Editor's note
=============
With new technological developments opening up more possibilities
for Knowledge Management within organisations, it's important not
to lose the human touch. Continuing the theme of coaching and
mentoring this week, our featured toolkit items offer some useful
tips and techniques for encouraging and recording individual
development, providing a useful way of both establishing and
documenting one-on-one informal discussions between employees and
recording learning opportunities.

This month's theme: coaching and mentoring

Featured Toolkit materials: promoting mentoring and learning
------------------------------------------------------------
For the mentoring process to work effectively, the mentee needs
to take on responsibility for their own development.
With increasing recognition of the value of continuous
professional development and lifelong learning, capturing the
learning taking place can be a problem. Taken from 'a Toolkit
for Trainers' written by Tim Pickles, 'Tools for recording
learning' offers advice and useful templates to use to build a
learning portfolio and individual learning log. See
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/toolkit/trainer_devel/
When 'learning organisations' are so much in favour, companies
have much to do to support the learning of their people. Using
largely a questioning checklist approach, 'Guidelines for
effective learning and mentoring in companies' by Stuart Emmett
shows how this can be achieved. See
