Client Roundtables
What are Client Roundtables?
Each quarter we get clients together over Zoom to share knowledge and inspiration, brainstorm solutions to challenging problems, and build their professional networks.
We are currently running four, 90-minute roundtables a quarter — Executive Sponsors, Knowledge Management, Learning + Development, and Internal Communications.
Client Roundtables are free of change and are limited to active clients of Knowledge Architecture.
How do Client Roundtables work?
When you register for a roundtable you are asked a simple question, “What question would you most like to ask your peers right now?”
We use the answers to that question to develop the topics and format for the next roundtable, which are announced 2-4 weeks in advance.
Roundtables vary between a mix of general session presentations, small group breakouts, and general knowledge sharing and discussion, depending on that session’s topics.
