Interactive Highlights

This year, Ark Group has incorporated several interactive elements into KM Asia 2009. Innovative inclusions such as cabaret style seating, the Reverse brainstorming session and the MAKE panel discussion will facilitate conversations amongst delegates and provide exciting collaborative opportunities.

We encourage you to make the most of these initiatives to meet, speak and share experiences with fellow attendees at KM Asia 2009!

Reverse brainstorming session

Coming up with new ideas or insights in a conventional brainstorming session is often hard work and not very engaging. An alternative approach is the “reverse brainstorm”.

In this session, the concept is simple: rather than brainstorming
about something they would like – delegates will instead brainstorm the opposite of what they would like. For example, if a KM practitioner
would like their KM project to be a success, they don’t ask “How do
we ensure our KM project is a success?” but instead “How do we ensure that our KM project is a total miserable failure?”

Participants will be taken through a process of discussing and listing
all the things that should be done to ensure that something is NOT successful. They will then prioritise those items and come up with antidotes. Finally, they will have a large group conversation about their possible responses, insights and what they have learnt.

This alternative approach harnesses negative energy such as
cynicism, sarcasm and hostility to spark creativity!

MAKE panel discussion

This is your chance to gain an insight into the views of our award winning experts. Hear a short overview from each of the panel speakers about their organisation’s recent work that led them to achieving the prestigious MAKE accolade.

You’ll then be given the opportunity to pose your questions and gain a better understanding about the key factors involved in each of their successful knowledge management journeys.
