Thank You!!

For all those who attend the KPM Symposium today and yesterday, thank you so much! For those who volunteered your valuable time and attention, you deserve extra thanks. Thanks to our sponsors Cincom and OSU (Spears School of Business/MSIS/IRIS). Thanks also to our four collaborating universities, OU, OSU, TU and NSU. Finally, the greatest thanks go to our speakers who provided such wonderful and thoughtful content. I was delighted to see the number of times that speakers referred to each other's presentations -- it was evidence of knowledge sharing in action. At the end of conference today, there was a well-attended Knowledge Cafe, conducted by co-chairs Chuck Tryon and Suliman Hawamdeh. It was a very interactive session where we discussed how to implement project-focused KM initiatives, among other topics. You'll hear more about that in the weeks to come.
In short, I think we had a great two-day conference, and we now we know how to make the KPM Symposium 2008 even better. One more time......Thank You!
