AIIM NE Members invited to KM Cafe on Knowledge Management Challenges
SLA Boston and Boston KM Forum are pleased to announce a joint knowledge symposium: KMF Café – Table-talking KM Challenges
The topics for the symposium are:
- Avoid future crisis – How can business and application process documentation be kept up-to-date and in sync? (Technology-based projects, methods and practices evolve, change and expand)
- Social networking redo – How can a failed collaboration implementation be successfully re-launched? (a pharmaceutical company case)
- Clinical practice experts online – What’s the next step in a collaboration infrastructure? (a health care provider case)
- Taxonomies – How can they improve enterprise search? (enterprise content behind the firewall needs better search)
- Library/information management” and “knowledge management” – Are these professionals’ competencies alike? and Do titles matter? (information professional positioning in the enterprise)
- Records management, knowledge management, and information management – Are they converging or diverging? (filling human resource requirements and team building)
Format: There will be six tables, each with a case presenter and moderator. The case presenter will describe the challenge as a mini case study and open the discussion with questions for the table audience. Over the course of an hour the moderator and presenter will “tease out” commentary, suggestions and innovative solutions. Attendees will rotate three times during the meeting to new tables and a different topic of interest. In the afternoon, moderators/presenters will share highlights of the case and commentary.
