why
it worksmust provide
evidence
Black Hat:
Negative- why it
doesn’t work.
Must provide
evidence.
White Hat: FactsFacts and
believed facts.
Ways to use it: Assign roles, all take on each role in succession, call for a
particular hat when at an impasse, or moving too quickly.

7. Demonstration
Group Paper
• Part 1 Description of the KMb Technique.
– This is essentially the content of your demonstration. Suggested elements to cover:
•
What is it, why use it, how can it be used, skills, resources and time required to implement it, things to
consider in deciding whether to use it.
– You may have identified additional elements so please feel free to include them.
•
Part 2 Group reflection on the experience suggested elements:
– Describe your group process, what roles were evident in the process, who took on what roles,
in what ways were roles shared, how was leadership shared in your group.
– What did you learn as a group? In what ways did you help each other learn?
– What did you learn from doing the demonstration- what went well, what questions did people
have, what did you learn from the comments and questions of the audience. What were your
assumptions about your audience? What adjustments have you made as a result of the
interaction? What might you try next time?
•
Weekly individual reflection
– Yes, still do your weekly individual reflection on your experience and what you will take away
from it. In what ways will the experience affect your thinking in regards to your strategy?
What did you learn from the demonstrations of the other teams. In what ways can this help
you in developing your KMb strategy?
8. Evaluation Grid Demonstration
Demonstration (Due Mar 10):
Provides engaging explanation of the KMb technique with sufficient (but not too
much) information (what it is, how it works, things to take into consideration, further
resources) to enable a potential user to:
Decide to consider using the technique for their KMb needs
Be able to move forward in deciding, planning, and utilizing the tool.
Provides the audience with the what (description)? So what (meaning)? Now
what (next steps)?
Presentation of the technique is clear, concise, utilizes plain language, designed from
the user perspective.
Takes a risk- tries something new.
9. Evaluation Grid- Demo Reflection
Reflection (Due Mar 17):
Well written (grammar, spelling, flow/underlying structure, clear, concise)
Connects specific (practice) with general (theory).
Extent to which observation, reflection, theorizing and are demonstrated.
Reflects on connections among readings, class discussions, individual and
group experiences
Demonstrates learning from experience of collaboration and demonstrationWhat went well, what to do differently? What learned about the chosen
technique? What learned from other demonstrations
10. KMb Strategy
•
Goal (What do you want to accomplish?)
– Research Question, Knowledge to mobilized (messages)
– Outputs, Outcomes and Impacts from KMb- Micro (individual), Meso (community/organization), Macro
(national/international)
•
Context (What is happening around you that can help or hinder? Organizationally, economically, politically, socially,
sectorally) Are you way in front of the wave, just ahead, behind?)
– External and Internal Environment (timing, trends)
– Research/Knowledge Relevance (Who cares, who should? What difference could it make? What, So what? Now
what? How will they use the knowledge)
– Stakeholders/Audience
• Levels of Engagement, who are they, what do they care about, where can they be found? Power dynamics
– Force Field Analysis
– Skills and resources
Methods/Activities/Techniques (What are you going to do, why?)
– Roles, messages, resources, work plan: who, will do what, by when, with what resources, how, and with what
outcomes?
Monitoring and Evaluation (How will you know if you are successful?)
– How do you know you what`s working? How do you know what to do next

11. Evaluation Grid KMb Strategy
Knowledge Mobilization Strategy
Well written (grammar, spelling, flow/underlying structure, clear, concise)
Connects specific (practice) with general (theory).
Demonstrates understanding of context, power relationships, timing, and
audience/user analysis.
Goals are clear
Methods and tools selected are feasible with a good fit with goals and
audience needs with a well thought out rationale for the choice of techniques
Evaluation is feasible to implement, provides useful information for
improvement, with outcome and impact indicators. I.e. goes beyond activity
and output indicators
12. Knowledge Mobilization – HLTH5300
Reach, Relevance, Relationship, Results
How do you know?
Reach
Did you reach your audience? Did you reach other audiences?
Relevance (Perceptions/Quality measures)
Was the knowledge relevant to them? Did they think it useful? Were they
able to use it? Did they use it? How?
Relationship
Have you achieved the number and level of relationships necessary? Are
you a credible (go to) source?
Results
What are the immediate, intermediate, and long- term outcomes and
impacts of your work?
