Appreciative Inquiry
One of the (relatively!) new ways of capturing knowledge in a practical way, then applying it to current challenges, if through a process called Appreciative Inquiry. The simple concept is to work with a group of people to build a vision of the desired future, then build a plan to “make it so”. There is a TON of literature on this (see the AI Commons on the Case Western University site) – or get a first hand description of how it worked for an advocacy group through this YouTube video!
