Small but intense, the KM in the public sector conference was enlightening on a number of fronts.
Paul McDowall presented on the last 10 years of KM in Canadian public sector. Given that senior public officials are rotated every 18-24 months and the organisational changes involved in a full KM programme require 2-5 years, the story was largely one of bursts of activity & brilliance that were unsustained.
There were presentations by James Digges, Paulette Paterson, Craig Delahoy, Suzanne Zyngier & Nicholas Gerhard but the 4 delivered on the morning of the second day resonated with me. The SageCo / Country Energy presentation on managing the exit of baby boomer experts from a technical workforce was cool, as was David Pender's mix of ONA techniques with collaborative climate surveys. Steve Bussey of VicRoads talked about cultivating technical expertise and Kerry Moir's presso on KM in ATO Business Solutions (which included CoPs, lessons learned & narrative) overlaps with a lot of things I have been involved with from a work perspective.
And it was a whole heap of fun co-presenting with Keith De La Rue. Cheers...

Matt -
It was fun! I enjoyed presenting with you, and judging by the feedback - which has just come in today - it looks like others there must have enjoyed it too! Now, how do we arrange to do this again some time? :-)
