My personal Knowtech 2010 Agenda

I browsed through the knowtech programme and designed my personal agenda:

First day:

1. I definitely will listen to the key note by Peter Kruse because I like his talks and his energy. He wrote a good book on managing in the knowledge society and has a funny video about avoiding the learning organization on youtube (in german).
2. I am also looking forward to Erik Haendeler's keynote on the knowledge society. I like his idea on the knowledge society being the 6th kondratiev wave.
3. David Gurteen will talk about "Future Trends in KM". For a video series will will start in Q4 this year I will do a ten minute video interview with him about his ebook "10 years in KM" which can be accessed freely on scribd.
4. Bernhard von Mutius has a talk on "The other way of thinking". I like the title because that is where our companie's name comes from: COGnoscere (latin: thinking) and NEON (greek: new).
5. Prof. Andrea Back from University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) is giving a talk about maturity models in collaboration 2.0 adoption. I want to talk with her about the great work she does on cultural aspects of groupware implementation (esp. SharePoint) in organizations (see presentation on slideshare).
6. I also will listen to Antje Stobbe from Deutsche Bank Research about Web 2.0 adoption. DB Reasearch published a nice report on enterprise 2.0 benefits last week.
7. Michael Schomisch will talk about 10 years of KM in the consulting companies he works (Detecon) which will be interesting becaus they are about to implement a cool lessons learned/organizational learning process.
8. Christine Krämer and Tobias Kunz will talk about enterprise 2.0 adoption at Lufthansa. A platform eTeaming was implemented in addition to the existing intranet eBase (based on SAP Netweaver). I am intrested in that talk because eTeaming is based on Jive and some of our clients are thinking about using Jive as social network (and I am a supporter of drupal commons which has quite the same feature set as jive but a lower price - we will use it in the relaunch of cogneon.de next year :)
9. Markus Junginger and Martin Kimmich have a presentation about the km approach at festo. I like that approach because it is very much based on tools AND culture. Martin was part of the km team at Audi when we started to work with Audi back in the 90s (you can find a chapter on the first approach in the book "Corporate Knowledge" - history :)
10. I am very interested in the stroy of Andreas Brandner. He runs KM Austria and has a lot of interesting projects going on mainly in the public sector (e.g. a conference on knowledge politics and the vienna knowledge space).
11. Stefan Prasse (VDMA) and Karlheinz Lindner (VDMA, Schaeffler) will talk about "KM, Marketing and Web 2.0). I am interested in how the approach evolved since I gave a talk at VDMA back in 2009.

Second day:

1. Manfred Bornemann, Ulrich Schmidt and Kay Alwert present about km being an integral part of corporate reporting. I strongly support that because controlling and reporting has to be adopted to knowledge society requirements as well.
2. Manfred Langen from Siemens will reflect on "from tagging to leightweight ontologies". I already listened to that approach at I-Know (day 1, corporate tagging framework) in Graz and look forward to learn about it from another perspective.
3. A bunch or E2.0-experts and -practitioners (Alexander Richter, Stefan Smolnik, Nils Urbach, Philip Räth, Michael Koch, Andrea Back) will give a presentation on "Enterprise 2.0 Case Studies. I hope they will present some cases from e20cases.org but also new stuff.
4. Doris Krueger-Roth will present the learning region approach in Metropolregion Frankfurt-Rhein-Main. I am interested in that becaus we have several projects in the field of learning regions and cities (e.g. regiolog.com regional community development) and knowledge clusters (e.g. Medical Valley) as well.
5. Dirk Klimkeit from Ernst and Young will talk about "The Cube" at EY.
6. Bernd Blumoser from Siemens will talk about internal crowdsourcing communities. I will go there because CS, open innovation, lead user approach and radical innovation are hot topics in a lot of our client's km agendas.

Our cases at knowtech 2010:

1. Hans-Georg Schnauffer (ThyssenKrupp) and my colleaque Marc Nitschke will talk about "Gaining potential with Communities of Experts (CoE) - Cultivation of Communities on cross-disciplinary topics".
2. I will present together with Nataljia Angsmann (Audi) on "The Audi wikinet - The Wiki Method at a German Automotive OEM".
3. Our client Heinz Erretkams (Johnson Controls) will present together Inga Loeh on "Getting Things Done by agile knowledge worker teams". We work with Johnson Controls since 2002 and I presented with Inga on the role of personal mission and vision statements for personal knowledge management in Graz (we will publish the slides in the next weeks).
