Knowledge Management in the 21st Century:

Moving Forward, Sustaining the Momentum


Kick-off Reception: Friday evening, November 15

Summit: Saturday, November 16

The ASIST 2002 Knowledge Management Summit views KM from the perspective of 
mature reality rather than a promising blip on the "good idea" radar 
screen. We will look at KM in today's organization and determine where it 
stands - as an urgent flashpoint, or possibly integrated into the fabric of 
the organization as a given. Is it in "stealth mode" - alive but given a 
different name, renamed for the 21st century? The summit will report on the 
current KM buzz.

Join us and DO KM with KM colleagues. The 2002 KM Summit will be your 
opportunity to exchange best practices with those who have been there for 
years and have exciting news to share. We'll explore KM roles within 
organizations such as Bain and the World Bank, the state-of-the-art in 
collaboration research and technology (Patti Anklam will discuss social 
network analysis and Diane Sonnenwald shares her research on 
collaboratories), the tools that KM practitioners are using (guided by 
Joseph Busch), and what's the next generation in KM with Neena Buck from 
Common Knowledge Cambridge, Michael Zack from Northeastern University's 
Knowledge Management program, and Claire McInerney from Rutgers. And in the 
spirit of really doing KM, Stan Ward will be helping us facilitate the 
knowledge sharing throughout the Summit.
