    Talk: Messy Coherence, the Reality of effective Knowledge Management

    Properly understood knowledge management should be about improving the quality of

    decision making and creating the conditions for innovation. In practice it has too often ended up as a technology

    driven programme of codification and formal interactions that bears little

    resemblance to the messy coherence of human interaction. This presentation will providea basic understanding of how humans make decisions, both individually and collectively as well as the nature of

    systems and how they evolve over time. Those insights from natural (not social) science will then be applied to

    knowledge management practice. A particular focus of the presentation will be on sense-making, defined as how

    do we make sense of the the world so we can act in it? With that question comes a key question of sufficiency,

    when do we know enough to act given that we will never have perfect knowledge. Using a broad range of cases

    the presentation will argue for the need to balance codified knowledge with modern forms of apprenticeship and

    as critically narrative forms of knowing. By focusing knowledge management on the needs to senior decision

    makers as well as day to day operations we can increase its relevance andapplicability.

    Workshop: Mapping Decisions, Mapping Knowledge

    Support for decision making at all levels of an organisation is a key goal of effective knowledge

    management. In this workshop participants will be introduced to a new technique for mapping the day to day

    decision making at both

    strategic and operational level. Decision mapping also creates flow model of information within the organisation

    and provides the basic components for creating a dynamic map of knowledge use within the organisation. These

    maps linked to decision needs provide a focus for early win knowledge projects with clear objectives that directly

    impact on known issues and problems. This approach shifts knowledge

    management from being a support operation to a strategic tool in the organisation, directly impacting on current

    issues and problems. Participants in the

    workshop will gain both practical tools and methods as well as a sound understanding of how to use knowledge

    to support management under conditions of uncertainty. It will show how to focus on creating a resilient and

    sustainable infrastructure to support knowledge flow within the organisation.

    Talk: Co-creation as a breakthrough approach in Knowledge Economy

    This presentation will address emerging models of co-creation, and how they can be used for product, service

    and experience creation. Co-creation will be compared and contrasted with collaborationcooperation andcrowdsourcing. Knowledge management makes contributions to organizational growth not just through

    internal knowledge sharing but external cross-industry knowledge flows as well.

    The following case-studies will be presented:

    1. Telecom industry: In order to compete successfully in Russian telecom market, government company

    Rostelecom (4 in the industry) initiated co-creation project. The project is very market focused and shows

    how co-creation using both KM and innovation approach influence on product development and sales.

    2. Legal industry: How to manage knowledge to reduce costs and deliver legal service to a client 24/7 within

    1 min? In this case study we will illustrate how the small legal company has developed from little firm withhundreds clients to a medium business with hundred thousand clients. All that happened with a help of good

    Knowledge Management, self-learning cloud system and special train courses for the lawyers and sales

    department. The company also learned how to deliver knowledge very fast on demand within 1 min and solve

    any situation client comes across. You will know the hints and tips and all key successful factors that led to the

    result.

    3. Finance industry: To compete well in constant changes the bank together with insurance company started

    KM project connected with collaboration and co-creation. Now they manage their relationship and

    knowledge within their suppliers and customers. They allow clients to influence on their product line. Withinsocial network lots of innovative products and different mobile application are developing together with their

    customers.

    Talk: Why effective Knowledge capture & retention matters: a case study

    Increased focus on cost containment and a drive for greater flexibility has resulted in many people relocating orretiring. There is a growing awareness that outgoing officials take more than just their presence; they take years

    of experience and the stories that have helped shape the organisations DNA; and they take their networks often

    the most valuable resource.

    Leaders often say after a crisis, we will learn lessons. Can those lessons be traced back to downsizing or failure

    to pass on knowledge of a process when relocating? How many people get hired back as consultants because

    of a burning platform issue and they have the knowledge on how to tackle it?

    This presentation will demonstrate how a major UK Government organisation set about:

    ensuring new joiners hit the ground running in the shortest time possible by equipping them with the rightknowledge and information

    transitioning staff into new roles so that when they are reassigned they have sufficient time and access to the

    right knowledge and information

    capturing experience and knowledge from staff coming up for retirement, whose job might be disappearing

    or who are leaving so that their knowledge (and networks) are not lost.

    Workshop: In Light of the New Lineaments of Global Knowledge-based Economy, How KM Fosters

    Innovation in New Organizations?

    In recent decades, the world witnessed enormous developments and changes in different fields and one of

    the most important changes is shifting towards knowledge economy. Knowledge is the basic production

    resource for the economy and this resource is more important than other material resources as knowledge

    has become a keynote factor in generating wealth and achieving welfare worldwide.

    Due to these developments in global economy which were reflected in the inputs and outputs of different

    organizations, it was necessary to have a similar development on management and administrative notion.

    Big data and knowledge come to the organization and, in return, the organization seeks to acquire these

    data and knowledge. Thus, an effective device that organizes, manages and administrates this essential

    resource is inevitable in order to enable the organization from innovation and precedence in competition

    and to last in a time where those that have more knowledge and utilize it properly only last.

