Keynotes

More than ever, IT is being held accountable for protecting valuable business information and intellectual property. Meanwhile, users are demanding better technology that provides the straightforward and intuitive characteristics of consumer technology for sharing content, collaborating with others and accessing information from mobile devices.  Hear from Whitney Tidmarsh Bouck and a key Box client about how cloud-based solutions provide companies of all sizes with the ability to meet the demands of end users, lower total cost of key applications, while still protecting corporate information.

Knowledge sharing and collaboration are key to bottom-line success, no matter what business you are in. This session discusses integrating secure collaboration into program management activities in the Air Force.

You don't want to miss this closing session!  In this "Panel Challenge" the moderator presents some tough questions for panel members, based on the experiences and practical issues encountered by one Government Agency (U.S Army CASCOM) during its ongoing  implementation of Knowledge Management (KM), specifically from the  vantage point of different stakeholders. The session approaches KM from  individual users' perspectives, whether it be a young Soldier, employee,  middle manager, or senior leader, each having different expectations and  requirements from a KM program. Uniqueness aside, all organizations share fundamentally common challenges in successfully launching KM  programs, but when viewed from the individual user and stakeholder perspective it's clear KM is not one tool, but a tool box of different  techniques and technologies. While the challenges pointed out in this  session are examples from a single DOD organization, they are shared by  all, and this discussion provides an opportunity for planting seeds of innovation and creativity in overcoming obstacles and challenges with KM  implementations.
