Networked Enterprises: Empowered to Share & Apply Knowledge is the theme of  KMWorld 2011 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in DC, Oct 31-Nov3.  The call for speakers has been extended to Monday March 7th so if you haven’t already sent in a proposal to share your knowledge and experience with colleagues, please do.  We look forward to seeing you at our 15th annual KMWorld.

Here is a listing of the series of session notes for KM World 2010 and Enterprise Search Summit 2010.  It was a great and it was tough to determine which sessions to record. I tried to pick a cross section of topics. I hope you find these notes useful. It was also nice to be in Washington and I will be posting on my restaurant experiences in an upcoming post.

I had the pleasure of hearing Steve Denning speak last week at the DoD KM conference about his new book, The Leader’s Guide to Radical Management: Re-Inventing the Workplace for the 21st Century which is being released shortly.  Here are the 7 principles he talked about, but you’ll want to hear his full presentation at KMWorld 2010 in DC on Tuesday November 16th:

1. Deliver more value to the customer sooner — delight them!

2. Use self organizing teams, empowered to make decisions.

3. Work in short cycles to reduce risk & increase agility.

4. Deliver value at the end of each short cycle.

5. Implement radical transparency where information is opening discussed (Steve has great examples of this!)

6. Continuous improvement through a context in which teams want to improve.

7. Interactive communication with conversations and story telling that create relatioships.

Make sure you put his appearance at KMWorld 2010 on your calendar.  Not to be missed!

I can’t say how excited I am that we are hosting this year’s KMWorld–of which Enterprise Search Summit is one of the co-located events–in Washington D.C. this year. And from the attendance numbers, so are search, information, and knowledge professionals from all over the world. We are multiples above last year’s numbers already and things have really started to pick up steam. 

While I feel confident that the location is a big factor–bringing this amazing combined event to a hub of the most savvy users on earth–I am also optimistic that the word has gotten out about our re-aligned approach to bringing four related events together in order to provide the most complete experience out there for those seeking to maximize their content, knowledge, and information infrastructure. While each event–KMWorld, Enterprise Search Summit, SharePoint Symposium, and Taxonomy Bootcamp are destination events in their own right, all feature session times that are on the same schedule, allowing Platinum Pass attendees to easily move between events and tracks to get a holistic experience offered by no other event.

Thank those who have already registered, and those about to do so, as well as our speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors for allowing us to get together and expand our knowledge.

Taxonomy Boot Camp is a very popular conference and this year is part of the KMWorld 2010, Nov 15-18 in Washington DC.  This boutique forum brings together those working with taxonomies, metadata, repositories and any  information requiring harnessing and organizing.   Participants come from libraries, corporate environments, government departments and professional services to gather, learn, network, and share creative ideas and insights.  Here’s a Wordle graphic depicting the topics of conversation for this year;s event.
