Boston KM Forum: Dark Blogs December 18, 2006

Following on the heels of our six recent Symposia on Leveraging Knowledge, our December, 2006 Symposium will focus on “Dark Blogs – Internal Blogs for Leveraging Knowledge."

We're all aware of the use of blogs to share knowledge across the Internet. Experts use them to broadcast their insights, marketers use them to expound on the merits of their products, and smaller organizations use them as alternatives to traditional Web sites. But blogs are also being used within the firewall.

In this symposium, we'll explore the emerging uses of blogs - and wikis - to leverage an organization's internal knowledge - internally. We'll discuss a broad range of options, including techniques and case examples. And we'll examine some of the major issues critical to the success of Dark Blogs in sharing organizational knowledge.

Among our speakers will be a user-organization representative, a product vendor, a consultant, and an academic. They will share with us their knowledge and experiences in the potential, actual use, and challenges of Dark Blogs. This symposium promises to be a true learning event!
