Hilary Barlow, Architect and Community Manager at Payette
Webinar Summary
Payette is a design firm that specializes in the healthcare, health science, and academic science markets. Maintaining a competitive advantage in rapidly changing markets means that the Payette team must prioritize continuous learning and development. To maintain a competitive edge, team members must engage in a lot of continuous learning.
In her role as Community Manager for Payette’s Big Science Group, Hilary Barlow has answered a difficult question: What does learning look like for highly skilled professionals, many of whom are already experts in their field?
In this webinar, you’ll learn how Hilary:
- Identifies hot topics and good teachers
- Convenes the Big Science community
- Captures key learnings on Synthesis
- Engages community members in the process
If you only have a few minutes, we recommend jumping to two highlights: Introduction to Payette’s Knowledge Groups (9:00) and Big Science’s Monthly Meetings (14:00).
