With apologies for cross posting: Tribal Group is pleased to offer the following training course: Records Management 2.0: trends and applications of collaboration and social computing tools. 9th June 09 Leeds This course (IM-006) takes a look at the future, what it might look like, and how information managers can harness the power of Web 2.0 (the name given to second generation web-based communities and hosted services designed to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users). Hundreds of different Web 2.0 applications already exist. They include technologies such as weblogs, social book-marking, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds (and other forms of many-to- many publishing); social-networking software; online web services such as eBay and Gmail; web application programming interfaces (APIs), and interactive web applications using Asynchronous JavaScript (Ajax) and XML. During this course we will examine a number of these systems as well as the development of ‘zero-footprint’ websites that mimic personal computer applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets and slide-show presentations. We will then review how organisations can internalise some of these social computing tools within their organisation (‘Enterprise 2.0’ perhaps?), use them to get groups of people to work together, and create a positive impact on productivity, performance and bottom line results in the process. Key topics to be covered include: The Need for collaboration 20th century tools and techniques Social computing and e-collaboration tools Risks, Issues and rewards Organisational barriers to collaboration The challenges - culture change, internalisation and benefits The course leader is Dr Paul Duller, Previous Past Chair and Executive Secretary of the Records Management Society and Director, Information Management Consultancy, Tribal plc. The course fee is £199 plus VAT and £99 + VAT for additional delegates from the same organisation at the same event. We can invoice or take payment by credit card.
