A brief overview of social web trends that we can anticipate taking up increasing air-space over the next 12 months. Some trends (e.g. Big Data) have wider implications than 'social web' but are included for completeness.
Information Management: Evolution or Revolution?Collabor8now Ltd
What is the future for the Information Professional? 'Big Data', open data, linked data, data visualisation, social technology. Data and information is coming at us from all directions and in a variety of formats. Are we managing all of this, or is it managing us? This presentation is a small peak at a huge topic and gives maybe a broad perspective of the (information) changes happening around us.
Avoiding "Ready. Fire. Aim!" with a Mobile Learning StrategyChristopher King
Is mobile learning really the future, or is it just another "the classroom is dead" hype cycle? Are you on track to add real value by rethinking learning activities from a mobile perspective? What does a mobile learning strategy include? Can you even define "mobile learning?" Attend this session to examine your organization's readiness for mobile learning; evaluate content suitable for "m-Learning;" consider a strategic framework for mobile; and discuss how to build a business case. This session is suitable for both those just getting started with mobile learning, and those looking for help explaining "why mobile learning?"

Energy and Climate – Dynamic Decision Tool Catalog and Community of Practice: Current implementations, Gap AnalysisOpen EI and energy.data.gov, Robert Bectel, DOE
A panoply of data, models, visualizations, analyses, software and decision tools of all sort exist across the –Verse. The problem is that many of these are not accessible, transparent, “open”, distributable, mobile, location aware, up-to-date, or even licensed for use outside of their single use development environment. Developers of these solutions, whether they are a Government Agency, NGO, or other interested group insist on building their solution within their zone of control with visibility and access available only through their single destination site.
OpenEI.org is an open source wiki media platform that leverages crowd sourcing to build an ecosystem for the transmission, storage, analysis and distribution of energy data and information. The system provides mapping and other visualization tools to transform that raw data into understanding.
By building an open, crowd sourced catalog of highly interactive resources and an engaged community of solution providers, OpenEI and Data.gov bring powerful distribution engines for use by anyone. Capable of connecting to virtually any data or Content source and conveying that access to other destinations, they transform understanding and access to knowledge and resources which otherwise would be inaccessible or at best diffused across the –Verse in such a way as to be nearly impossible to find.
This interactive conversation will focus on why we need to build open source, transparent and highly distributable solution sets; What value we can derive from the use of distribution accelerators like OpenEI and Data.Gov and; What the continued development of single destination sites based on the outdated theory of “If I build it they will come” means for those individuals, groups or Agencies attempting to assess the risks associated with energy related projects.
AI and robotics are facilitating the automation of a growing number of “doing” tasks. Today’s AI-enabled, information-rich tools are increasingly able to handle jobs that in the past have been exclusively done by people, for example, tax returns, language translations, accounting, even some types of surgery. It has been reported that about 60 percent of all occupations have at least 30 percent of activities that are technically automatable, based on currently demonstrated technologies. This means that most occupations will change, and more people will have to work with technology.
A top-down look at current industry and technology trends for Big Data, Data Analytics and Machine Learning (cognitive technologies, AI etc.). New slides added for Ark Group presentation on 1st December 2016.
Content Curation Primer For Information ProfessionalsCollabor8now Ltd
Online publishing is now ubiquitous and incessant, with the consequence that we’re often overwhelmed with raw, unfiltered, context-free information. This is fuelling a demand for new content organisation and consumption methods in order to find meaningful and relevant information in these fast-moving data flows. Relevant and decision-ready information is becoming a valuable commodity in its own right, and many organisations are beginning to appreciate the roles and skills of people who understand the specific information needs of their information consumers and can provide it in a timely and effective manner.
The answer to these needs lies in the disciplines, competencies and skills of content curation. Effective curation requires technology and tools to find, filter and validate content at the speed of the real-time web. It requires knowledge domain experts who can interpret and add insight to the content they are harvesting. It needs people who can utilise the power of networks and networking to source relevant and reliable information. These are the emergent skills of the 21st Century knowledge worker.
This master class will explore the emerging role of the “Content Curator” and how it relates to the information profession.
Gamification - making work fun, or making fun of work?Collabor8now Ltd
Gamification is about understanding and influencing human behaviours in order to achieve a specific outcome. Gamification seeks to take enjoyable aspects of games - fun, play and challenge - and apply them to real-world business processes. Analysts are predicting massive growth of gamification over the next few years, but the jury is still out on whether there is any substance or evidence to back up some of the benefits being touted. This webinar will address the following questions:
Does gamification have a place as an effective business change agent?
Can gamification encourage more effective knowledge sharing behaviours and better employee engagement within and across the (your) organisation?
Organisations continue to search for the silver bullet that will deliver improved employee and customer engagement, facilitate more effective collaboration and drive innovation. Is "gamification" the answer, or is it just one more over-hyped and fashionable trend that promises much but delivers little? Gamification has indeed bubbled to the top of the Gartner hype cycle, but there is growing evidence that it is an effective business improvement change agent, with industry growth rates predicted to be 67% p.a. and a market worth £3.4 billion by 2018.
