NSW KM Forum 5 August meeting - Free event

Anne Hudson of Grouputer Solutions will talk on collaborative technologies.

The second speaker is Andrew Balmaks, with a talk entitled Practical KM: Turning Rhetoric to Reality

Knowledge management in many organisations is confined to academic debates by enthusiasts and/or a focus on information technology. Gaining tangible benefits from knowledge management is the major challenge for organisations that have a knowledge agenda. Two organisations that are taking active steps to achieve practical outcomes are the Department of Defence and the Department of Family and Community Services.

Andrew is a Principal with Noetic Solutions (www.noeticsolutions.com.au) has been involved in working with both organisations on gaining practical outcomes from their knowledge agenda. He will present two short case studies about this work to stimulate questions and discussion:

Valuing Intellectual Capital (Department of Defence)
Getting some quick wins from Knowledge Management (Department of Family and Community Services)
Andrew will identify:

* the problem and what the organisations were seeking to achieve
* the methodology used to address the problem
* the product of the work
* how the work impacted on the organisation
* the way ahead
