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:
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.

Well I hope you all had a great end of finacial year.
It seems to have been a busy time for all but now it is time to get back into the swing of things.
I am wanting to float an idea and would like to get peoples feedback and opinions.
I know there are a few members who will be attending the KM Australia conference in a couple of weeks. I am wanting to find out exactly who is going and work on having a post conference forum around sharing the highlights with the rest of the group.
So who is going and would this be a worthwhile activity?

To: qkm@... From: cory.banks@... Date: Sun, 20 May 2007 23:02:57 +0000 Subject: [qkm] Moving Forward
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would just like to bring you up to date with what we are looking to do with the QKM group moving forward.
As you would be aware Belinda Thompson has recently resigned as the Chairperson for the QKM Forum. I would again like to thank Belinda for all the work she has put in in keeping this group together and moving forward. We wish her the best of luck and look forward to seeing her contribute as a 'normal' member.
As you may also be aware I have taken ton the role of Chairperson. This all happened at a gathering of the steering committee on Friday. Where we have made the following decisions. I would like to sahre these with you and get any feedback or suggestions.
The Steering Committe will be disolved apart from the role of Chairperson (me). We would now like to invite any interested peopel to assist with coordinating Forum activities. Previous members are encouraged to apply. We are looking to have a steering committee of 5 (looking for 4 volunteers). We are not going to overly formalise this with an election. If we have more than 4 people hold their hand up, I will have a chat about their ideas and motivation and work out the best mix of roles and responsibilities. This could be used as a development/learning opportunity or an avenue to give something back to the group. Please contact me on cory.banks at gmail.com if you are interested.
For the last few years we have tended to have a low period between April and June. We are suggesting that we run with a shcedule of bimonthly gatherings (next in June) with smaller activities organised if and when they come up (Eg: KM Guru in town).
I have had an idea that I would also like to share with you and get a feel for your views.
After Fridays meeting a few of committee members were able to catch up over coffee and talk about what they are doing in thier roles. This was a fantastic sharing experience and somethign which I realised I am sorely missing out on. Talking with people who understand what you do and what you are trying to achive. I would like to give other people the opportunity to experience this. So here is what I am suggesting.
People volunteer to participate in a coffee catch up.
These are held with 3 or 4 members in the alternate month to forums or more frequently if it starts being popular.
There may be more than one group meeting at a time.
The group is randomly selected from volunteering participants and membership changes each time the catchups occur.
About a 1 hour duration.
A coordinator is randomly selected from the group and they are responsible for organising a time and place. We sill attempt to rotate this responsibility.
During the conversation people should discuss what they are doing and the challenges they are facing.
If the group comes across something very interesting that they beleive should be brought to the attention of the wider group, it can be raised online or at the next forum.
So what do you think and are you interested. If you want to volunteer for these mini KM Cafes then please contact me.
We will shortly be circulating the agenda for the remainder of the year. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks Cory Banks

Hi Cory,
Early morning or late afternoon/after 5pm meetings would suit me
better. Meetings being held in a more informal setting is a good idea
as long as the environment is not too noisy.
Regards
Denise
Hi Cory,
I'm also keen to participate. Meetings in the early morning and late
afternoon works well for me also. I'm particularly interested in
discussing knowledge sharing in the context of professional services
environments. Is there anyone else who may be interested in that
topic?
Regards,
Denise
Cory
I'd be keen to participate....breakfast or late afternoon would suit me best.

