Transcript of Knowledge Production Models in MaFI, rev 1 Mar 2014
leveraging the knowledge of MaFI to change the world
two models to capture, synthesise and share the best discussions created by MaFI members
-1 April 2014 -
an initiative of
as MaFI grows, more knowledge is produced by its members…
… making it harder to keep up with their best ideas and experiences
useful knowledge that MaFI members produce and share on LinkedIn
every year …
… must be shared with
others outside of MaFI too
but the best of this knowledge must be edited and synthesised
this is why we will pilot two models to synthesise and share the knowledge
produced by MaFI members:
#1: Led by MaFI Members
&
#2: Led by Post-Grad Students
NOTE: in both models the Top Influencer of The Month Awards will play a key role
Model #1: Led By MaFI Members
• the winners and runner-ups of the Top Influencer of the
Month Awards produce a draft synthesis and…
• SEEP provides support with (for example)
professional writers, proofreading, graphic design and
dissemination
• to convert the draft into
an engaging, reader-friendly and appealing document that will
target mainly practitioners worldwide
Model #1: Led By MaFI Members
Model #2: Led By Post-Grads
• Top Influencer of The Month discussions with the highest
scores are made available on the SEEP website
a short description of the question, problem or idea that started the
discussions are made available
• post-grad students identify discussions that may add value to
their research
they get in touch with MaFI to access the full text. We get
information about who they are, their supervisors and the purpose of
their research. We follow them up to see how they did.

Model #2: Led By Post-Grads
(Continued…)
•if their research got high marks, was innovative or has potential
to add value to the field of inclusive market facilitation
SEEP provides support with (for example) peer-reviewers, professional
writers and editors, proofreading and graphic design
•the student’s work becomes
a relevant, peer-reviewed paper of a high enough standard to be
published in a specialised journal
Model #2: Led By Post-Grads
final considerations
• opting-out
MaFI members will be informed of the discussion threads that will be
made available to post-grad students on the SEEP website. Unless
members explicitly request that their comments be taken out or
edited, it will be assumed that it is OK to share them outside of MaFI
• collaborating with universities and supervisors
MaFI will proactively engage and collaborate with relevant and
reputable universities and supervisors to help them promote model
#2 amongst their students
