B301: Knowledge-Sharing & Enterprise Memory
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Darcy Lemons, Senior Advisor, Advisory Services, APQC
Claude Malaison, President, EmergenceWeb

Organizations that invest the most in their KM programs to promote participation and measure that participation most rigorously are achieving a financial ROI of two dollars for every dollar spent per participating employee, a healthy ROI. Lemons discusses how KM practitioners can drive successful engagement, adoption and participation, including tricks to speed up the rate at which employees use and contribute to collaboration and social networking.  Many enterprises will lose, in the course of the next few years, a large part of their working force (an estimated 76 million Baby Boomers) while a new generation of employees will arrive. Steps can be taken to avoid losing the organizational expertise of retired employees and to ensure knowledge transfer to new employees. Malaison explains the 10 essential stages involved in creating the memory of an enterprise using 2.0 tools in order to transmit critical expertise.

This session arms you with information to make better decisions in your choice of a document management (ECM) vendor partnership. The document management marketplace is changing rapidly with no slowdown in sight. As major infrastructure vendors (IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle) threaten to take over the sector, what will happen to incumbents like EMC, OpenText and Interwoven? How will open source options play out — and what about software as a service (SaaS)? One thing is for sure: The document management market is growing substantially, yet making sense of it becomes harder by the day. Our experienced analyst subdivides the sector both by technology orientation and geographic dominance and provides an honest and independent opinion on the vendors in this space. He looks at current trends in the vendor marketplace and discusses how they will play out in 2011 and beyond.

Marcelus DeCoulode, Consultant, Strategy & Operations, Deloitte Consulting

2011 “We want Facebook for the enterprise!” That’s a call to action, but what does it mean, and why will it fail? There is a gulf of difference in the use case for 2.0 in the Enterprise vs. the Web. Deloitte research indicates the best starting point for E2.0 is exception management, not making friends. Permissions issues, incentives, and infrastructure differ enormously when you consider the enterprise vs. the web. Enterprise architects and decision makers need to look at the web to gather ideas but not to look in the mirror. This session provides insight into the differences and what they mean for deployments in the enterprise.

C304: Channeling Insight Into Action
3:00 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.
Katrina B Pugh, Lecturer & President, Columbia University & AlignConsulting

To manage business operations — let alone innovate — amid frequent restructurings, outsourcings, and retirements, leaders must quickly capitalize on hidden know-how that lives inside our teams, processes, and experts. Katrina Pugh discusses a facilitated process, Knowledge Jam, where conversation is at the center of knowledge transfer.  Together, knowledge-seekers and knowledge-originators draw out the context and reasoning behind their know-how, so that they can apply knowledge quickly. A conversationculture begins to shift us from transaction to discovery.  As a result, organizations improve operations, accelerate new product development, and produce productive action out of their social media initiatives.

Closing Keynote
KM From the Bottom Up
4:00 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.
Patrick Conway, Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO), U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command
Dan Kirsch, COO, KMPro
Perry Puccetti, President/CEO, The Triple-I Corporation SITAKS, FiberKC
Joe Oebbecke, Chief Knowledge Officer, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command

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.