Subject: {Spam?} {Disarmed} [qkm] Cafe Catchups
Well so far only a couple of people have volunteered to participate in
the suggested Cafe Catchups.
Cafe Catchup: Group of 3-4 people agree to meet at a cafe to talk about
what they are doing at the moment related to KM. If the conversation
uncovers some learnings that should be shared then these can be posted
on the Forum list or discussed at the face-to-face Forum.
So I am again looking for anyone who wants to talk with KM peers about
the work we are doing and the challenges we face.
Please let me know if you are interested. If you are not interested
could you provide some feedback as to why this type of activity may not
suit your needs.
Thanks
Cory Banks
Hi Cory,
I am very keen to start this type of interaction. I htink the KM Cafe
Catchup is a superb opportunity to share in a smaller, often less
daunting,environment.
Sometimes it can be hard to get some airtime in a big group and when
there is a planned presentation I think we all relish the opportunity
for the networking which occurs over coffee in the breaks.
I work at South Bank and am more than willing to travel throughout
Brisbane to meet others at a Cafe Catchup. South Bank has some great
spots too!
Cheers
Chris
Are there others on the Sunshine Coast who would like to run a cafe up this way? If so, there are a number of things we are trying which may be of interest.

Good
afternoon all,
Just
a quick note to advise that I have resigned from the post of QKM Forum
Chairperson due to personal and work commitments. I would like to thank
all of you for your support over the past couple of years - I've learnt a
lot and have met some fantastic people during my journey. I'm
confident that in 2007/8 (and beyond) our new Chairperson (along with the
Steering Committee) will take the QKM Forum to a whole new level of operation.
And
now for the announcement...our new Chairperson is Cory Banks.
I'm
sure this will come as no surprise to most of you as Cory has been actively
involved in the Forum since its inception. Cory currently works for
Suncorp-Metway as their Specialist Knowledge Management in the Corporate
Projects Division and brings with him a wealth of experience. Please make
Cory feel welcome as he launches into the second half of 2007.
I
wish you all the best and will see you at one of the fantastic QKM Forum events
scheduled for 2007.

I know this is short notice but in the
past members of QKM have expressed interest in meeting / interacting with my KM
students. Next Tuesday (5-8pm in Z205) I am running a Living Case Study. My
guest will be Grant Leslie from Water Services Authority Association. He is
flying up from Sydney
to present this. He only agreed to this yesterday – that’s why the timing is
a bit tight.
As the semester end nears I run a couple
of living case studies where org representatives stand up in front of my class
and present a KM problem they are experiencing. I keep it fairly structured –
it goes like this:
1)Guest presents problem (20 mins)
2)Teams review their KM tools / techniques / frameworks and formulate
2 questions each for the presenter (15 minutes)
3)Q&A (2 questions max per team) 20-30 minutes
4)Teams prepare initial advice (20 mins)
5)Teams present 2-3 minutes their initial advice and suggestions for
further reading
6)Over the next week teams write up 3-4 pages on their advice
(assessable item) – wouldn’t expect the industry visitors to do this
So my invitation is to any industry KM
practitioners who would like to come and participate as a team – you can take
on my post-grad and under-grad students (several of whom are pretty sharp!) You
never know, you might pick up a trick or two.
These are very popular sessions with my
industry participants who in the past have included Cory (last year) from Suncorp;
Hewlett-Packard; BDO Kendalls; Qld
Dept of Transport; QUT International; McCormick Rankin Cagney; RTB Consulting
and a couple of others.
I can probably accommodate one team of
about 6-8 industry KM practitioners. If you are interested please drop me an
email.

Sorry for any cross-postings.
The brochure for KM Australia has been finalised and we have included
many new initiatives this year – one the most exciting ones is that we
will have Dave Snowden and Etienne Wenger discuss and debate across a
range of subjects in a full day interactive workshop.

workshop leaders in helping us make the choice. The survey ends 8
June 2007 and the people who will receive the complimentary will be
chosen on 15 June 2007.

Information Management Not Just for the Public Sector
It comes as no surprise in a knowledge economy that information
management
is critical for all organisations. Making the processes of
capturing and
managing information in the easiest way possible will reduces staff
resistance and increases the likelihood of a resource rich corporate
memory.
Join us on May 29, 2007 for an informal lunch with Anne Cornish of
Records
Solutions. Anne will share with us her views on how to manage your
information the easy way through the use of tools and processes and
will
consider the issues and possible solutions currently being
experienced by
all organisations when trying to manage information
