Not Your Typical Information Overload Presentation
Please join us for our November meeting as Craig Roth will share with us, "Not Your Typical Information Overload Presentation."
It is not difficult to find confirmation that there is “too much information”. Declaring “e-mail bankruptcy” is the new fad. Meanwhile others pooh-pooh the “information overload” crowd as a bunch of hand-wringing complainers who haven’t adjusted to new technology yet. There’s no “right” answer in the debate between those that believe information overload will soon cause the heads of information workers will begin to pop like popcorn as they slump over in their fuzzy cubicles and those that believe we’re just adapting to the new flow. Instead, this presentation will find a way around “information overload” to a more actionable approach: enterprise attention management (EAM). EAM focuses on how enterprises can help information workers to pull the important messages forward and push the less important messages back. Whether you see information overload as a crisis or just one more thing people are adapting to, improving efficiency is something everyone should be able to get behind.
Craig Roth is the Collaboration and Content Strategies Service Director for the Burton Group (www.burtongroup.com).
Please note: The downtown Chicago meeting location has changed. We will be meeting in the YMCA offices at 101 North Wacker, 13th floor.

August Meeting: 7 Principles of Knowledge Management
Tuesday, August 11th: 5:30pmFor location details, see right-hand column. Please note, there will be no meeting at Allstate for this event.
Dave Snowden will join us downtown to lead a discussion on his “7 Principles of Knowledge Management,” summarized below:
- Knowledge can only be volunteered it cannot be conscripted. You can’t make someone share their knowledge, because you can never measure if they have. You can measure information transfer or process compliance, but not knowledge.
- We only know what we know when we need to know it. Human knowledge is deeply contextual and requires stimulus for recall. Unlike computers we do not have a list-all function. Small verbal or nonverbal clues can provide those ah-ha moments when a memory or series of memories are suddenly recalled, in context to enable us to act.
- In the context of real need few people will withhold their knowledge. A genuine request for help is not often refused unless there is literally no time or a previous history of distrust. On the other hand ask people to codify all that they know in advance of a contextual enquiry and it will be refused (in practice it’s impossible anyway). Linking and connecting people is more important than storing their artifacts.
- Everything is fragmented. We evolved to handle unstructured fragmented fine granularity information objects, not highly structured documents. People will spend hours on the internet, or in casual conversation without any incentive or pressure. However creating and using structured documents requires considerably more effort and time. Our brains evolved to handle fragmented patterns not information.
- Tolerated failure imprints learning better than success. When my young son burnt his finger on a match he learnt more about the dangers of fire than any amount of parental instruction cold provide. All human cultures have developed forms that allow stories of failure to spread without attribution of blame. Avoidance of failure has greater evolutionary advantage than imitation of success. It follows that attempting to impose best practice systems is flying in the face of over a hundred thousand years of evolution that says it is a bad thing.
- The way we know things is not the way we report we know things. There is an increasing body of research data which indicates that in the practice of knowledge people use heuristics, past pattern matching and extrapolation to make decisions, coupled with complex blending of ideas and experiences that takes place in nanoseconds. Asked to describe how they made a decision after the event they will tend to provide a more structured process oriented approach which does not match reality. This has major consequences for knowledge management practice.
- We always know more than we can say, and we will always say more than we can write down. This is probably the most important. The process of taking things from our heads, to our mouths (speaking it) to our hands (writing it down) involves loss of content and context. It is always less than it could have been as it is increasingly codified.
He is currently leading a series of experimental programmes to create a new approach to measuring impact in public services, in the areas of health, education and social policy. This has involved the design of a new research tool to capture qualitative and quantitative data in social contexts using self-signifed narrative, based on ethnographic principles. This is currently in pilot with the UK Government, the Government of Singapore together with a major hospital in New York and various Indigenous projects in Australia.
He previously worked for IBM where he was a Director of the Institution for Knowledge Management and founded the Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity; during that period he was selected by IBM as one of six “on-demand” thinkers for a world wide advertising campaign. Prior to that he worked in a range of strategic and management roles in the service sector.
His company Cognitive Edge exists to integrate academic thinking with practice in organisations throughout the world and operates on a network model working with Academics, Government, Commercial Organisations, NGOs and Independent Consultants.