    In this workshop, we will review some basic concepts for KM style and innovation and will explain the

    impacts and relationship between KM and innovation in new organizations. Well also demonstrate the

    increasing role of KM in enabling new organizations from development, growth, lasting and continuity in

    the world of business.

    Talk: Fostering Innovation-driven Entrepreneurship in Middle East

    Case Study: Arab Science and Technology Foundation

    What if Arab countries were producing as many fast-growing, innovative companies as the United States, with

    the same level of global impact? If Arab countries were registering as many patents linked to emerging technolo-

    gies as Chinese individuals and companies? If the culture of entrepreneurship in Arab countries were as robust

    and ambitious as: that of Israel? What impact would this have on Arab countries economy and society?

    in this Keynote we will present, the answer of these questions, the challenge of lagging Arab countries perfor-

    mance with regard to the regions innovation capabilities, the conditions for scalable entrepreneurship, And how

    we in this part of the world can overcome these challenges, so the Arab countries would be attracting top talentfrom all over the world, even drawing the best minds from Silicon Valley. And, perhaps most importantly, Arab

    country would be a significant source of jobs in future-oriented sectors, helping and inspiring jobseekers to

    constantly upgrade their skills to take part in the next Arab success story.

    Arab Science and Technology Foundation will be presented as case study, on how to contribute to Arab compet-

    itiveness and growth by encouraging a robust environment of ambitious, serial entrepreneurs who envisage,

    create and scale innovation-driven ventures.

    Workshop: Unlocking the true value of Knowledge Management: identifying and assessing your organ-

    isations Knowledge Assets

    We have SharePoint, we already do Knowledge Management is a phrase often spoken by senior management

    when describing their organisations KM activity. And while the practice of collecting and storing what an

    organisation writes down is important for effective

    information and records management it overlooks the true value contained in an organisations Knowledge

    Assets.

    Todays knowledge worker faces a challenge conducting an assessment (audit) of their Knowledge Assets. Theemergence of social tools, alongside intranets, electronic document and records management systems, and

    transactional legacy systems, not to mention a continued reliance on email for communication and storage

    makes it difficult to identify what an organisation knows, who knows it, and where its kept.

    This workshop will demonstrate how to:

    scope a knowledge assessment (audit) and identify key stakeholders;

    conduct a knowledge assessment and map the organizations key knowledge assets;

    compile a diagnostic report with recommendations; use techniques for getting stakeholder engagement throughout the process; and

    benchmark the results and set up a framework for ongoing measurement.

    It will draw on assignments conducted by Paul J Corney in Asia, Caribbean and The Middle East.

    Talk: Leadership, Learning and Knowledge Management

    Harnessing knowledge remains critical for workforce competitiveness and organizational success, as complexity and

    unpredictability engulf organisations. If as leaders, manager and workers, we do not know what we know, if we do not know

    what we do not know and/or if we think we know all there is to know, chances are we will not be able to compete effectively.

    Success in knowledge management (KM) was traditionally about systems, technologies and platforms. Today, KM is

    everybodys problem but no ones direct responsibility. A closer study of KM suggests that it is increasingly about getting the

    balance right in structural and behavioral changes within organisations. Today, KM must work in concert with leadership

    learning, and growth strategies. Tomorrow KM will be about sustainable organizational development (OD).

    This presentation will walk the audience through why effective KM requires re-balancing leadership and learning within

    organisations, and how these relate to the ancient Aristotelian philosophy of Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Originally posited as a

    frame for argumentation, the intellectual, emotional and physical aspects that concern knowledge creation, transfer and

    integration are examined. Often the end result of effective KM is in observations, insights and lessons learnt. Deductive and

    inductive reasoning involves making an effective, persuasive reason to back up ones claims. Seeking and giving reasons is the

    heart of argumentation, and the heart of change in organisations.

    This presentation will conclude with the argument that KM is part of Organisational Development, as are leadership and

    learning.

    Workshop: Harnessing the Power of Organisational Storytelling

    We work in hierarchical organisations. Depending on which part of the world or country our organization is based, and operates

    in, there are values and beliefs that management and workers hold as important. There are also deep experiences, observations

    and expectations that our employees accumulate that are valuable to the organization. Most times these go untapped for many

    reasons.

    These cultural and hierarchical aspects combine to create difficulties for many of us at work, as we often find ourselves

    struggling to communicate what we know, and surface what we do not know, better. As many organisations grapple with how

    to create, transfer and integrate knowledge better among workers, organisational storytelling is becoming increasingly popular

    as a Next KM practice. This day workshop will surface its potency, and its possibilities for us as learning professionals

    HR managers and/or knowledge practitioners, as to how we can utilize story building and storytelling techniques to share what

    we know, and seek what we do not know, as we design the knowledge spaces in our work environment.

    Participants in this hands - on workshop will be introduced to the 251 and the STOP organizational storytelling , models

    created by the presenter. Two articles explaining these models will also be provided.
