Please excuse duplicate postings. Good afternoon, everyone, On Thursday, February 20, at 12 noon EST Kent State University will resume its KM@KSU Webinar Series with a presentation by Brian Moon. Brian will talk about Knowledge Elicitation: Advantages and Challenges. This is a critical topic for those organizations who are faced with waves of retirements, with high staff mobility and with general loss of expert knowledge. Abstract: Knowledge elicitation (KE) is a skill-based process for helping experts articulate what they know. Applications of KE include knowledge preservation, front-end system design, and the development of instructional content and assessment criteria. The benefits of KE have been realized for decades, across hundreds of domains. This webinar will discuss the advantages and challenges of employing KE in KM settings. For those of you who do not yet know Brian, he is the co-founder of Perigean Technologies. Brian helps organizations improve through smarter use of their own knowledge, and improve the way knowledge moves through organizations. He uses Applied Concept Mapping and methods of naturalistic inquiry across a spectrum of knowledge management problems, from the elicitation, assessment and representation of knowledge, to the development of models, content, software and innovative training that enable its transfer. Brian has conducted R&D activities in the fields of naturalistic decision making and macrocognition, knowledge modeling, visualization techniques, technology evaluations, workplace design, and expert performance. Professor Moon has also designed interactive visualization frameworks, workplace configuration for analytic fusion centers, developed metrics to evaluate cognitive impact of information technologies on intelligence analysis, qualitative methodologies, and the design and facilitation of electronic decision games. He has been an active leader in promoting human-centric computing in the intelligence community, co-chairing the Friends of the Intelligence Community (IC) - a community of practice for cognitive systems engineers supporting the IC. In addition to his ground-breaking work at Perigean Technologies, Professor Moon is also a part-time faculty member in the Information Architecture and Knowledge Management program at Kent State University. At Kent, he teaches two courses - Knowledge Elicitation and Expertise Management, and Business Narrative and Storytelling. Join us Thursday at 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time.