Taxonomies and Web 2.0
Upcoming KM Chicago Presentation for April 14, 2009 by Marjorie HlavaFor location details, see right-hand column.
In a Web 2.0 or social networking world, content can be quickly generated, ephemeral and highly personalized. The tools also enable collaboration, customization, mashups. What does this mean for the knowledge manager? Can the information be reused through a Slice ‘n dice – chunking and enhanced by user contributions – user generated knowledge bases? Can folksonomies supplemented by social tagging be controlled with taxonomic structures for long term use?
This talk covers some case examples of the intersection between the free association of ideas in Web 2.0 and organized knowledge capture and storage.
Marjorie M.K. Hlava is President, Chairman, and founder of Access Innovations, Inc. She founded the company in 1978 and it is now in its 30th year. The company provides information management services such as metatagging, thesaurus and taxonomy creation workflow consulting. In short, all services to create and maintain a digital information collection. The company owns the Data Harmony software for Content creation, taxonomy management, metadata and entity extraction, automatic summarization, and automatic indexing for portals and data collections. In creating well formed data we can significantly enhance search results.
She is very well known in the international information arena. She is past president of NFAIS (2002-2003), the organization of those who create, organize and distribute information. Ms. Hlava is past president of the American Society for Information Science and Technology - 1993 (ASIST) and the 1996 recipient of ASIST's prestigious Watson Davis Award, twice a member of the Board of Directors of SLA (formerly known as the Special Libraries Association), 5 year member of the Board of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), past President of the Board of Documentation Abstracts, and has held numerous committee and other positions in these and other organizations. She has published more than two hundred articles and books on information science topics.
Marjorie holds software patents. Her research areas include furthering the productivity of content creation and the governance layer for information access through automated indexing, thesaurus development, taxonomy creation, natural language processing, machine translations, and machine aided indexing. She has given countless presentations domestically and internationally, including keynote addresses. She has given workshops and lectures on thesaurus development, taxonomy creation, natural language processing, machine translations, and machine aided indexing.
She is also president of the Hubbell House Alliance restoring a spacious historic adobe home on 10 acres which served as a ranch headquarters, coaching inn on the El Camino Real, trading post, post office and mercantile.

Applying Knowledge Management in Academic Settings: Personal KM and New Institutional Learning Models
Upcoming KM Chicago Presentation for March 10, 2009
Ever wonder how Knowledge Management can be applied in academic settings; both for individuals and institutions? Such application could conceivably modify curriculums, assure that newer faculty can be better prepared, collect (and use) lessons learned in academic administration, and creating new models for education and learning.
Alan Burns will speak on his KM experiences both within the institution and lessons learned from setting up his Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) tools as both professor and law student. Alan Burns has been a student of Knowledge Management for over 12 years. He leads a double life as a professor teaching IS and KM courses at DePaul University's School of Computing and Digital Media and as a 3L student in DePaul's School of Law.
Alan's research interests are expanding beyond KM to legal aspects of IT, as well as copyrights, patents, and other forms of intellectual property. His educational background includes a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, an MBA, and a PhD in Business. Prior to academia he worked for over 13 years in the corporate world in a variety of positions of engineering, management and project management.

