Subject: [qkm] Social Network Analysis of QKM

I have recently been able to get use of a new Social Network Analysis (SNA) online package from Optimice for a couple of months (free). (http://www.onasurveys.com)

I thought it would be a nice practical exercise for those who want to learn how to do an SNA (me included), that we could do it on ourselves as a network of KM practitioners.

Those who would be interested in participating in this learning activity please let me know?

Anyone expereinced SNA gurus that would like to show us the way?

Thanks

Cory

Hi Group,

The ACS KM-Forum turned out very well.  For those of you who missed it, you
missed out on a wonderful, entertaining, and thought-provoking presentation.

With some two-&-a-half dozen people showing up, we will definitely be going
ahead with the KM Special Interest Group (although we still yet do not have
a confirmed sponsor).  Our next get-together is scheduled for late November
- I'll post here the exact date when finalised, and the ACS website will
have the details as well.

Hope to se you all then.

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank everyone here who has spent time to complete my
survey on Knowledge Management Capability based Competitive Advantage
of the Firm. If you sent me an email to request a summary of the key
findings, you will definitely get them right after they are available.

If you have not had a chance to take the survey, please follow the
web link below:

http://www.scu.edu.au/websurvey/public/survey.php?
name=KMC_based_CA_Survey_QKMF

Your participation would be much appreciated. For any information,
please let me know. Thank you once again and I do look forward to
your assistance.

Best regards,

With the rapid spread of collaboration tools such as SharePoint, the
opportunity for new approaches to intranets and information management
are being explored. More immediately, organisations are confronted
with the fundamental question: where do collaboration tools fit in?

Are they a replacement for intranets and document management systems,
or do they sit alongside? Where should initial projects be focused?

This industry briefing provides simple but effective models for
answering these questions, as well as helping to target collaboration
efforts for greatest impact.

Run by Step Two Designs, and presented by James Robertson, this
session will give you the latest thinking on how to make collaboration
work in your organisation.

The next session is to be run in Brisbane, as follows:

Date: Wednesday 12 September 2007
Venue: Rydges South Bank, Brisbane
Times: 2.00pm to 3.30pm, refreshments from 3.30pm
Price: $100.00 (free for members of the Intranet Leadership Forum)

Full event details:
http://www.steptwo.com.au/seminars/070912/index.html

PS. we're also running this event in Sydney and Melbourne later
in the year...

Intranets are now a business critical part of the organisation
landscape. As intranet teams the challenge is to ensure that your
intranet is effective for your organisation.

Step Two Designs Brisbane office is holding an informal get-together
over breakfast for Brisbane intranet managers.

Date: Tuesday, 4 September 2007
Time: 7.30am
Place: Brisbane inner city cafe (exact location to be advised
depending on numbers)

So if you would like to meet other intranet managers and find out
about the first workshop for the Intranet Leadership Forum in Brisbane
(October 2007) please send me an email.

Kind regards
Rebecca

OK I have put a recurring appointment in the calendar for a morning coffee on the 4th Thursday of each month.

Reminders will go out 1 week and also 3 days prior to the event.

For the moment I have left the venue the same.

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.

Good morning,

I hope everyone has had a good break over the weekend and is ready and raring on this rainy Brisbane Monday morning.

Just a bit of house keeping for the group. We are all able to sign up to this group with Yahoo! accounts but we do not necessarily have a list of who belongs to the group and what they do.

We have created a contact list in the database area of the site (http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/qkm/database) and would like for people to add their details.

There is a restriction on the use of this contact list. Anyone found to have used this list for promotional or soliciting purposes will find their access to the group removed. If you cannot participate with such a restriction then I suggest you move along.

If you are contacted by people for promotional purposes, who obtained your details from this list, please let me know (cory.banks@...).

So feel free to share your details so we know who's who in the zoo.

Thanks

Cory Banks

I would also like to attend.

Hi everyone,

KM Australia 2007, Knowledge, Discovery and Collaboration has come and gone and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated and became involved with its success.

As you may know, this year we conducted a survey and talked with past attendees to find out what they would want out this year's KM event.  We created more room within the exhibition area itself, we provided a table format to allow for more interaction, rather than the standard theatre style, plus we tried something new with the KM Arena (a networking forum) and this proved to be a great success.

As with everything, when we tried to provide for something, another concern came up.  The sound at the event wasn't the best a certain times and we tried to mend that on Day Two, but the venue doesn't really allow for it.

There have been some good conversations taking place in the blogosphere and some are sharing some slides from KM Australia 2007:

Dave Snowden's blog: http://www.cognitive-edge.com/2007/07/anticipation.php#comments

Chris Fletcher's blog: http://adventurekm.typepad.com/adventures_in_knowledge/2007/07/km-australia.html

Brad Hinton's blog: http://bradhinton.wordpress.com/

Keith De La Rue's blog: http://delarue.net/blog/2007/07/

Stay posted, as we will be publishing some interesting statistics on the event, plus we will be asking all of you where we can improve upon next year; change of venue / change of direction of event(more technology or less) / location(would Melbourne be a good change – but would it affect whether or not you attend)

Thank you again for all of your support and please visit www.arkgroupaustralia.com.au for all of our other upcoming events, plus go to www.kmasia.com which is being held in Singapore, 29 -31 October 2007.  If you are an attendee to this KM Australia 2007 and want to attend KM Asia 2007 – please let us know, and we can work out a special price for you.
