IBM Professional Technical Leadership Exchange - Madrid - May 2006
This week, folks, is going to be an interesting week as tomorrow morning I will be heading over to Madrid, Spain, for an upcoming IBM, internal only, event (The IBM Professional Technical Leadership Exchange) where a whole bunch of the IBM top leaders will get together from the 2nd till the 5th of May to share thoughts, ideas, experiences around the subject of “Delivering Innovation Together“.
Main reason why I am creating this weblog post over here is because while attending this particular event I will also be presenting, this coming Friday, on one of my favourite topics thus far: Personal Knowledge Management, which as you may have well guessed, fits in quite nicely with the main themes here at elsua. Indeed, during the course of a bit over an hour I will be taking the opportunity to talk about how Personal Knowledge Management, and the emergence of social software, is actually helping Knowledge Management come back in the corporate world big time, and perhaps everywhere else as well. And all that through a stronger and much more meaningful way where for the first time knowledge workers are the center of attention and not the tools, nor the processes, in order to help keep a much more relevant and stronger sense of knowledge sharing and collaboration within the corporation.
Thus, yes, indeed, I will be talking about wikis, weblogs, social bookmarks, podcasting, IM / VoIP, RSS / Atom Newsfeeds and so forth. Touching base, specially, on the IBM internal social networking tools that we are currently using at the moment in this particular space of social software. I am not sure if I would be able to share the presentation materials yet, as I need to do a few inquiries yet. I am not even sure if I would be able to some live conblogging as I have been told the venue is not very good with the network connections. Either way, I will certainly be taking some notes along the way and whenever I get a chance I will certainly get things going and post something, including some pictures of the event. Thus stay tuned for some more to come up !
Off I go …

[…] What an exciting week, indeed, last week, folks! I am now back from Madrid where I attended the IBM Professional Technical Leadership Exchange last week. If you would remember, I was also scheduled to present on the topic Personal Knowledge Management, specially on how IBM is making use of PKM related tools in order to augment different KM strategies already in place to foster and boost knowledge sharing and collaboration. Well, the presentation went very well and had lots of positive feedback. I may detail some more about its contents and perhaps share the slides at a later time once I get the go ahead, since most of the information was meant for IBM internal purposes. Thus stay tuned. […]

[…] I must say that I not always take advantage of such naps, or siestas, whatever name you would want to make use of, but I tell you something, whenever I can I try to go for one of them and I cannot stress out enough how re-energising they can be. It makes you feel like you could go for the rest of the day with the same energy as in the early morning. I have been trying to go with this tip for quite some time now and it surely makes you feel completely different. In case you haven’t tried it out, you should. I guess this is one of those worth while tips following up on and I am glad that Laura feels the same way as well. I actually found out throughout the years that they are great specially when you are travelling to different conference events with very long and intensive agendas from the early morning till the late evening. There is nothing like a 20 minute nap in the middle of the afternoon to then be able to respond to such demanding events throughout the whole day. I tried it out back again while I was at the TLE event in Madrid and will certainly repeat it in whatever the next event that I may get to attend. And believe me, you should do it, too. You would thank me for it later. […]

7 Ways to Avoid Blogging Burnout…
One of the weblogs that I particularly enjoy reading through is the one from Ken Yamosh over at Technosight. I have been subscribed to it for a number of months now and time and time again there is always something……

[…] Some time ago I mentioned how I was actually going to attend the IBM Professional Technical Leadership Exchange, taking place in Madrid, to give a presentation on one of my favourite topics regarding Knowledge Management: Personal Knowledge Management. Well, this time around I am actually going to the US, Somers, NY, to provide another presentation around that very same subject: Personal KM, next week Monday, from the 10th till the 12th to an IBM internal audience. I will actually be arriving at the Hilton Garden Inn Danbury this coming Friday and will actually be leaving next week Thursday. […]

[…] In last year’s event in Madrid I must confess that the networking opportunities were not as good as I thought they would be. There were very few breaks and too short overall, so when you got quite comfortable with the whole thing you find out that the event is over! This year though things have been quite different. We had plenty of different networking opportunities, with breaks in between keynote and elective sessions of about 45 minutes and plenty of time for lunch, too! And all that without counting the networking events put together after the long day attending different sessions. It looks like the organisers of the event actually acted upon the feedback many of us provided in this respect last year! Great stuff! […]

[…] If over the last couple of days, I have been weblogging about different conference events that rather I would be attending or that I would be interested in attending. Well, here is a third follow up weblog post on another event that I will be making it to and that I am surely going to enjoy quite a bit, since I am already very familiar with it as I attended it last year as well. Yes, I am talking about IBM’s Professional Technical Leadership Exchange, which is going to take place this year in Paris during the course of 21st till 24th of May and which will host several thousand IBM technical and delivery leaders coming from all over the place.
