Monday, November 25, 2013
Impressions
• THE conference if you are into taxonomy and metadata!
• content for all levels
• ranged from introductory to highly advanced and technical
Monday, November 25, 2013
Key Take-aways• User experience and design are not
everything - things need to be organized to function (IM = Yin UX = Yang)
• test anything you create on a sub-set of your data to make sure it works
• reserve use of your subject matter experts (SMEs) for the final reviews - (for systems where the audience is wider than just SMEs)
• it is more difficult to build a taxonomy of 10 terms than one of 1000 terms

Structure of the conference

Take-aways - Keynotes
• need to “muscle” way into spaces that design and IT are in
• concept of “big data” is being misunderstood and overblown
• Dave Snowden: we still need humans to know what questions to ask and to interpret the data
Monday, November 25, 2013
Take-aways - Social• Forrester Research: 55% of organizations
have or are planning to enable social
• “social” is no longer separate from KM
• Yammer has forced the issue on social, has subverted leadership’s efforts
• if you do not set up social for your staff, they will do it themselves
• Unisys: CEO has helped lead the way with adoption
Monday, November 25, 2013
Take-aways
• it’s all about interconnectivity, getting systems to work together
• Unisys’ killer app: use a hashtag in the microblog, anyone who has that hashtag in their profile (under “ask me about”) is notified with an email

Bickerstaff (cont’d)• 4 big forces for 3rd generation affecting KM
now and in future:
1. digital immersion
2. social computing
3. demographics and dynamics
4. mobile devices and video
• over 50% of the world’s population is under 30; 96% of them have joined a social network
