APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING
Following the successful meeting of the TFPL Connect learning
network in February 2008 we are pleased to announce the programme for the next
meeting:
The future of work - technology
Tuesday, 10 June 2008 (13.30-17.30)
RSA,
This event will be followed by wine
and canapés until 19.30
The world of work continues to evolve. The
increasing capability of information and communication technology, demographics
that present a new profile of the ‘workforce’, and social
developments that influence people’s ambitions, expectations and
attitudes – all present challenges to established ideas about the work
environment and experience and the people who deliver organisational success.
TFPL Connect continues its consideration of the future of work by discussing technological
development and the potential implications of new technology for the future of
knowledge and information management in organisations.
Jo Causon from the Chartered Management Institute will lead the discussions by
presenting some results from the Institute's own research into the future of
work. The Chartered Management Institute has 79,000 individual and 300
corporate members. Part of its role is to influence policy makers and opinion
formers on key management issues.
One key theme identified by the Institute in its research is the changing
nature of business models and structures – including an increase in the
number of 'purely virtual' organisations. Such organisations have an increased
requirement for technology that can capture and analyse implicit and tacit
knowledge and for increased levels of information security. Meanwhile
'individuality' in technology is key enabling integration of work with personal
knowledge.
Following this, we will hear from two people responsible for knowledge and
information in a large corporate (BDO Stoy Hayward) and a public sector
organisation (Transport for
Finally, Paul Ormerod will facilitate the delegates and speakers through a
knowledge café process to consider key learnings from the day.
Don’t forget to join us afterwards for early evening networking, wine and
canapés in the RSA vaults.
