Lessons Learned (1/3) te & M: Upda ned CH ns Lear Lessons learned in several areas: Content Background COP 9 Current Work Lessons Learned Final Comments 1. Resource Management 2. Knowledge and Information Management 3. Website 1. Resource Management • • 12 High-level commitment and support is a key success factor at all levels (national, regional, partners, SCBD). Appropriate human resources are always the ultimate determining factor for succesful implementation (even with available funding). SCBD has limited resources to implement IX/30. Some Parties may be in a similar situation.
Lessons Learned (2/3) te & M: Upda ned CH ns Lear Lesso 2. Knowledge and Information Management (KM & IM) • Content Background COP 9 Current Work Lessons Learned Final Comments • • • 13 There may be a big difference between a recommended KM strategy document and what could realistically be implemented. Both KM and IM require appropriate institutional and operational arrangements. Well-defined procedures, terminology and other standards are needed for successful KM & IM. Be selective and professional in compiling and preparing content. Irrelevant content is a waste for both the producer and the future users. Web 2. 0 services provide an excellent supporting infrastructure for collaboration and information exchange (eg. Google Data API, Atom Feeds, Open. Search). The CHM should make specific recommendations on how to use these services for exchanging information and knowledge. A lot of explicit knowledge sharing can be achieved through simple information types (contacts, references, projects, facts, links, events).
Lessons Learned (3/3) te & M: Upda ned CH ns Lear Lesso 3. Website Content Background COP 9 Current Work Lessons Learned Final Comments • • • 14 • Think carefully about the website structure. Visual appearance matters. - Modern website design tend to be very clean and attractive. - use pictures, videos (on You. Tube) and Maps (Google Maps) Quick navigation matters. Provide only a few pages with key services. Avoid lengthly menus and eliminate pages with little added values. Use a good well-known CMS with extensions and multilingual support. The Search Engine is important, but the presentation of results is also important. Google is powerful but has its limits (no internal DB search and raw output). The Google AJAX Search API can help. Simple user account creation and profile management is important. Translation is always a challenge.
