Further to our previous post, here is the detail on Dave Snowden’s presentation next week:
In the complex environment of the current business world, leaders often will be called upon to act against their instincts. They will need to know when to share power and when to wield it alone, when to look to the wisdom of the group and when to take their own counsel.
A deep understanding of context, the ability to embrace complexity and paradox, and a willingness to flexibly change leadership style will be required for leaders who want to make things happen in a time of increasing uncertainty.
Hear more at this session featuring Dave Snowden of Cognitive Edge, and network with knowledge practitioners.

A few items of interest:
Melbourne KMLF LinkedIn Group
As you should have seen from your latest group email, we have now set up a LinkedIn group to provide an additional channel for knowledge sharing between members. If you haven’t already joined the group, please click here to apply. Feel free to add news articles or other items of interest to the group to share with everyone, or let us know what news feeds you would like to see. (Thanks to Luke Grange for setting this up!)
The Australian Collaboration Software Report
Are you currently using collaborative software, or are you planning to acquire it? Would you like to benchmark your experience against that of others? Are you based in Australia? Please fill out the survey at http://tinyurl.com/ozcollab now! (If this is not relevant to you, you may like to pass it on to any colleagues that may be interested.)
Matt Moore of Innotecture and I are currently researching the use of collaboration tools in Australia. “Collaboration” is a buzz term at the moment, and we want to get behind the hype to discover how organisations are selecting and implementing tools and whether they are benefiting from them. If you have experience with selecting, implementing or maintaining a collaboration tool within the last 12 months, then we would like you to take part in this survey.
Read more about the survey on the OzCollab blog here; and our preliminary findings here.
