Don't know how I got pulled into yet another committee, but it's true. I joined the KM Professional Society, so I could contribute to a report they are drafting called: "KM for the Next Administration." I've decided it's my ESTJ-type personality and my need to constantly improve things, make an impact, and affect change. I've also become an evangelist on "down with email" and the promotion of social networking tools such as wikis and blogs for better communication and organization of information. What I've realized, though, is I cannot write this report without the network of ideas from my fellow information/knowledge professionals.
So...here's my focus for the report in a nutshell:
- What are our best practices on improving communication methods and streamlining project workflows for better management of information and ultimately knowledge systems?
- How do you apply best practices for getting things done, fostering creativity and innovation, enabling the sharing of ideas and knowledge, connecting the dots for people, locating experts and expertise within given project/subject areas, promoting working smarter, enhancing quality of life?
- Also looking at what structures, cultures and mindsets are in place that are preventing this within the organization.
Tell me your story and I'm more then happy to share the KM Professional Society's final presentation/report with you!
