We also decided to use a maturity model and use survey monkey to enable us to do the survey on line. We used data we gathered at the Rt meeting on 28 May to structure the Survey content - whatch this space. the minutes are located here Notes & Agenda for meeting at PB on 29 May 08

We have been speaking about the WEB 2.0 technology for quite a while, this utube link has been shared by Jim and it has some very good simple examples of what some of these things are and even a very simple how to use them. [1] it covers wiki, twitter, RSS, Social Networking, social bookmarking, blogs and more and all in plain english (even if it is american) a great little resource

Key Agenda points for May Meeting 2008 were;

Presentation by one of the new high profile Federal Govt Departments - a presentation on how how they are making a significant difference to the information and knowledge sharing for NRM regional bodies across Australia (using mostly open source software - @ significant cost savings)

BP shared the structure and model of their Cops as well as the challenges, learnings and enablers. This was also a great day where members undertook an activity where they were painting canvasses around the Zoo to return them for the end if the activity & debrief.

Tips for hosting a CIWG

Our newest CIWG - Creating a culture of Knowledge Sharing

The WIKI Breakouts Reflections from the February Roundtable meeting

CIWG activity during 2007 was extensive.

All KMRt Common Interest Work Group Activities (CIWG) are available to review.

The key CIWG's that were active during 2007 were;

• The Knowledge Management Enabler - Technology group was formed to look at the learnings that the members have had around understanding Business Requirements, the types of KM Technology solutions available and how best to implement them effectively. A key tool developed by this group is the KM Enabler Vendor/Product table a snapshot of what is out there and who has used it. The CIWG Reflections and where to from here details their lastest discussions.

• The Workforce Planning group have developed a great front end WFP model that links to the many resources that have been shared with us around analysis, strategy development and implementation alternatives. The CIWG Reflections and where to from here details their lastest discussions. In short they will design a way to demonstrate/communicate/or enable the experience of some of the content to other members of the KMRt. They also will be completing the adaption of the content and expanding into stakeholder engagement/eductation.

• The Knowledge Exiting and keeping Technical knowledge team focussed on how to retain organisational memory before all those Baby Boomers or Gen Y's leave the organisation. The CIWG Reflections and where to from here page details their lastest discussions. They agreed to do more work on exploring and understanding the techniques and tools made available by the WIKI as well as the WIKI itself. Then exploring what it means to work on the organisational culture as a whole rather than just small pockets, small isolated projects. (just a small thing really :-)

this was translated into "we need a day to rethink, train on the WIKI, explore the beginiings of the Culture journey.

KMRt Wiki is a web-based, collaborative content development and storage space used by the members of the KMRt. The content stored here provides links to guide the user to related pages with additional information.

A Wiki is written collaboratively by members of a community or team that is located in the same building or geographically separated. Because of the web-based nature the contributors are often located all around the world as is the case with the most famous Wiki, Wikipedia [4].

The greatest strength of a Wiki is that it is open to anyone in a given community. This gives it the potential to have a large contributor base, articles are written by consensus and links are made to relevant content be it a web site [5], podcast [6], or even an article( Articles of Interest ) or image uploaded onto the wiki itself.

To log in go to the top right hand corner of the page where it says login/create acct and click on that. If you do not have an account created please contact me on michelle@sirfrt.com.au.

Every page has a link that says "edit", which lets you edit the page you are looking at. It is a Wiki's most basic feature, and allows you to make contributions or corrections and add facts to articles.

To explore using the Wiki Go to this page and click the "edit" tab at the top of the page. This will open an edit window. Add something fun and interesting or "Hello world!" then save it and see what you have done!
