Thinking Strategically and Building the Future

This interactive half-day workshop focuses on seeing the big picture and provides practical techniques for thinking strategically and building a positive future. During 30 years of working with information professionals, the presenters have often heard clients voice their own desire and that of their colleagues to better see “the big picture." Learn practical ways to consider and understand strategic contexts. A look at scanning for impacts and influences, an intensive discussion of techniques and how to apply them in a case study, and an introduction to supporting resources help attendees think more strategically and align their services with organizational strategies.

The Key Success Factor for Knowledge Management… What Else? Change Management.

Change is inevitable, yet organizations and their employees typically find it difficult to adapt. Learn to use change management as part of a knowledge management strategy to effect change within the social infrastructure of the workplace. Knowledge sharing is not rewarded in many organizations, and a well-executed change management program may be required before taking on knowledge management efforts and/or achieving desired business outcomes. This session will explore change management solutions with a panel of KM practitioners who will share case studies, practical tips, and lessons learned on how best practices in change management can affect the success of knowledge sharing initiatives.

KM Content that Delivers: Learn from the Experience of Early Adopters

The legal profession has tough requirements for its information providers. Not surprisingly, the legal community was among the early adopters of knowledge management practices to help manage their information systematically and efficiently and convey information to their stakeholders. The legal environment thus is in a unique position to provide “lessons learned” from their KM programs. Hear how the legal environment has raised the standards, workflows, and processes to deliver true efficiency in service delivery and agility in performance outcomes.

What’s All the Commotion about KM Governance?

Social media, wikis, document repositories and discussion forums increasingly play an important role in our workplaces. There is a lot of information out there, but do users know what information should be shared or what information is already available that could help them do their jobs better? KM governance establishes standards and guidelines that ensure the information that is shared is appropriate, pertinent, and easy to find. Come and listen to our experts as they share their best practices on setting up governance rules and guidelines to organize the chaos and dramatically improve the user’s experience.

Never Underestimate the Art of Storytelling in KM

Deepen your understanding of the value of storytelling as a tool for knowledge management. Storytelling is an extremely valuable KM tool that allows users to share knowledge, develop trust and commitment to create an emotional connection. They provide a context and focus for communicating tacit knowledge and allow us to convey values, ethics, and morals that contribute to individual players' and teams' work ethics and connection to the company. This session will use a number of storytelling techniques to demonstrate how a story can be used in situations such as strategy development, change management, and evaluation.
