Agenda
Session 1:
Content Management Practices:
Structured Vs. Unstructured Approaches
- How do we ensure that content management optimally caters to
- challenges posed by diversity of sources, needs, structures and systems across the enterprise?
- What are the opportunities and challenges arising from rapidly
evolving models such as "social software" (or web 2.0) and semantic web for enterprise content management? - How does knowledge organization (e.g., taxonomies, mental maps, ontologies and representations) aid effective content management in the era of the keyword search?
- How do you measure the business impact of content management in an enterprise?
- In the age of information overload, how do you ensure precision and recall in the retrieval of information from content
management systems?
Session 2:
Technology to Harness Knowledge in a Connected World
- Building a Strategic KM Technology Roadmap for an Organization:
Challenges and Tips - Emerging Technology Trends and What it means for KM: Web 2.0,
Mashups, Mobility, Etc. - Collaborative and Social Technology: Hype or Essential? What is the impact?
- What comes first: Technology, Process, or Culture?
- What Technology will Enhance Creativity and Innovation
Session 3:
Steps towards building an Innovation Ecosystem
- Can Innovation be managed as a process to bring more predictable outcomes?
- What key practices do successful organizations follow to be
innovative? - How should we manage ideas as a knowledge asset, and transform
them to meaningful innovations? - Why is an Innovation Eco-system an imperative for sustaining a
knowledge agenda? - What is the role of co-creation and how do we create a better
collaborative structure for all stakeholders including firms,
entrepreneurs, financial institutions, academic institutes, and
government bodies?
Session 4:
Summit Keynote: Naturalizing KM
- After over a decade of theory and practice has knowledge
management worked? - Have we managed to make KM an strategic function, or is it just a increasingly minor aspect of the the IT function in organizations?
- How does the technology of Web 2.0 impact on KM?
In this keynote Dave Snowden will argue that for KM to survive we need to:
- create systems that recognize the importance of informal, self
generating networks rather than over formalized approaches to highly structured communities of practice.
- realize that we always know more than we can tell, and we will
always tell more than we can write down. Rather than focusing on
tacit and explicit knowledge we need to manage content, narrative and experience in very different ways.
- address the strategic concerns of the organization, focusing on
decision support and innovation rather than managing knowledge (or
more likely information) for its own sake
Session 5:
Creating Knowledge Through Conversations and Socialization
- What is Knowledge Creation and its relationship to Innovation?
- What role do conversations play in KM?
- What role do social networks play in KM?
- What is the relationship between social networks and sense-making?
- What are different means of creating conversation: Unconferences, Knowledge Cafes, etc.
