Managing Knowledge Results : An Exploration of the Systems and Practices of Development Agencies

Knowledge organizations embrace a broad range of conceptual frameworks and methods to guide and assess how the capacities of individuals, organizations, policy frameworks, and societies are being enhanced to advance development objectives. The World Bank Institute (WBI) is a global connector of knowledge, learning, and innovation for poverty reduction. To best leverage knowledge for development effectiveness, WBI has worked to foster a results culture among its staff and establish a results infrastructure. WBI's Capacity and Results practice (WBICR) had conducted an exploratory study to examine the range of practices and systems in place at knowledge organizations to plan for and manage results. This report spotlights interesting approaches and methods used by these organizations to further the dialogue on how to plan for and strengthen the outcomes of knowledge activities going forward.
