Best Practices...in Best Practices

I'm working on redeveloping our company best practice knowledgebase, but - as with much knowledge - feel that all of the focus has been on codification, with little emphasis on the more human aspects, namely idea generation, capture, ongoing best practice discussion and amendment (lifecycle), and transfer for validation through use (a.k.a. knowledge replication). I'm trawling through as much as possible on After Action Reviews, Post Project Reviews (we are a project based organisation), flows of knowledge, patterns and anti-patterns, and so on and so forth, so if anyone has any thoughts or experiences or best practices for best practices, please get in touch with me and let me know...

(...and I should add that I prefer better practices as a term (not just "good" and continually improving).)
