Knowledge Management

Prisma helps organizations capture, store, and utilize knowledge effectively to improve decision-making and institutional memory. This includes:

  • Developing knowledge-sharing platforms and databases for program insights.
  • Conducting after-action reviews and lessons-learned workshops.
  • Creating case studies and best practice reports to inform future programming.
  • Enhancing internal and external communication of research findings and monitoring results.
Learning and Adaptation

Prisma promotes a culture of learning and continuous improvement by facilitating adaptive management approaches. This involves:

  • Facilitating learning events to reflect on program successes and challenges.
  • Adaptive programming and management – enabling organizations to refine strategies based on emerging data.
