Speaker: Patti Anklam
Program Description: Patti’s recent book, Net Work: A Practical Guide to Networks at Work and in the World, translates her insights from working in and with networks - including Boston KM Forum and other local Boston networks - into an overview of many different facets of network thinking and methodologies for working with networks. In this talk, Patti will introduce the Net Work framework, which includes a taxonomy for describing networks in terms of purpose, structure, style, and value; a toolkit for designing, examining, and leading networks through change; and the imperatives for leaders to shift to network thinking. Drawing on examples from the case studies in Net Work, Patti will illustrate how organizations of all types are using a network approach to organizing and managing complex sets of relationships and interdependencies, and how the emerging practices and tools support knowledge management strategies.
Patti’s book is available from Amazon.com and other online booksellers, including the publisher, Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann.

A question and comment at the last breakfast roundtable on mapping prompted this discussion.
One participant asked if there are any guidelines for limiting the number of topics or parameters one should try to map for a company intranet or taxonomy. This prompted another to describe the limits of human attention and variables they were able to juggle when considering business strategies and problem solving. It seems to relate to the type of business and the people involved in the discussion.
These comments stimulated a whole new round of conversation that we decided to carry into November. What have you found in your organization? Are there any patterns you have observed that you can turn into generalities about how many ideas, topics, variables or parameters seem to limit business design, planning or content management? Are there particular types of knowledge workers who do better with deep and complex topics and lots of grey areas, while others only seem to deal with well-bounded problems? Where do you begin when you are tasked with an agenda for managing a diverse and complex domain of knowledge?