February 10th KM Chicago Meeting Announcement: KM and Organizational Learning
Due to our cancellation last month, we are looking forward to talking to Jean this month instead on the same topic Tuesday, February 10th at 5:30pm
For location details, see right-hand column.
Jean Egmon will lead an interactive session on the integration of knowledge management and organizational learning. She will present a conceptual framework, cases and conversations around methods for accelerating innovation while achieving cost savings by blending knowledge management and organizational learning into “design experiments.”
Author of The Prepared Mind: Eight Skills Leaders Use to Innovate, Make Decisions, and Solve Problems published by Jossey-Bass, 2006
Jean Egmon is the executive director of the Ford Center Network, a division of the Ford Center for Global Citizenship within the Kellogg School of Management where she is also a faculty member. Additionally, she is the director of Northwestern University’s Complexity in Action Network. Jean is also the president of Third Angle, Inc. Jean’s work focuses on spotting & leveraging interdependencies across value networks. This means synthesizing information and ideas from diverse sources, working with companies to spot the “third angle,” i.e., a higher order concept of “simple elegance” that enables clients to meet multiple needs of multiple stakeholders at once. From there, she works with clients to design strategies and environments to innovate and make decisions that create a pull for participation across the networks.
Applications of this expertise include: uncovering and exploring new market niches; engaging cross-boundary collaboration for invention and innovation; designing new things to be more easily adopted & viral across customers and employees; employing a design method where interdisciplinary teams approach a variety of business questions with a design mindset and iterate with end users; and designing work to be done by networks.
Jean relies heavily on her interdisciplinary background, and that of her team, in cognition, management, and complexity sciences, marketing and literature to develop frameworks, approaches and tools that help business leaders and scientists see the world with a more connective lens and actively build their own capabilities and applications in these areas.

KM Links to Best Practices and Essential KM Jumping Off Points
At the January meeting, a few attendees mentioned starting a new KM initiative in their organization. I thought I'd share a list of resources that came my way in a KM.Gov group meeting. Granted some links may be dated and too government-focused, but, who knows, you may find something of value on it (esp. the KM.Gov wiki).
If anybody has additional links, please include them in your comments (link, short description). I'll try to figure out how to make this into a resource for the group.
Knowledge Management vs. Knowledge Sharing
IBM was abandoning the term "knowledge management" for "knowledge sharing." According to an article on the KnowledgeBoard site.
KM.gov Important Resources and Links
Excellent templates and principles for KM practice
50 Essential KM Websites and Blogs
This website list 50 essential websites and blogs discussing knowledge management.
APQC'S Road Map to Knowledge Management
Good presentations and doc files. Many are 8-10 yrs old but still apply with good concepts.

Jean Egmon will lead an interactive session on the integration of knowledge management and organizational learning. She will present a conceptual framework, cases and conversations around methods for accelerating innovation while achieving cost savings by blending knowledge management and organizational learning into “design experiments.”
Author of The Prepared Mind: Eight Skills Leaders Use to Innovate, Make Decisions, and Solve Problems published by Jossey-Bass, 2006
Jean Egmon is the executive director of the Ford Center Network, a division of the Ford Center for Global Citizenship within the Kellogg School of Management where she is also a faculty member. Additionally, she is the director of Northwestern University’s Complexity in Action Network. Jean is also the president of Third Angle, Inc. Jean’s work focuses on spotting & leveraging interdependencies across value networks. This means synthesizing information and ideas from diverse sources, working with companies to spot the “third angle,” i.e., a higher order concept of “simple elegance” that enables clients to meet multiple needs of multiple stakeholders at once. From there, she works with clients to design strategies and environments to innovate and make decisions that create a pull for participation across the networks.
Applications of this expertise include: uncovering and exploring new market niches; engaging cross-boundary collaboration for invention and innovation; designing new things to be more easily adopted & viral across customers and employees; employing a design method where interdisciplinary teams approach a variety of business questions with a design mindset and iterate with end users; and designing work to be done by networks.
Jean relies heavily on her interdisciplinary background, and that of her team, in cognition, management, and complexity sciences, marketing and literature to develop frameworks, approaches and tools that help business leaders and scientists see the world with a more connective lens and actively build their own capabilities and applications in these areas.
Organizations with which Jean has worked include: Abbott, Accenture, Bank of America, Boeing, Equity Office Properties, Exelon Corporation, ExxonMobil, General Electric, Kraft, Merck, Proctor & Gamble, Raytheon, Unilever, United Airlines & US Intelligence.
