Jeffrey Phillips, VP & Lead Consultant, OVO Innovation Co-Author, OutManeuver: OutThink, Don't OutSpend

KEYNOTE: Thinking & Searching Outside of the Box
9:45 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Dave Clarke, EVP, Semantic Graph Technology, Synaptica, part of Squirro AG, UK
Maish Nichani, Co-founder, Ola Search

Our industry helps people retrieve information by searching, browsing, and visualizing the data stored within their content management systems. This endeavor is inherently introspective in so far as it focuses on the close analysis of an enterprise’s internal content. This talk is an exercise in thinking outside of that box. Clarke explores ways in which an enterprise’s internal content can be mined for information, even when the answers don’t always exist within the data we are querying. He discusses the use of natural language processing and semantic query expansion techniques, demonstrating the power of ontologies and machine reasoning to interrogate internal content in new and powerful ways.

A101: KM Opps, Realities & Challenges
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Adriaan Jooste, CKO, Deloitte Advisory

Forces transforming “knowledge” and “knowledge sharing” include globalization, the information tsunami, on-demand expectations, flexible talent models, and cognitive technologies. This is the new reality of business and the enterprise, but the strategic choices we make to deliver knowledge at the point of need are not so different and represent new opportunities to familiar challenges.  Jooste discusses cognitive  technology, how millennials are remaking organizations and may be KM’s best new hope, “reinventing failure,” stopping knowledge from walking out the door, brain science and future scenarios for KM – disruption, design thinking, indifference or appification? 

A102: Integrated KM
11:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Dr Ibrahim Al Marri, Director, Knowledge Department, Dubai Police
Jamal Al-Jallaf, General Director of Administration of Afairs, Dubai Police

The Dubai Police Force has expended considerable effort and resources into developing a strategic perspective to KM. It has developed a unique program to motivate staff into sharing their expertise, thus harnessing the power of its new program, called “Integrated KM,” to overcome the various security challenges ahead. Every phase of this three-phased program has a specific aim and process. The first phase, started in 2013 and known as “inventory of skills and knowledge,” is specifically aimed at registering 80% of knowledge that is possessed by Dubai police officers in electronic form. The second phase of this program, begun in 2014, The Knowledge Project, is aimed at filling the knowledge gaps that exist within the Dubai police departments; this work was bridged through six steps. The third phase, known as The Knowledge Maturity Model started in 2015 and aims to measure the level of knowledge within Dubai Police, according to standards of the learning organization.

Take home tips to use in your organization! Tessier shares how Shopify’s support team has grown tremendously over the last several years and as a result, its knowledge resources have adapted to keep up. In early 2015, their most used knowledge resource was Slack, an online messaging app. She discusses harnessing the knowledge sharing occurring through the app to improve documented knowledge resources, the improved and up-to-date knowledge resources agents use to find answers they need to do their job, and more. Hear how Abbott’s Engineering Knowledge Network initiative, which includes solutions for intranet, communities of practice, technical training webinars, and knowledge call center, contributed to engineering better solutions faster.

B101: Workspace of the Future
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Cindy Hubert, Fellow, KM, APQC Author, The New Edge in Knowledge: How KM is Changing Business

The workspace of the future is here—and more changes are coming. It is an agile environment which continually evolves to suit the next generation— while also balancing older generation’s needs and wants. As organizations shift to a workforce whose majority are Digital Natives, organizations, at a bare minimum, need to be aware of the necessary characteristics required to foster a driven and collaborative workforce. Although some characteristics are here now—mobility, personalization of content, work/life balance—more significant changes (cognitive computing, electronic security, and role-based content delivery) are coming. Using data from APQC’s most current research, KM expert Hubert cuts through the hype and haziness of what behaviors are going to be needed in this emerging workspace to look at the importance of KM’s role in influencing them. Learn about the shift in expectations and discover the right path forward for your organization.

Neal McCarthy, Senior Manager, Shared Services Applications, Oxfam

Oxfam is an organization working to right the wrongs of hunger, poverty, and injustice. It is a confederation of 17 member organizations, working in more than 90 countries, in the development, humanitarian, and campaigning spheres. The organization employs more than 10,000 people and works with thousands of partner organizations around the globe. Since these organizations are separate legal entities, they have their own platforms, systems, and intranet. Recently, Oxfam embarked on a project to integrate the member organizations, including merging into one intranet, and hence linking these 10,000-plus people into one system. This session highlights both process and product considerations for decision making around intranet design and usability and the approaches taken to move forward.

This session provides practical advice for organizations looking to deploy new communities or increase engagement in/impact from existing community programs. Get tips and techniques for encouraging participation and convincing experts to move their conversations and interactions into the community environment, integrating social network technology into community programs, and making communities truly global so that they connect employees across languages, time zones, and cultures.

One of the primary goals of KM is to increase organizational agility by quickly transferring knowledge to the right people—getting them up to speed. But speed has always been a challenge in learning. It takes considerable time to develop content, to get it organized and cataloged, and even more time for learners to find and consume legacy courseware of lengthy duration.
