This report aims to portray the current position in Australia and the
Asia-Pacific region of

the use of e-learning through a social context lens that is relevant for both
business and

government sectors.

Going through the report it explains why e-learning matters through a social
networking

lens. This enables us to understand the broader concepts of organisation capital
within

e-learning networks. Change is all around us; there is even a special variety of
digital

linguistics that plays an important role in any discussion on e-learning.

Protecting your organisation against future uncertainty



Hi All - Ark are trying something new for us, by presenting a webinar
and will have Dave Snowden and Dr Michael Jackson talking about horizon
scaaning and social computing to explain how these two disciplines can
work together to help organisations plan for the future and protect
themselves against unexpected threats.

http://www.ark-group.com/section.asp?docId=444 go here to find out more
about it - the time is way past my bedtime, but others may be able to
take part.

A kickstart discussion for 2009. Your opinions matter.
Where do you see KM, CM, IM heading in 2009/ 2010?
I would appreciate feedback from everyone, vendor, practioner,
consultant... politician.
We have a magazine called Inside Knowledge – www.ikmagazine.com and
there is an article by Zeke Wolfberg, who works for the US Defense
Intelligence Agency.

"The term `jumbo shrimp' has always amazed me. What is a jumbo
shrimp? I mean, it's like `military intelligence' – the words don't
go together, man." — George Carlin, Saturday Night Live, October 11,
1975

In the article Mr Wolfberg states:

"Even though DIA is a knowledge enterprise, for the first four
decades we didn't think of ourselves in that way. We didn't equate
intelligence and knowledge, and thought of ourselves as an
intelligence enterprise. As a consequence, our culture was
excessively secretive and conservative. The knowledge we formerly
produced was as factual as it is today but our culture didn't
encourage speculation or making inferential leaps based on the
facts."

He also talks about: `Increasing collaboration' means getting people
who should work together to actually work together. It means people
who today work in parallel might start to share their research and
analysis. It also means people who work various pieces of problems
(like what it takes to send our people on overseas deployment) get
together and start working as a team. It also means that people who
today `collaborate' by sharing their finished work products stop
doing that and start sitting down together from the start to solve
problems.
`Knowledge integration' means overcoming the tendency to hold onto
information – whether collected, analysed, distilled, created, or
however it came into one's possession – as if it belonged to your own
office or to your personally. Knowledge within the intelligence
community cannot be proprietary property, and by sharing it we enable
it to find the people who need it.

After that introduction, my question is how do you see Collaboration
and the tools to make it happen evolving over the next year or two –
or are tools necessary?

KM Asia 2008

Redefining knowledge strategy and engaging a collaborative enterprise

25-27 November 2008

Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre

Five MAKE Award Winners to provide a practical focus at KM Asia 2008

Each year the Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) Awards recognise organisations who are leading the way in knowledge management, intellectual capital and organisational learning practices. These organisations have much valuable experience and practical insights to offer other organisations aspiring to build innovative and knowledge driven enterprises.

KM Asia 2008, taking place 25-27 November 2008 at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre will bring together five different organisations which have been recognised by MAKE Awards at global, regional, or country level: The World Bank, 3M, Shell, Eureka Forbes and MindTree Limited.

Keynote speaker Nicolas Gorjestani is a Former Chief Knowledge & Learning Officer at The World Bank, a five-time Global MAKE Award Winner recognised for creating an enterprise-driven knowledge culture, developing knowledge workers through senior management leadership, and for creating an environment for collaborative knowledge sharing.

Seven-time Global MAKE Award Winner, 3M, will be represented by J. Roberto Evaristo from their Knowledge Management Program Office, who will be giving a keynote presentation on how innovation in knowledge management is enabling organisational innovation at 3M. The 2007 MAKE panel recognised 3M for delivering value based on customer knowledge.

The programme also features Shell, the recipient of a seventh Global MAKE Award in 2007 for organisational learning and transforming enterprise knowledge into shareholder value. Eureka Forbes, Asia's largest direct sales company will present a case study describing the initiatives that led them to winning a 2007 Asian MAKE Award for its enterprise knowledge sharing and collaboration, and transforming enterprise knowledge into shareholder value. Eureka Forbes is a four-time Asian MAKE Finalist and two-time Asian MAKE Winner. MindTree Limited rounds out the MAKE Award Winner line-up, having been the overall winner of the 2007 Indian MAKE Awards.

Beyond these five MAKE Award Winners, the programme also provides opportunities to hear from knowledge thought leaders Dave Snowden and Nancy Dixon and gain practitioner insights from Singapore Armed Forces; National Library Board; Nanyang Technological University, Knowledge Enterprises; Hong Kong Knowledge Management Society; iKMS; Straits Knowledge, and the author of The Organizational Zoo.

Hello,

We have had some recent developments with KM Asia that may be of
interest, or may already know about.

Ark Group and iKMS recognise the value in providing the knowledge
community with greater access to two events which complement each
other, Ark Group's KM Asia, and iKMS' KM Singapore. KM Singapore will
take place on the day following the close of KM Asia and will focus
primarily on KM implementation and practice in Singapore, providing
an opportunity for KM professionals to gain a comprehensive
conference experience over four consecutive days.

  iKMS members are featured in KM Asia, with former President Kan Siew
Ning participating in a speed debate, Patrick Lee from Singapore
Sports Council presenting a local practitioner case study, and
current President Patrick Lambe presenting a post-conference workshop.

Any iKMS members interested in attending the conference are entitled
to a special discounts to attend the conference and/or Patrick
Lambe's  workshop, so please contact us on aga@...  for
further information.

As part of this relationship, iKMS will be offering KM Asia attendees
the opportunity to attend KM Singapore at the special iKMS member
rate. KM Singapore will be taking place 1st November 2007 and more
details about the event and how to register can be found here:
http://www.kmsingapore.com/register.html

KM Arena will also make its debut in Asia. After its debut and
success at KM Australia, KM Asia 2007 is proud to bring you this
unique networking opportunity.

For more information go to www.kmasia.com or email
aga@....

Best regards,

Ark Group KM Research

After its debut and success at KM Australia, KM Asia 2007 is proud to bring you a unique networking opportunity called KM Arena.

Simple but effective!

Once at KM Asia, if there is someone at the conference you would like to meet, you can request that they meet you in the KM Arena.

How to arrange a meeting in KM Arena:

1. Look at the attendee list located at the Ark Group stand to see if there is anyone in particular you would like to meet
2. Head to the KM Arena and tell the Ark Group staff both your name and the name of the person/s you would like to meet
3. Watch the screen to see when the person you requested enters the Arena
4. Introduce yourself and begin networking!

Alternatively you can pre-arrange a meeting with someone by posting a message in this forum.

We encourage you to suggest topics online that you would be interested in discussing with other attendees. By posting in this group, you can generate some initial discussion, and then make plans to meet up in the KM Arena to explore the topic further.

We have positive expectations about this practical exercise and anticipate that this year's delegates will enjoy embracing the enhanced networking opportunities!

Hi all,

Michel Bauwens, one of the keynotes from KM Australia 2007, has kindly provided the following link to a video of a recent presentation given at Swinburne University.

http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=4549818267592301968&hl=en-AU

The video was produced by Darren Sharp at Swinburne, and Michel has stated that it is by far the best presentation so far, clearly explaining the basics of the Peer to Peer Foundation's vision for peer to peer.

Michel made a great contribution to KM Australia this year and received great feedback, so if you are interested in find out more about Michel and his work, please visit http://p2pfoundation.net
