CCC will be alongside upwards of a thousand attendees at KMWorld’s 2018 annual conference. This premier event for knowledge professionals will be held in Washington D.C., Nov. 6-8.
We’re proud to be a gold sponsor of this year’s event. In addition to meeting our team in the exhibit hall, here’s a look at four sessions where we’ll be in the audience (plus a bonus!):
Rethinking KM for an Age of AI & IoT
- Daniel W. Rasmus, Founder & Principal Analyst, Serious Insights
This session explores the impact of AI and IoT on KM, as machines get better and better at sensing the environment, comprehending content, interpreting signals, and anticipating needs. Get a better sense of how the overall world of work is changing and what it means for people who value knowledge, discovery, and curation.
KM Leadership & KM Champion Role
- Hasan Syed, VP, KM, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
- Mary Little, Senior Consultant, Enterprise Knowledge
KM often doesn’t get a seat at the table because there are common misunderstandings about what knowledge management even is, or organizational leaders are skeptical about its benefits because they’ve been burned by previous failed efforts. Having a KM champion within an organization can help connect those in need of KM solutions with the experts, tools, processes, and know-how to improve collaboration and knowledge flow between team members and departments. Syed will share how he has communicated the value of KM to the senior leaders of his organization and gained their buy-in to incorporate KM initiatives into their overall strategic plan.
