December 9th KM Chicago Meeting Announcement:November 24 2008

Join us on December 9th for our annual KM Chicago holiday meeting.
Wine Expressions' Randy Russell will host an event at our meeting,
scheduled from 5:30-7 PM at the Dow Jones location downtown only (Dow
Jones, One South Wacker Drive, 22nd floor (corner of Wacker and
Madison).)

As he have done in the past, Randy will present 6-7 wines and an
associated food paired with each wine. He will give a brief
description of the grape, region, producer and why we paired it with
the particular food. There will be a combination of white and red
wines. He will answer questions about the wines and try to address
any other wine questions that arise. Additionally we would like to
enlist your ideas for topics for next year's meetings. To encourage
your ideas, we'll set up topic areas so that we can gather your ideas
and also to encourage informal sharing and conversations re: what's
on everyone's plates these days.

The cost for the event will be $20, same as last year. We would like
your RSVPs by Friday, 5 December so we can plan for the food.
Collection will be on the night, cash or checks payable to Wine
Expressions.

Apologies for the late notice, but we hope you can still join us to hear IBM’s Bill Learned present how IBM uses social computing (i.e., profiles and social networks, blogs, wikis, tag clouds, etc.) within their enterprise, and the value they derive from using those tools. IBM’s implementations of Web 2.0 technologies, including Lotus Mashups and Lotus Connections has been in the KM news a lot this past year. It should be interesting to get a perspective on what they are doing and how these implementations are going directly from the source.

Bill Learned, IBM - Lotus Collaboration Sales Leader for Central Region, started with IBM in 1997 as the Senior Lotus Systems Consultant for General Motors, DaimlerChrylser and Delphi Automotive and held global responsibility for the IBM/Lotus technical relationship with those IBM customers. Starting July of 2000 Bill joined the Lotus World Wide Technology Advocate Group and deliver

September 9 Meeting NoticeAugust 29 2008

In August we heard from Yuval Tarsi concerning the Web 2.0 capabilities and how the company he helped found, Worklite, plays in that space. In September we will get another perspective on Web 2.0 from Chuck Pendell from Connectbeam. Chuck writes “Enterprise users of Web 2.0 technologies are creating new information silos of valuable user generated content which cannot be widely accessed. Connectbeam Spotlight enables the capture and management of this content into a single repository, making it easy to share across the entire organization. As a result, employees gain immediate access to knowledge and expertise which previously they never even knew existed.” Chuck will discuss the issues, demonstrate his product and engage the group in questions and answers.

Chuck Pendell is Vice President of Sales for Connectbeam. Chuck brings more than two decades of high tech sales and management experience to Connectbeam. Most recently, he was VP of Sales for Active Decisions; a consumer product guided selling technology. Active Technologies was acquired by Knova. His career includes sales and management positions with Burroughs/Unisys, Saros/Filenet, Action Technologies, Movaris, and Selectica (NASDAQ: SLTC), where he built the worldwide sales and field support team from three members to over 100, resulting in the highly successful Selectica IPO in March of 2000.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Chuck graduated from Washington State University with a BS i

“In years gone by the physical plant and equipment were the assets to be guarded. Now, increasingly, our most valuable assets walk out the door at five o'clock every day. Though the workers leave the machines and computers behind when they go home, they take the experience and skill-sets with them. If they don't come back, we're in deep trouble.” From http://goliath. ecnext.com/ coms2/gi_ 0199-89466/ Real-assets- walk-out- the.html.

How do organizations identify and deal with capturing and retaining knowledge from employees who are retiring or leaving? Join SLA Illinois and KM Chicago members for an exploration of this important issue and how information professionals can play a relevant role within their organiza
