Improvement toolkits & good practice databases are useful but they only take us so far. As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation isn't written down. It's not a failure of documentation. it's to do with the nature of the knowledge and the way it gets spread. That's why it is critical that we make time & space for networks, communities of learning/practice, huddles & sharing conversations if we want change & improvement to happen: nickmilton.com/2021/11/why-y…. Thanks @nickknoco
