    Wednesday, 22nd November 2006 at 14:30
    at the London Offices of the Patent Office,
    Harmsworth House, 13 - 15 Bouverie Street, London, EC4 8DP

    We hear about "globalisation" and "virtual organisations" increasingly in the current business world. But what is the actual practice behind the hype? How do teams work together over distances? How do technologies like email and videoconferencing affect communications? What are the real costs and benefits of co- locating people in the same space? The 'Managing Knowledge Spaces' research project (www.knowledgespaces.org) compared the behaviour of dispersed and co-located teams, to understand the pattern of use of established communications media and the newer technologies. This interactive workshop will explore issues affecting choice of media and will share research findings in companies such as Sun Microsystems, Arup and QinetiQ.

  • KIMNET meeting for 2006, on Wednesday 20th September at 14:30 at our usual venue, the Patent Office.

    We are fortunate to have as our speaker, John Paul Kawalek of ThinkTank International, who will speak to the title:

    “From fire-fighting to Organisational Problem-solving”.

    John will be sharing with us some very new ideas about how knowledge management principles can be applied in very practical ways to significantly benefit individuals and organisations. Unless we can add value to our organisations we cannot be successful – this meeting will give us an insight into one approach to delivering this value. This is a topic relevant to us all and we can expect a different and very informative meeting. Try not to miss it!

    The full Meeting Notice is attached. Please register now by e-mailing Jean Balcombe (jean@balcombelondon.co.uk) or via the Web Site (www.kimnet.org.uk). ADDITIONALLY, unless as a member you have already paid the 6 meeting pre-payment fee of £50, please print, complete and return the attached pro-forma Invoice with your meeting fee (£15 for members, £45 for non-members), in accordance with the instructions on the Invoice.
