Resetting the Enterprise: Focusing on People, Talent & knowledge

With the economic earthquake around the globe, our enterprises have to be smarter, more creative, and innovative. Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class, says that the only way for us to survive the world economic reset in a knowledge age is to capitalize on our human capital, put our creativity to work, and stoke our innovative furnace. There are many ways to fuel the creative fires—from management techniques to team-building and effectively leveraging existing and emerging technological investments.

The 13th annual KMWorld conference and exhibition is where the latest strategies and solutions for resetting the enterprise are explored. It has workshops and sessions led by thought leaders and practitioners, while leading-edge solutions vendors are showcased in the exhibition hall. KMWorld 2009 offers a wide-ranging program especially focused to meet the needs of executives and strategic business and technology decisionmakers. This is a must-attend event for those concerned with improving their organization’s bottom line, business processes, and productivity, as well as streamlining operations and accelerating development and innovation in their evolving enterprises.

At KMWorld 2009, experienced knowledge, content, search, and intranet experts provide practical, hands-on information, case studies, and instruction that allow attendees to maximize the value of technological investments. Through many networking events, including our new capstone event—Social Discovery of KM, experts and attendees share creative ideas for making the most of knowledge, intellect, talent, and human capital in open, diverse, transparent organizations.

kmworld awards KMWorld magazine is proud to sponsor the 2009 KM Reality and the 2009 KM Promise Awards, designed to celebrate the success stories of knowledge management. The winners will be chosen by a panel of judges and the awards will be presented at KMWorld 2009. Learn More
