Title: Social Enterprises: A Changing Information Landscape

Abstract:
Driven by the social media
revolution occurring on the Internet, large and small organizations are
increasingly adopting powerful information technology tools inside the firewall
that connect employees and information in unprecedented ways. These new
tools and work processes allow employees to collaborate and perform important
business tasks in ways that finally break the paradigm of paper as the
fundamental container of information. This presentation will explore how
these new capabilities and work norms dramatically change the nature of
information within organizations and some of the opportunities and challenges
those changes have on traditional ideas of information management, records
management, learning, and communication.
Biography:
Don Burke currently leads the
Department of Energy's internal collaboration capability called
"Powerpedia", which leverages the same software as Wikipedia to
create a platform where DOE employees capture and connect information in new
and unprecedented ways. Previously, Mr. Burke played a leading role in
the development of Intellipedia within the Intelligence Community for which he
was awarded a "Service to America Medal" in 2009. His work and
lessons learned on innovation and implementing social tools within
the enterprise have been captured in a number of books including
"The New Social Learning", "Long Fuse, Big Bang: Achieving
Long-Term Success Through Daily Victories"; and
Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools for Your Organization's
Toughest Challenges.
