Fall 2004 Value Proposition

The Fall 2004 KM Cluster® is extremely pleased and honored to announce Valdis Krebs will lead a valuable day-long tutorial on Enterprise Social Network Analysis (SNA).

Valdis is among a small handful of top worldwide practioners in enterprise SNA. His professional career has focused exclusively for 17 years on SNA in the enterprise, global organizations and other institutions. Valdis’ offerings are highly practical – they are all about achieving timely benefits and advantages of enterprise SNA while working with real managers in real business.

Some of your immediate benefits and value include:

• Lower cost through far better balance and use of existing resources;
• Improve financial performance by optimizing contribution of top performers;
• Focus attention on the importance of tacit knowledge and intangible assets;
• Uncover your best knowledge resources and conduits in the organization;
• Achieve fundamental improvements and speed in innovation and R&D.

For a more exhaustive list of benefits visit the Enterprise SNA Agenda.

Valdis will walk you through Enterprise SNA in great practical detail. This includes many practical, real life  success stories from respected organizations such as IBM, Aventis, CapitalOne, Center for Disease Control, Lucent Technologies, Shell, Rubbermaid, Deloitte, Jaakko Pöyry, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Booz-Allen, KPMG and University of Michigan Business School.

In addition to the tutorial and narrative technique, this hands-on gathering will use InFlow 3.0 Network Mapping Software. This robust, friendly technology is used to effectively map and measure networks, flows, and relationships in organizations, communities and other complex human systems. Paired with proven enterprise SNA techniques, these practical methods are instrumental in building and optimizing the dynamic knowledge ecosystems essential to productivity, innovation and the future of all knowledge-based organizations.

Each Enterprise SNA participant receives a fully-functional, 75-node participant copy of InFlow Software to quickly bootstrap you SNA pilot projects. Follow-on telephone consulting is available to assure your success. Participants also receive a discount on InFlow Software and services. As usual, all materials, meals, refreshments, registration, shared services and other logistics are covered by your Fall 2004 KM Cluster tuition.

In addition, all participants also receive a complimentary copy of
“The Hidden Power of Social Networks: Understanding How Work Really Gets Done in Organizations, by Rob Cross and Andrew Parker.
