KEYNOTE: Transforming the Way We Collaborate

Find out what you can do to succeed in today’s information age.

A301: Energizing Organizational Learning & Strategic Communications
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Narrative intelligence is a critical tool that helps a learning organization to strengthen its organizational vision, enhance strategic communications, capture and transfer organizational knowledge, externalize and internalize tacit knowledge, encourage innovation, build communities, and develop effective training, mentoring and learning strategies. These are the critical elements of a KM program. Being able to work effectively with narrative and stories is a critical competency in a learning organization. The relationship between knowledge, learning, and narrative intelligence is the linkage that sustains a vibrant learning organization. Turning experience into a story is considered by many as a fundamental mode of sense-making. The narrative weaves together stories that help people within the organization with broader sense making of the whole. One of the recent vibrant channels of expression is the use of social media to share and experience the world. As 21st-century knowledge workers struggle to provide value and be effective under 20th-century managerial structures, the need to evolve into a learning organization is pressing. This session offer strategies, cases, and exercises on how using narrative intelligence through channels offered by social media and organizational communications can energize organizational learning in sustainable ways.

A303: Facilitating Organizational Change: Four Keys for Success
2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
Michael Grigsby,
IT Manager, Information Technology,
Kansas City Police Department
Organizational change can be slow and frustrating. Tackling the added demands of reshaping an organization’s culture can seem doubly challenging. However, with the proper approach, realistic goal-setting, and a unified commitment, the benefits can lead to dramatic improvements of organizational performance, efficiency, and sustainability, as well as personal and professional value for those involved. Change is often short-lived because of a failure in one or more of four distinct areas: acknowledgment, assessment, planning, or commitment. This session identifies key components within each of these areas and lays a foundation for both immediate and long-term results. The scalability of these strategies allows them to be universally successful, regardless of organization size or industry.
A304: Building Smarter Networks
3:00 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.
Operational excellence—the systematic management of processes, systems and behaviors—drives an organization’s productivity, safety and reliability. Expert knowledge is struggling to sustain continual performance improvement as work grows and the new generation workforce is less-motivated to spend years of concentrated practice to replace retiring thought leaders. As described in David Weinberger’s book Too Big to Know, collaborative networks harnessing their members’ diverse skills and experience are emerging as an important problem-solving and decision-making resource. KM practitioners have developed effective methods to create these networks. Their next challenge is finding ways to help network members become smarter— learning how to “think” as well as how to “do.” Learn about several smarter network systems including a SharePoint social learning system based on an expert’s mental model that cuts time to competency while enhancing the network’s performance capability.
