Get the tools to future proof your business

Posted by on in Information Management, Knowledge Management

Our Director Noeleen Schenk is presenting at the Federation of Small Business event Get the Tools to Future Proof your Business.

The FSB have created this event to help small businesses plan for reopening after lockdown. “As you reopen your business and look to the future make sure you have all the tools to hand to make the most of opportunities as they arise. This event will talk you through some top tips on how to ensure you have all the information you need at your fingertips to ensure you can take the most successful decisions for your business“.

Noeleen will be talking to members about how looking after your information is not just the preserve of larger organisations, but also vitally important for small businesses, and can help them protect their business from unexpected shocks.  The presentation will focus on what they need to consider, in small practical steps. 

Join Noeleen and and Federation of Small Business on Wednesday 19 May 2021, from 10:00 – 11:00. Book here for the online event.

Workshopping the Future of Information and Knowledge Management

Posted by on in Information Management, Knowledge Management

The future is uncertain – it cannot be predicted. However this does not mean we should not be identifying and analysing current developments that point to potential paradigm shifts in how we create, manage and use information and knowledge. These developments fall across the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental spectrum.

Analysing these developments by identify the driving forces will help us consider the future trends we are likely to encounter and the future we would like to create. By having structured and thoughtful speculation about the future, we can begin to prepare for whatever future may arrive. It is one of the important keys to business preparedness.

Noeleen Schenk from Metataxis and Sheila Moorcroft from Realising your Future will be holding a series of invitation-only workshops over the next two months as structured and facilitated conversations to explore the developments and identify the likely trends shaping and changing the generation and application of knowledge and information in strategy and research.

The aim of the workshops will be to:

  • Identify predetermined elements (i.e. will persist in any scenario)
  • Identify the driving forces (i.e. forcing the pace of change such as increased global competition)
  • Decide which are current trends (i.e. current events that are variable)

The outputs of the workshop will be a series of trends which we will then survey participants to assess the impact / likelihood – possibly also an indicative timeframe or other measures for each of the trends, in terms of their relevance and implications for IKM in the next 5-10 years.

The findings will be more widely circulated next year.
