Knowledge Sharing in Philanthropy: Lessons for Leaders and Communities in Times of Historic Change

Join Columbia University’s M.S. in Information & Knowledge Strategy (IKNS) program for a special IKNS Conversations That Matter event, moderated by Jamie Muskopf, DSW, exploring what functional leaders and communities of practice (CoPs) can learn from knowledge management in philanthropy.

In times of immense change, how do organizations share knowledge effectively to drive sustained learning and resilience? Philanthropic organizations, with their mission-driven focus and collaborative nature, have developed innovative ways to exchange insights and tackle complex challenges. Ari Kramer (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) and Donita Volkwijn (Philanthropy New York) will share examples of key initiatives and networks that foundations and philanthropy-serving organizations have created to facilitate organizational effectiveness and collective impact.

As we are all being touched by the historic waves of change surging across our nation, this discussion will go beyond knowledge management, offering insights into how leaders across industries can create stronger, more connected organizations and communities. Whether you work in business, nonprofits, technology, or any field that depends on collaboration, you’ll gain valuable perspectives on overcoming barriers to knowledge-sharing, sustaining engagement, and building communities that drive innovation and change.
