Europe's premier business-focused KM conference
KMUK 2011 focused on the knowledge management function’s role as ‘business decision support’ – a group of tasks and practices that lead all businesses, private and public, to make better decisions. KMUK 2012 continues this theme, showing how KM professionals can communicate with confidence at the most senior levels, engage with business issues and speak in the language of the business.
The action-packed two day conference agenda addresses the key issues around communication, relationship building, influencing and engagement, as well as offering real-life experience of implementing cutting-edge initiatives and programmes. In a period of economic uncertainty when organisations are seeking to improve processes and stabilise the business, KM has a key role to play in leading this change, and creating a sustainable strategy will be a top priority for many knowledge managers. KMUK 2012 will arm you with flexible knowledge and techniques to support and drive change in your organisation, whatever the context.
We are delighted to welcome back some of our most popular speakers from previous years – Dave Snowden, David Gurteen, Nick Davies and Chris Collison – and to introduce Asia Pacific perspectives from Keith De La Rue and Arthur Shelley. This year’s inspirational case studies come from a range of sectors, including Shell Projects and Technology, Siemens Switzerland, NHS Connecting for Health, Sellafield Ltd, Aedas, Ernst & Young, ERM (Environmental Resource Management), Burges Salmon and Plan International to name a few...
This year’s streams focus on ‘people, culture and strategy’ and ‘tools and techniques’ and allow you to tailor your learning in line with your and your organisation’s current priorities. The handy workbook all delegates receive includes the slides for both streams so you won’t miss out on either!
As Europe’s business-focused KM conference, KMUK 2012 also offers a fantastic opportunity to meet your counterparts in public, private and not-for-profit organisations across the UK and continental Europe.
