Social Tools for the Enterprise Symposium

Matt Mower (Evectors software) and John Malone (KM Clusters) have pulled together a great line up for an event on Monday in London called the Social Tools for the Enterprise Symposium:

The London Symposium on Social Tools for the Enterprise is an opportunity for knowledge leaders to see and learn how to employ social tools. Both people tools and software tools will be closely examined. Symposium delegates will gain significant advantages in key areas such as collaboration, innovation, and project management.

Top thought leaders and expert practitioners from the business, consulting and academic worlds will introduce social tools in the context of how they can be used within large organisations and demonstrate the positive changes they can effect.

 Delegates will come out of this experience with a firm grasp of the power of social tools such as presence, blogs, wiki, chat, instant message and the capability to lead their own pilot projects to discover the benefits within their own organisation.

The line up includes Stowe Boyd, Euan Semple, Marc Eisenstadt, Phil Wolff, David Gurteen and George Por, as well as myself.

There is a weblog for the event here, which contains some background on the speakers and what they will talk about.

I shall be talking about the role of social software in supporting informal knowledge sharing systems within fast-moving organisations, and I shall offer some approaches and methodology based on our “smarter, simpler social” approach.

John tells me there are still a few places left for what will be a cosy, conversational event. Register here for the event, which includes lunch, refreshments and probably a dinner invitation as well. If you are coming and want to catch up, drop me a line or add a comment here.
