COMPETE ON KNOWLEDGE – NOT JUST NOW BUT FOR YEARS TO COME !
From big data to smart machines , the latest technology tsunami has major implications for knowledge workers and the KM programs that support them .
Superior data about the world around us , combined with powerful systems to sift through and make sense of that data , open the door to improve information delivery , automate routine tasks , and enhance access to expertise and insights . At the same time , the latest mobile and collaboration tools are making it easier for us to work from anywhere while interacting with peers across the globe . With these new capabilities come cultural shifts in terms of when and where we work , how we define expertise and workplace relationships , and the boundaries between our jobs and the rest of our lives .
But there ’ s also a dark side to all of this . We don ’ t yet know the unintended consequences of the new technologies , and we aren ’ t sure whether people are prepared to change how they gather information , exchange ideas , and make decisions . Many organizations are still struggling to conduct effective virtual meetings , much less embrace augmented reality or help employees build trusted relationships in the virtual realm . And even if these hurdles are overcome , firms still need to tackle the privacy and security risks and figure out how to pay for it all .
APQC ’ s 2017 KM Conference is a chance to explore the changes that are coming and how they will affect enterprise knowledge strategies , assets , and processes . This isn ’ t just about cool new tools , but the big-picture trends that will transform how people interact and work gets done .
As the longest running knowledge management conference , we understand that attendees need LESS theory and MORE strategy and execution . This 5-day event is packed with pre-conference workshops , keynote and breakout presentations , and working sessions that will give you the tools needed to empower knowledge workers and compete on knowledge , not just now but in the years to come .
