Oklahoma State University in Tulsa will host an innovative symposium Oct. 3-4 to offer practical insights on integrating Knowledge Management and Project Management. The “KPM Symposium” is one of the first to treat Knowledge and Project Management as an integrated whole and identify practical strategies and processes from both public and private sectors
Professionals from industry and academia will come together to explore recent developments, emerging trends and cutting edge research. Researchers, practitioners, students, end users and system developers are encouraged to attend and consider presenting their work at this unique event.
“In over 35 years of practicing and teaching repeatable processes for Project Management and Requirements Engineering, nothing has captured my attention like the Knowledge Management movement,” said Chuck Tryon of Tryon and Associates. “I am so convinced that this is the vehicle to bring the other topics to the corporate front page that I am now engaged in graduate work on this topic.”
Organizers of the symposium are the Green Country Knowledge and Information Professionals Society (GC-KIP) and the Project Management Institute (PMI) Tulsa Chapter with support and collaboration from OSU’s Department of Management Information Systems and the Institute of Research in Information Systems in Stillwater, the University of Oklahoma, the University of Tulsa and Northeastern State University.
“OSU has a number of projects underway in knowledge management as well as project management, and this event will help us introduce them to a broad public-private audience,” said Ramesh Sharda, Regents Professor and director of IRIS/MSIS at OSU-Stillwater.
“Several of my colleagues are actively engaged in research in data mining, knowledge management for military, and visualization in project management. We look forward to sharing our research with colleagues from other universities as well as our industry friends.”
“Hosting this event is another example of our department’s initiatives to meet the intellectual power demands of our industry partners,” said Rick Wilson, Head of the Department of Management Science and Information Systems at OSU-Stillwater.
Symposium topics will include knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer between projects, departments and organizations, lesson learned and best practices in both KM and PM, knowledge asset management, using project reviews to support the learning organization, modern approaches to Project Management, PM and KM tools and technologies, scalability of PM and KM, from the personal level to the enterprise level, Knowledge Management practices, KM and PM competencies and career development, and current and future issues in PM and KM.
Conference registration is reasonably priced and limited to 350 people, including speakers and vendors. Go to www.kpmsymposium.org for more information. Sponsorships for the event are available, contact Chuck with Tryon and Associates at (918) 455-3300.
