Knowledge Hub boasts a proud heritage within public sector digital collaboration. Originated and developed for local government by local government, the Knowledge Hub and its predecessor Communities of Practice have been enabling public service practitioners to share knowledge online since 2006.

Since January 2016, Knowledge Hub has been an independent small company maintaining the original ethos of a free to use platform for public service professionals to share knowledge, experiences and learning,  Now part of Placecube we continue to place our focus for building open digital engagement.

The growing Knowledge Hub community consists of over 150,000 public service professionals and their partners who use Knowledge Hub to exchange ideas and solutions and share good practice and innovation.

What services does Knowledge Hub provide?

Knowledge Hub’s technology is an enabler for public service organisations everywhere to share information and learn from each other within online groups. Knowledge Hub groups are flexible spaces that can be used for a variety of purposes, from large communities of practice, to small time-limited project groups, working groups, training programmes or recruitment campaigns. A Knowledge Hub group may be open, restricted or private.

Knowledge Hub digital networks also provide organisations with the opportunity to buy their own branded ‘slice’ of Knowledge Hub for use as an externally branded open network of groups (extranet), a private social intranet, or a mixture of the two. This allows you to seamlessly engage with employees, partners, suppliers and citizens all in one place without the need for multiple logins.