Gamification is about much more than simply rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviours companies want to encourage among their employees and customers. Gamification is founded in the fundamentals of human psychology and behavioural science, and rests on three primary factors: motivation, ability level and triggers.
This session looks at some of the gamification strategies and techniques being used to influence behaviour change, and how these techniques can be used to facilitate more effective collaboration and employee/customer engagement.
A presentation for the Managing Partners’ Forum. Separating the needs of the individual and those of then organisation has always been an issue for KM and Learning. At times these needs align, sometimes they need to be reconciled and at other times they diverge, particularly when an individual moves to another organisation. The presentation looks specifically at the changing nature of organisations and the emergent power of networks and networking. Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is a competence we must all learn in order to remain relevant to our organisation. But who ultimately “owns” the ‘corporate’ knowledge that we gather through the workplace networks we nurture and sustain, and do the organisations we work for even recognise the importance of these networks as places for continual learning, knowledge sharing and incubators for innovation?
Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge OrganisationCollabor8now Ltd
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, “social” will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with “experts” and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of silo’d structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.
In order to improve personal and organizational knowledge, people have to take time to make sense of the information torrent. If not, it remains merely information. Unfortunately, many of today’s knowledge workers don’t have the time, discipline or the essential skills to select, filter, evaluate and comprehend their multifarious information sources. This can lead to missed opportunities, poor decision-making and suboptimal performance. The 21st century knowledge worker needs to be confident and comfortable with using social technologies and engaging with communities and social learning networks to update his or her knowledge in order to remain relevant. This session explores some of the tools, skills and processes that can help with information sense-making, and looks at the emergent roles of the Community Manager and Digital Curator in delivering value to learning networks.
What is "Personal Knowledge Management" and what skills, tools and literacies do I need to ensure I remain relevant in today's fast-moving and sometimes chaotic environment,
Demonstrating value with Communities Of PracticeCollabor8now Ltd
How do you demonstrate or even measure the value of collaboration and knowledge sharing? This presentation is based on over 7 years experience gained implementing on-line communities for the UK public sector.
If people are given the right tools and the right environment, will hey spontaneously collaborate and share knowledge? Why do some people find it difficult to share and collaborate? Would incentives and rewards make a difference? These and similar issues are explored in this presentation given at the recent Knowledge and Innovation Network (KIN) Summer Workshop.
Everyone is talking about “Social Business” – but what does it mean and is it just the latest fad? Greater customer satisfaction, more innovation, faster access to knowledge; agile processes delivered via a people-centred organisation. These are just some of the benefits being tantalising promised by the advocates. Why wouldn’t every organisation flock to this vision of an agile, connected, transparent, people-centred and more efficient business?
Hesitation is natural but every day counts in a world where social technology trends develop over weeks. Those at the forefront will gain most. There is only so long a business can wait before it is left behind. Competitors and customers will move on. Attracting new talent will become more difficult; employees become moribund.
So maybe doing nothing is the new business risk?
New Paradigms For Collaboration & Knowledge SharingCollabor8now Ltd
The world of social interaction, fuelled by the plethora of social media tools, has opened up new opportunities to learn and share. Classroom training is no longer an essential part of learning and development. We can now tap into the collective wisdom of peers and experts as and when we need. Skilling ourselves for a challenging and volatile environment is a personal responsibility - we can't rely on others, including the people/organisations we work for.
This session will explore the scope for transforming collaboration and knowledge-sharing between public sector workers in different organizations. It will take as its starting point the lesson's learnt from the UK's local government community of practice platform, currently the world's largest network for public sector professionals. Moving on to describe the Knowledge Hub, the "next generation" Enterprise Social Software platform, providing many new features, and enabling far better permeability between government communities and external (Web 2.0) social networks and web services. Delegates will gain insights into the contribution that online communities can make in the public sector, and will discuss the barriers to effective collaboration and the best ways to overcome them
An overview and status update on the Knowledge Hub project, being delivered by PFI Knowledge Solutions for the Local Government Group. Knowledge Hub is an open source learning and sharing environment. Developed initially for the UK public sector it is a powerful and flexible Enterprise 2.0/Web 2.0 platform that can be easily re-purposed for any vertical industry sector.
The 21st century knowledge and information professionalCollabor8now Ltd
The volume of information continues to grow at an exponential rate; new tools, products and web services appear almost daily. Despite the recession, nothing seems to stem the tide of innovation. If anything, the economic climate has enabled companies to be even more radical in the way they create and use information. These are challenging times for the knowledge and information professional. We all need to be able to work smarter, acquiring and developing the skills to become more effective knowledge and information workers.
No matter how good the technology, it won't guarantee you a successful on-line community. You need effective facilitation to build and nurture the community. The presentation describes the role and responsibilities of a community facilitator, and is a reminder that when implementing the technology - batteries are not included!

Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.

Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

25. To Summarise (1)
• Social Media is ubiquitous. More businesses are adding social media links
and information to their websites; consumers now look for these links.
Visiting a company's Facebook page or Twitter profile has become as
important as reading reviews on the business.
• Facebook will have 1 billion users by end 2012 and will continue to dominate
the social network space. More apps and integration with external services
will encourage shift from conversations to sharing and engagement = users
spend more time on site.
• Rapid growth of companies/services offering new and interesting ways for
people to share information (e.g. Tumblr, Pinterest)
• Help with content overload. More apps and services providing knowledge
and information curation, aggregation and filtering.
• Apps will inherit the earth! Users more familiar (and trusting) of software
distribution channels (app stores). Users happy to discard old/legacy apps
and download new ones that meet changing needs and requirements.
26. To Summarise (2)
• Gami-ificaton techniques will find their way into more social networks and
corporate websites in order to engage and retain users/customers.
• Augmented reality apps will offer an awesome user experience. Location-
based services will thrive and provide new, more compelling, more efficient
services with lower B2C transaction costs. Privacy issues will deter some
users.
• More opportunities for micro-entrepreneurs. Peer to peer on the rise; more
lending, sharing, bartering and recycling opportunities offered via
‘Collaborative Consumption”.
• We re going to continue to generate data faster than it can be consumed or
understood. Most of it will not be held inside the enterprise. Information
visualisation techniques and intelligent analytics will aid user s
interpretation and understanding. Opportunities and challenges for
knowledge & information professionals.
• Mobile platforms will soon overtake the desktop PC as the preferred
interface to the Internet and www. Software being designed for mobile, with
consideration for PC, not the other way around.
27. And finally….

survives, nor the most intelligent that
survives. It is the one that is most
adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin
