He has taught and consulted in four continents. A Thought Leader in Knowledge management for a Big Four consulting firm, Bill has helped to pioneer the study of knowledge management not just in Australia but also in the wider region. His influence has extended to the creation of awareness of the value of knowledge in the public and private sectors as well as to research and scholarship. Bill will address knowledge management, in particular about how benefits can be derived by capturing and making corporate memory readily accessible within an organisation and systems by which this can be effectively coordinated.
Dr Joanne Evans recently completed her PhD thesis “Building Capacities for Sustainable Recordkeeping Metadata Interoperability” as part of the Clever Recordkeeping Metadata Project, an ARC Linkage Project between Monash University and other key players in the information management industry. Joanne is currently undertaking further metadata and interoperability research as part of the “Smart Information Portals Project” at the Centre for Organisational and Social Informatics at Monash University, while on secondment from the eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC) at the University of Melbourne. Joanne will talk about her research and address the real technical potential for the ongoing availability, use and re-use of digital information over time.
Stephen Yorke is a Councillor of the Australian Society of Archivists and a Past-President. Stephen has published several papers on professional issues with an emphasis on attitudes to records by organisations and society. He has a particular interest in the future for records, recordkeepers and professional associations. These futures are based on the technology and expectations of society. Also, he has a longtime interest in the process as a whole of medium and long term prediction - including why the predictions generally fail. Stephen will address the issue of the mass global proliferation of digital information and whether it is conceivable to believe that it can be effectively captured, evaluated for long term value, used and managed over time.
