knowledge Harvesting - capturing and transferring knowledge from those who
have it, to those who need it.
Knowledge harvesting is a KM technique that traditionally focuses on the
capture and transfer of an individual's tacit knowledge into a more explicit
format that can then be used by others. This knowledge transfer is often
completed when an individual is about to leave an organisation (exit
interview), but can also be applied to those joining (induction) or moving
(promotion) within an organisation, and at times of team/project building
and re-structuring.
This masterclass focuses on a holistic approach to knowledge harvesting and
considers the links and overlaps with other KM related activities.
Speaker: Ian Wooler
Dates: 9th February 2006
Masterclass fee: £495 + VAT (£581.63) including refreshments and a buffet
lunch.

researching mergers and acquisitions
*Also available as an in-house course
This is a new basic level course designed to be a primer in researching
merger and acquisitions deals (M&A). Global deal activity exceeded $1
trillion in 2004 and as companies now usually grow by M&A, it is a vital
skill for all business information specialists to understand how to conduct
and structure good research into all types of deals. The course covers the
M&A in the UK, but with references to Continental Europe and the US.

strategic information architecture design: building the platform for
corporate delivery
*Also available as an in-house course
This one day masterclass introduces information and knowledge managers to
the principles of information architecture design and their impact on
corporate strategy. Information resources are increasingly critical
corporate assets but most organisations fail to capitalise on their value
because the resources are badly organised and relatively inaccessible.
Information and knowledge managers need to drive this convergence and this
workshop gives them the tools.
This workshop will help you make a solid case for developing a coherent
information architecture for your organisation. With your new understanding,
you'll be able to create convincing arguments for your board discussions and
you'll be able to paint a very clear picture of how you'll deliver early
benefits that will repay the investment.
Speaker: Adrian Dale
Date: 21 Feb
course fee: £495.00 + VAT (£581.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments.

re-skilling for the future
*Also available as an in-house course
NEW
The roles and responsibilities of the Information Professional continue to
evolve. Having specialist qualifications, knowledge and skills is no longer
enough to survive and progress in the current job market. Information
professionals now face new challenges, which they are unprepared for, such
as, restructuring, outsourcing and proving their worth through business
cases. This one-day course will help information professionals deal with
change more effectively, making them more productive and employable. It
also covers how to take a team of people through change and maintain
motivation and focus. The second part of the programme focuses on the
attitudes and skills which information professionals need to practice and
develop in order to survive and thrive. This programme draws on a case
study of an information department, which has survived change and from
individuals who have re-skilled for the future. This is a highly practical
day, which will allow participants to resolve their individual challenges.
Speaker: Candy Jannetta
Date: 22 Feb
course fee: £295.00 + VAT (£346.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments.

strategic planning for records management
*Also available as an in-house course
NEW
This one day workshop is designed for managers responsible for leading and
developing records management services who want to practice and hone their
strategic planning and influencing skills.
The workshop will provide participants with a strategic planning model
together with a set of practical techniques needed to build the plan.
Though focused on records management, the model and techniques are more
generally applicable and will equip participants to contribute to their
organisation's own strategic planning processes.
Speaker: John Davies
Date: 23 Feb
course fee: £295.00 + VAT (£346.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments

faceted taxonomies
*Also available as an in-house course
NEW
In a faceted classification organisations identify the main criteria by
which their people search for information, and build a small set of key
words for each criteria.
Their power lies in their simplicity and power: they are simple to build,
explain, maintain, update and use; while at the same time they offer an
intuitive and flexible tool for information retrieval.
They can be deployed within one system (typically an intranet, a website or
an EDRMS) or across two or many systems. Indeed the more systems that your
organisation deploys the faceted classification the more effective it is.
Speaker: James Lappin
Date: 24 Feb
course fee: £295.00 + VAT (£346.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments.

*Also available as an in-house course

design and promotion. Numbers on this course are strictly limited to a

influencing stakeholders and personal impact
*Also available as an in-house course
NEW
Knowledge and information professionals are working with an ever diverse
range of stakeholders and have daily opportunities to either make positive,
negative or unintended impacts. It is important for these professionals to
plan an approach for working with, and influencing stakeholders, and to be
able to communicate the benefits of knowledge and information management
activities with impact.
This workshop will offer a number of techniques and approaches to help
delegates segment, manage and influence stakeholders. Delegates will also
have the opportunity to consider the ways in which they impact on others and
the personal brand they communicate.
