This session on CI and Knowledge Management tools  will discuss best practices, key approaches to managing CI and company knowledge, and the key factors to consider when setting up a KM or CI tool.  With a key focus on the conceptual reasons and advantages/disadvantages of different systems, and non-systems, specific product names and brands will not be a focus.  Come ready to discuss your experiences with the expert panel and to participate in a lively session that will help you to decide how to best solve CI and KM process and program problems.

Expert talks are interactive panel discussions, where the facilitator engages the audience with his experts (panellists). Experts are either invitees from the speakers, conference participants or exhibitors. After a short introduction from the facilitator the experts are asked to set the stage with a candid initial statement.

Expert sessions are designed to provide you with an opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues and to address CI issues not covered in depth during the session presentations! Be prepared to contribute actively and passionately - or simply enjoy the high calibre exchange of CI best practices.
