  Free Live Webinar November 18, 2009 at 2 pm ET 

Implementing Enterprise 2.0 technologies and approaches can be a key driver of competitiveness and profitability. However since Enterprise 2.0 sits at the nexus of technology and organizational culture, there can be no one-size-fits-all approach.

This webinar will cover:

• How to apply the Enterprise 2.0 Implementation Framework to develop your own strategy and action plan
• Identifying key risks and benefits, and the process of establishing Enterprise 2.0 governance and policies
• Making it happen: building a business case, getting buy-in, setting up pilots, and user adoption
• Building a culture of collaboration and innovation and creating the enterprise of the future

KMWorld Best Practices White Papers:

• Best Practices in Knowledge Management
There remains a partisan divide over “knowledge management.” One side says it’s about tools and technology. The other side says it’s about process and procedure. As the man once said: It might be BOTH.
Knowledge management: A noun or a verb?

• Best Practices in Records Management, Risk & Compliance
This tension between “keeping versus destroying” (also called “retention and disposition”) can drive a fatal wedge between your business operations managers and your legal advisors. It’s happening every day.
Records are good. Records management is essential

• Best Practices in Paper-Centric Business Process Automation
Despite almost two decades’ worth of effort to automate paper-based business processes of all kinds, it might be surprising that the issue of “paper” is still on the minds of knowledge managers and business executives.
Tame the paper beast now. It is not your friend.

By allowing fast, easy and lightweight collaboration between individuals and workgroups, tools such as user forums, blogs, wikis and their ilk have finally made good on the promise of KM. And it seems to have happened overnight.

REGISTER NOW for this complimentary webcast

The hype (and self-hype) of Social Media has gone from buzz to roar. Companies of all sizes across sectors are discovering that social technology innovations can provide competitive advantage, from engaging customers in support forums to unlocking employee productivity with advances in collaboration.

As fast as companies, communities and consumers are producing data about each other and everything else, they need faster, more versatile search capabilities to find the information they want. They want search technology that can match pace with the transparency, flexibility, speed and scale of social media and the data that drives it.

Join Lucid Imagination Chief Architect Brian Pinkerton, to examine how Lucene/Solr Open Source Search Technology is unlocking the value inside the torrents of data produced by social technology. We’ll explore search strategies with thought leaders Dave Hendi, Director of Engineering for Search at MySpace.com, and Ty Ahmad-Taylor, CEO of Fanfeedr.com,
and discuss Digg.com, LinkedIn, and other cutting-edge Lucene/Solr use cases, to help you discover the search innovations that can put your social media data to work.
