Core Webinar: Creating a Knowledge Management Initiative for Ongoing Team
Success

Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2026

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description:

A successful knowledge management process reduces departmental stress when
long-tenured, experienced staff move on, take an extended leave, or retire.
In addition to walking through the design and implementation of a tacit
knowledge capture and sharing initiative—including examples highlighting
failure—we will discuss how you can create the conditions that shift your
team or organizational culture to one that is unthreatened (or less
threatened) by change and that celebrates the work and innovations of every
team member in every role.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the webinar, attendees will:

   -

   gain an understanding of team tacit knowledge and how an intentional
   knowledge management system can capture employee knowledge for stronger
   teams and successful work.
   -

   be able to identify opportunities within their own teams or
   organizations to begin exploring a knowledge management strategy.
   -

   learn strategies to capture and share team knowledge in a manner that
   strengthens trust and celebrates team members.


Who should attend?

Leaders who directly manage or oversee workgroups of varying sizes.

Presenters:

Amy Koester: I’ve been an active public services librarian for my entire
career, starting as a branch children’s librarian and, in my eleven years
at Skokie, progressing to my current role as Director of Public Services. I
oversee our departments responsible for advisory, hands-on learning,
information, public programming, teen, and youth services, and I’m
energized by supporting staff work to serve community needs.

Adam Sonderberg: I’ve worked with books my entire professional life, from
bookstores to libraries, in numerous capacities (frontline to management).
I’ve been at Skokie Public Library for over four years focused on Access
Services – formerly the Materials Handling Supervisor, currently the
Technical Services Supervisor – and a light smattering of Collection
Development. I am a huge fan of interdepartmental collaboration.
