People need to be able to navigate quickly and efficiently to data and the myriad of knowledge that resides within an enterprise. They require technologies that are flexible and adapt to the user’s needs. But with so much enterprise data and content sitting in disparate silos, finding relevant information can be a challenge. Our speakers focus on how search uses AI technologies like NLP, semantic understanding, and machine learning to provide a cognitive search experience. They discuss real-world examples of how search solutions have helped enterprises improve search, collaboration, and co-creation.

B203. Cynefin Framework: Project Management Approach for KM Projects

01:30 PM2019-11-062019-11-06

Wednesday, November 6: 1:30 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.

“We are going agile!” This seems to be a statement often used in an effort to streamline existing business practices in favor of more efficient and customer-focused processes. However, before we make a paradigm shift in our day-to-day business activities, it is important to recognize the context in which we currently situate ourselves and to make the right decisions based on that context. Enterprise Knowledge’s agile approach to KM yields the benefits of rapid implementation of KM solutions, such as a taxonomy design, content strategy, or team collaboration planning, all of which yield results within weeks or months, rather than years. However, we know that one agile approach is not the right method for every KM project. Sagar discusses using the Cynefin Framework as a model to select the right project management approach for the current reality of your organization. Rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach to project management, we continuously adjust our management style to fit your circumstances.
