Welcome to episode eighteen of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast. This podcast series is a product supported by the Canadian Council on Learning – Canada’s leading organization committed to improving learning across Canada and in all walks of life.
I want to thank the great staff at CCL for their efforts with this project to advance our understanding of effective knowledge exchange to improve the learning of Canadians.

Dr. Robert Parent leads an exciting initiative at the Université de Sherbrooke: the Knowledge Transfer Research Laboratory. His comments about “second order knowledge transfer” should be considered very pertinent to those helping to create the conditions that will lead to sustained, trusting relationships necessary to ongoing learning and knowledge exchange. There is plenty that can be learned from sharing ideas across sectors and disciplines. Competitive advantage is not just something that is reserved for business; becoming better at the core functions of any organization or institution should be everyone’s concern, just as knowledge exchange is everyone’s responsibility. There are great challenges but there are also great rewards. Enjoy.
