| Summary: | For two global programs a rural
sanitation project and a hand-washing project with the goals
of scaling up access to sanitation and increasing hygiene
behaviors how can lessons be shared easily and efficiently
with a global team across six countries, including
headquarters-based staff? That is what the Water and
Sanitation Program (WSP) sought to do in 2008 by creating a
virtual collaborative workspace, www.learningtoscaleup.org.
This smart lesson documents the challenges of trying to
create a cultural shift from communicating primarily via
e-mail and phone calls to using a virtual platform. Although
the platform is no longer used, the lessons learned from the
experience might help inform other teams seeking to create a platform. |
