While I haven’t posted on this site for some time – I have to admit to being a bit lazy about keeping it up to date. I have been doing some fascinating work in the information and knowledge management sectors which has led me to now working with a wonderful new company called Organic Intelligence.
Organic Intelligence is the brainchild of Hamid Soltani and Associate Professor Anthony Bedford.
Organic Intelligence is a set of principles and management practices designed to provide essential wisdom and perspectives to organisations on how to view their business complexities and develop necessary capabilities for measuring and managing them. Such a body of knowledge provides organisations with the required intelligence to help them organically self-regulate and sustainably deal with their competing needs and their diverse stakeholders’ expectations.
Organic Intelligence is a collaborative organisation specialising in niche management advisory services, education and custom implementation of focused solutions for the measurement, optimisation and enablement of complex business capabilities and behaviours.
Through such services, they enable organisations to sustainably balance their financial and non-financial operating perspectives and holistically meet their strategic visions. They apply a multidisciplinary approach to our client’s needs and ensure every organisational problem is considered within the context of the client’s specific operating domain, systemic influences, behavioural factors and statistical lenses.

On Wednesday morning this week I was fortunate to have the opportunity to facilitate a World Cafe as part of the Institute for Information Management conference and Information Awareness Month here in Canberra. This was a fantastic experience and the 35+ participants came away with some really meaty foundations for the development of a Community of Practice around Information Governance.
So what is a World Cafe (or variation called a Knowledge Cafe) – it is:
A structured round of conservations to:
- Create an open, creative conversation on a topic of mutual interest
- Unearth collective knowledge to share ideas and insights
- gain a deeper understanding of the subject and the issues involved
- build and improve relationships
- improve business networking and make new connections
- better decision making and innovation
- generate tangible outcomes
Why Information Governance? This is a topic which is often not fully appreciated in organisations and is ‘the set of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, procedures, processes and controls implemented to manage information on all media in such a way that it supports an organisation’s immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, environmental and operational requirements. Wikipedia.’
The topics covered by each table included:
- Objectives / mission / goals / length of life
- Rules / protocols / etiquette
- Format and frequency of meetings
- Virtual or physical or both?
- How the CoP would be governed and coordinated?
- What would be the topics covered?
- What would our online presence look like?
- How do we know if its working or not?
- Criteria for disbandment
This is a great way to get your Community of Practice started as it engages those who are interested and provides a sound foundation for going forward by setting out what it is you are trying to achieve as well as the risks along the way.
To everyone in my network I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas (or any other festival you might be celebrating at this time of year) and a fantastic New Year. May 2011 see all your dreams come true.
I am embedding a funny little clip on what the first Christmas may have looked like in 2010.
