NGO Knowledge Exchange Forum

About the NGO KXF:

The NGO Knowledge Exchange Forum was recently launched at the urging of Washington DC Chapter members who are PM practitioners at a wide range of not-for-profit organizations. The intent of the community is to exchange knowledge to promote professional development and collaborate with PMI to promote the needs of non-profit PM practitioners.

The forum will organize future meetings to address not-for-profit specific topics of interest in the coming months. Meetings follow the Knowledge Exchange Forum format. Members of the group deliver brief presentations, followed by group discussions and consensus conclusions.

The key element of the KXF format is the peer-to-peer exchange of knowledge and experience between members of the project management community, guided by practical experiences of both the presenters and attendees. We think you will find the KXF to be unlike any other educational experience. Led by PMs for PMs, all are peers and learners. Expertise is not a prerequisite for sharing your experience and ideas with other PMs.

Presenters may:

Present a problem they have experienced
Offer perspectives on a new technique they have implemented
Present a paper they intend to publish
Share lessons learned from a project or a tool

Equally important is the discussion stimulated by each presentation, where all of the participants can contribute their knowledge and experience to the topic at hand.
