Knowledge Management

A vision for the Northern Territory Public Sector is for a capable and responsive workforce strengthened through learning, collaboration and innovation. This vision represents the public sector’s ongoing pursuit of awareness, sustainability, continuous improvement and excellence in serving the needs of Territorians and enhancing lifestyles.

Managing information and harnessing the collective wisdom and knowledge of employees is therefore crucial in achieving this vision, as is engendering a culture that nurtures and supports knowledge creation and evidence-based decision making.

The website and online resource centre is the foundation for achieving this vision. This approach will assist with the creation and evolution of knowledge, and simplifies a range of complex concepts into a knowledge model that has a significant focus on ‘reflection and interaction’ at its core.

Specific objectives of this website include:

• Inspire a healthy sharing and learning culture
• Highlight the parallels between knowledge and innovation
• Augment awareness and understanding of knowledge management in the NTPS
• Encourage and support reflection and evaluation in our work through the practical application of knowledge management tools.
