FAQ For Sean Murphy

 


 

Why do you come to KMWorld?

This is my third year, so it's something of a triumph of hope over experience, but I believe that there are a number of techniques and technologies in the "knowledge management" space that are going to have a profound impact on business. This conference is one place to listen to bona fide practitioners and see vendors with innovative technology you don't see in many other venues and certainly not all together.

 

Are there specific technology issues that you are interested in?

  • How are wikis, blogs, and instant messaging (IM) tools going to merge into content management systems on corporate intranets?
  • How can the very powerful text analytics tools available for enterprises be scaled down so that they work for personal information management: I am thinking of a number of things like latent semantic indexing, recommendation and group lens systems for small teams and ad hoc groups, and e-discovery tools that I could use for my e-mail and IM (instead of by a corporate compliance officer or outside counsel).

 

If you could merge this conference with another one which would it be?

Two choices Techdirt Greenhouse and Office 2.0:

  • Techdirt Greenhouse (see also wiki Jun-10-2006 event) fosters a level of discussion among the attendees that would be very energizing at KMWorld. Have 3 people come up and present a current challenge in their organization related to knowledge management. The group breaks into six teams, two each working on the three issues. There is small group discussion, a report back to the larger group by each team, and then a large group discussion
  • Office 2.0 had a number of vendors aimed at replacing PC based apps with web services, the net effect was to focus on enabling group process and communication. Many of these applications have a strong potential to enable much more effective knowledge sharing at least in a team setting than any of the "top down" enterprise class portals that make the same promise.

 

Any sessions in particular you plan to attend?

I missed Tuesday because of a prior commitment but today I plan to listen to Dave Pollard, whom I find to be consistently insightful, talk about "Adding Meaning and Value to Information" in Session A203

 

Any advice for the Conference Organizers?

It sure would be nice if each session had a permalink and trackback function, if it's available I haven't found it).

 

What else can you tell us about yourself?
