Wikis can be used in education to facilitate collaborative learning between students. Students are assessed both on their individual work and how well they link their topics to other students' work, rewarding knowledge sharing over hoarding. Key outcomes include professionals who understand relationship building, networking, and leveraging others' expertise. Wikis also allow students to actively learn together across disciplines and collectively build knowledge from multiple sources. Administration of courses using wikis is simpler, with assessment and feedback embedded in the online platform.
This document summarizes a workshop on business-IT fusion. It introduces the presenters and their backgrounds, then discusses the traditional disconnect between business and IT. It frames alignment and fusion as ways to bridge this gap. Fusion is defined as a merging of business and IT elements into a unified whole.
The workshop agenda is then outlined. Participants are asked to consider key outcomes from the perspectives of different roles in a fusion initiative. A business-IT fusion framework is presented, consisting of constancy of purpose, a shared world view, and adapting to change. Groups then discuss desired outcomes from their assigned roles after 18 months of a fusion program.
This document provides an agenda for the actKM 2012 conference taking place on October 23-24, 2012 at the University of Canberra. The conference will focus on the theme of "Connecting Knowledge - building the knowledge-centric organisation" and will include keynote speeches, presentations, and networking opportunities on topics related to knowledge management, collaboration, social media, and building connected organizations. Sponsor and committee information is also provided.
The document presents a conceptual framework for integrating data mining within a strategic knowledge management approach to create sustainable competitive advantage in the Australian mining sector. The framework combines the benefits of data mining techniques for identifying patterns and relationships in large databases with a strategic KM framework. It is proposed that incorporating different strategic perspectives into company strategies and operational plans could optimize business performance and increase knowledge capabilities to better solve complex, unstructured problems in mining. Next steps discussed include validating the framework through case studies with mining organizations in Western Australia and developing an inventory of data mining and KM processes based on the results.
The document discusses a community campaign to save a threatened local emergency department. An integrated suite of collaborative social media tools was developed using mobile and cloud technologies to share information about the campaign. These included Twitter, Hootsuite, Facebook, WordPress blog and pages, Skype, YouTube/Vimeo. The tools helped engage the community, media and politicians. The campaign made progress in documenting its efforts and exposing team members to useful social media strategies, though the outcome of saving the emergency department was still pending.
The Knowledge Bucket: Practicing what we preachactkm
Hear about the purpose and focus of the Knowledge Bucket, an open source project to develop a body of knowledge on Knowledge Management. Presented at the 2011 actKM conference in Melbourne by Cory Banks.
Keynote presentation by Phillip Ruthven from IBISWorld Pty Ltd giving his thoughts and perspectives on what keeps CEOs awake at night. 2011 actKM Conference. Melbourne, Australia. 10 October 2011.
This document discusses the shift to a social knowledge economy where sharing and collaboration of knowledge on digital platforms is important. It defines social knowledge as continuous dialogue and content sharing between people and organizations on open connected platforms. The importance of connecting people with relevant content is explained, as people are more likely to engage with and find information from their social networks than other sources. Strategies for companies to engage in this new economy are provided, including curating relevant content from sources and sharing it on social media at optimal times. A business card draw for a free content curation service is offered.

This document provides an overview of a workshop on decision making that seeks to introduce and compare the work of Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Kahneman, explore how knowledge is used in rapid cognition, and generate ideas to improve organizational decision making. It outlines Gladwell and Kahneman's research on fast and slow thinking as well as Gary Klein's work on naturalistic decision making. The document also discusses biases, heuristics, and conditions that influence decision quality. Tools, models, and strategies for decision making are presented along with examples of good and bad decisions.
This document summarizes a presentation on using animal metaphors to enhance collaboration. It discusses three key conversations: 1) defining appropriate collaborative behaviors, 2) comparing definitions and perspectives, and 3) committing to actions to improve collaboration. Participants defined expected, desired, tolerated and rejected behaviors for zoo animals and discussed how behaviors contribute positively or negatively to collaboration. The goal is to stimulate constructive conversations to enhance collaboration in the workplace.
The document discusses knowledge management (KM) education and outlines three key conversations: 1) What KM education is currently available, 2) Whether the current approach is optimal, and 3) How the KM community can influence and improve KM education. It provides an example of one university's KM course and encourages participants in the actKM conference to consider getting involved in shaping KM education. The presentation concludes by promoting the speaker's behavioral profiling and consulting services.
1) The documents discuss various metrics for analyzing social networks, including degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and eigenvector centrality.
2) Degree centrality measures how active individuals are based on the number of direct connections they have. Closeness centrality measures an individual's average distance to all others in the network. Betweenness centrality identifies people who connect disparate groups. Eigenvector centrality measures how well connected one is to highly connected individuals.
3) The documents provide examples of how these network analysis metrics can be applied to understand roles, influence, and dynamics within organizations.
This document outlines the key components of a knowledge management system, including strategy, actors, infrastructure, functionality, delivery, knowledge sources, and continuous improvement. It discusses high-level aspects such as objectives, policies, culture, facilities, software, accessibility, and feedback that are important for effectively designing, implementing, and maintaining a knowledge management system.
