Susan Stucky's work focuses on identifying strategic knowledge
assets and transforming them to create even more value.
She
founded the Strategic Practices Group (SPG) in 1999 to develop
and further refine a consulting practice in strategic learning
for knowledge-based businesses. She has led the development
and implementation of SPG's Wild KnowledgeTM and 360°
Design processes. Her practice is based on twelve years of
experience in building the interactive research and design
expertise at the Institute for Research on Learning.
By
focusing on the social systems underlying an organization's
knowledge assets, SPG jump starts cutting-edge business practices
in a reliable, repeatable, and sustainable way. While
Susan has a history of participation in the development of
leading ideas such as wild knowledge, situated learning and
social ecology, she has proved to be pragmatic and tenacious
in ensuring that the ideas take root and that strategic practices
create value for the organization.
Her
recent work with global corporations has included helping
them to:
-
develop intellectual capital strategies, evolve the practices
to bring them to life
- architect
communications strategy for corporate communications to
take on organizational learning and knowledge management
-
prototype new design practices for work environments for
knowledge-sharing and learning
-
develop new ways of mapping the social patterns that enable
knowledge generation and knowledge-sharing
Before
launching SPG, Susan was involved in setting up and running
both the Institute for Research on Learning and the Center
for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University.
She holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Illinois
and Postdoctoral work in Cognitive Science and Artificial
Intelligence at the University of Massachusetts and at Stanford
University.
