    Jeanne Holm

    Cross-agency collaboration

    Federal Computer Week will present Jeanne Holm, chief knowledge architect at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 28, where she will discuss how technology can be used to increase innovation and collaboration within government agencies.

    In the past few months, the government has accelerated its adoption of Web 2.0 tools. Much emphasis has been given to public-facing blogs, but government agencies are equally focused on enhancing their internal communications. While security concerns remain a barrier to adoption, several agencies have embraced collaboration tools, tapping the ideas and insights of their workforce and creating new spaces for dialogue and engagement.  

    This presentation will address:

    • Tools and technologies currently being used;
    • The importance of providing access to common platforms across the agency;
    • The role of culture and change-management in fostering collaboration;
    • How to find ways to engage the public and facilitate an open exchange of ideas;
    • Barriers to collaboration – including security concerns – and best-practices for overcoming them; and
    • Creative solutions that NASA has employed – such as holding meetings in SecondLife – to explore the future of collaboration.

    Senior technology editor Rutrell Yasin will moderate the eSeminar.

    Following the presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. The entire eSeminar will be made available in an online archive.

    All 1105 Government Information Group eSeminars are free of charge.
