Seminar on the "Network Enabled Organisation"
On July 14th and 15th I'm organising a small seminar on the Networked Enabled Organisation at Templeton College in Oxford. Numbers are limited to 20, but there are a few spaces left, so do let me know if you'd like to come. Alternatively, if you know someone who is a KM pracitioner whose street it might be up, it'd be great if you could pass this on. I'm hoping it'll be a nice mix of interesting speakers, interesting people and interesting conversations.
Formal details are here. The aim of the day is basically to get professionals together to discuss social computing in the context of organisations and their social dynamics. Not just blogs, but the whole kit and kaboodle. And not just organisations, but the people in them.
I've tried to put together some thought-provoking speakers, to give people food for thought, and provide time for people to chew that food over together.
Thoughts to chew are:
- Costs and benefits of different network structures (Dr. Sean Gourley)
- Geography and Shared Architecture in Virtual Spaces (Dr Andrew Smith)
- The Art of Conversation (Dr Theodore Zeldin)
- Anthropology and Social Capital (Will Davies)
And in terms of chewing real food, there's a dinner run by Theodore Zeldin's Oxford Muse, which should be fun.
Anyway, do let me know if you're interested and can come (it's �150 btw with accommodation extra)- either via KnowledgeBoard or at piersDotyoungAttempleton.ox.ac.uk (removing the dot and at).
Hope to see you there! :)
