Chat Announcement: 

The implementation of a KM project needs to account for current practice and future trends.  With technology, innovation, and globalization constantly blurring the organizational landscape, the KM practitioner must render solutions that address these trends, while aligning with the business needs and goals.  How do we ensure the we are not rendered obsolete? What does the future hold for our industry?

Agenda: 
  • What unproven/emerging idea would you like to implement?
  • What are early adopters doing today that will be mainstream in 5 years?
  • Which technology advances will impact KM significantly, or are we at the point of incremental gains?
  • 10-minute KMers prediction market

Predictions are hard for any one person to make. The essence of stock markets is that many different decision makers all making bets on their own predictions leads to a consensus of where corporate performance is heading.

The same sort of crowd decision making can be used for anything. If you are interested in this topic, but not familiar with Prediction Markets, there is a lot of interesting research and interesting tools available.

This chat will be a little less formal than a prediction market. We will see what our small sample size of people thinks is going to happen in 2010 and we will hash it out to see if we can get some interesting learning out of it.

Agenda: 

10 min. Welcome and KM New Year Resolutions

15 min. What (changes) do you predict around KM technologies in 2010?
