I'm looking for an inspiring role model / speaker for an international company which wants to foster a culture of collaborative learning globally: breaking down silos, sharing best practice across all business areas and not reinventing local wheels.
Just the name of any organisations which have done this well would be helpful.

I don’t think “organisations” are the way to go
I have designed learning solutions for some of my clients that include collaborative learning opportunities, but I think the whole beauty and power of collaborative learning is that it does not observe the boundary lines of “organisations”. My colleague, Mark Berthelemy and I are both rampant advocates, and our respective communities of practice observe no national, sector or organisational lines. The list of people to whom I am connected through LinkedIn and Facebook, the list of blogs in my aggregator, the readers of my own blogs… the spread is huge, but it is driven by the individual.
I think I can say with a fair amount of confidence that collaborative learning cannot be driven by a top-down initiative. It must be owned, developed and driven by the individual – by the community itself.
I could suggest countless individuals for you, if that’s an alternative route you are prepared to consider.
