Knowledge and information management for the public sector

A two-day conference designed to help you:

• Convince your senior management that effective knowledge and information management is the key to cost-efficiency
• Run effective knowledge and information management programmes on a tight budget
• Get more from your existing knowledge assets
• Win the cultural battle
• Mitigate against security breaches by keeping confidential public information securely
• Successfully harvest and capture both explicit and tacit knowledge to avoid knowledge leaks
• Understand how other government organisations are engaging citizens and sharing knowledge internally using social networking technology
• Find out about web 3.0; and how you can begin to implement semantic technology even when you have no budget to spend
• Learn how horizon scanning is being used to prepare government organisations for the future

Rather than slowing the impetus towards effective knowledge management, this difficult economic climate has highlighted the importance of information and knowledge management as a means to deliver productivity and cost efficiencies in government.

Undeniably though, with knowledge and information management budgets under severe pressure in many parts of the public sector, the task that lies before knowledge professionals is harder than ever before.

Right now, you need to know how to convince your senior management team that a sound knowledge and information strategy will deliver cost-savings for your organisation. You also need the tools and techniques to measure and justify your existing programmes and initiatives in order to unlock future budget, and you need to leverage more from your existing knowledge assets.

The programme for our 9th Annual Knowledge and information management for the public sector has been completely refreshed this year to ensure that it is set in the realistic context of the economic climate.

By attending this event, you will save months of time and a lot of money by being able to quickly identify low-cost strategies and solutions to keep your knowledge management on track whilst things are tough.

As ever, the programme will showcase current best practice as well as new approaches to knowledge and information management. It includes exciting and innovative case-studies from public sector organisations that are currently using social networking and semantic technologies as well as horizon scanning techniques. It will answer the question “what is the next big thing in public sector knowledge management?”

Fully established as the annual event for knowledge and information managers in the public sector, the comprehensive two-day agenda will see you return to the office full of fresh ideas for conducting knowledge management on a budget and with fresh inspiration for exploiting current and future technologies and practices to drive cost-efficiencies as well as fair outcomes for citizens.
