Friday, 24th June 2022, 9am – 10am
Dave Snowden
Director & Founder - The Cynefin CentreCSO - The Cynefin Company
Understanding risk under conditions of inherent uncertainty
In this presentation he will draw on the EU field guide to example questions how we measure and manage risk under conditions of inherent uncertainty where our predictive capacity is limited. He will explore key ideas from the field guide, including the use of human sensor networks for weak signal detection and the generation of anticipatory triggers to draw human attention to outliers that they would normally ignore.
Snowden is the founder of one of the five schools of sense-making, and takes an approach which draws heavily on natural science, in particular complex adaptive systems theory, cognitive neuroscience and the biological end of anthropology. He is the creator of the Cynefin framework and lead author of the recently published EU Field Guide to managing complexity (and chaos). He is the author of Complex Acts of Knowing which is in the top ten of cited papers in knowledge management and is a visiting Chair at the Centre of Systems Studies at the University of Hull.
Friday, 24th June 2022, 11:30am – 12:30am
Prof. Dr. Susanne Durst
Professor of Management, Department of BusinessAdministration, Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia)
Don't forget the knowledge risks in conjunction with the green transformation
Research on knowledge risks, their consequences and potential ways of handling them is underdeveloped in general. Consequently, an understanding of its link with green transformation is missing too. Taking into account the emerging need for a green transformation, the keynote introduces knowledge risks from the perspective of green transformation and provides some possible solutions of handling those risks in organizations.
Susanne Durst is a Full Professor of Entrepreneurship at Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia, and Full Professor of Business Administration at the University of Skovde, Sweden. She holds a doctorate in Economics from Paris-Sud University, France. Her research interests include small business management, knowledge (risk) management, responsible digitalization and sustainable business development. She has been conducting several national and international research projects on knowledge (risk) management, SME business transfers, innovation management and learning. Her work has been recognised through different awards, including an Emerald Literati Award in 2020, and has been published in international peer-reviewed journals. Before joining academia, she worked with private organizations of different sizes and industries.

The 17th ICKM will be hosted in Potsdam, the capital city of the State of Brandenburg, next to Berlin. Potsdam is one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage site with several "Palaces and Parks" and Sanssouci Park as one most popular destinations - a must visit place.
Potsdam is also known as the German Dream Factory with the Studio Babelsberg dating back over 100 years shooting blockbusters like Grand Budapest Ho Inglorious Basterds and Bridge of Spies.
Finally, those interested in the history of the Cold War Cold War could explore Cecilienhof Country House, the venue of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, Glienicker Bridge, the real bridge of Spies as well as former prisons in the so called "forbidden city" run by the Soviet Military Counterintelligence Service or the Lindenstraße Memorial Site preserving the memory of victims of he Soviet occupation, the Nazi dictatorship and the Socialist Unity Party regime of former East Germany.

Call for Papers
At the time of writing this Call-for-Papers most of us are sitting at home in our home offices undertaking research projects and teaching our students with online tools. All stakeholders have had to adapt quickly and had to master changes which sometimes happened on a weekly basis. The global dimension of this pandemic and the fight undertaken by the different actors have evolved nearly in real-time given the global media coverage. While this pandemic came within days and weeks around the globe, another change is more subtle and even more hidden to direct human perception except those who are affected directly at the moment by the change of the climate in different regions.
From both developments we can see how the gathering of data, its transformation into information and the development of knowledge as well as the discussions about the 'right' actions are difficult processes with several iterations and setbacks on very different levels in society. From individual behavior towards organizational behavior national and international or global behaviors, all levels are interwoven and interdependent. Finally, this crisis shows us the uncertainties and risks we face as individuals, as organizations and as society if we don't have the right information and knowledge or we don't believe the information and knowledge provided by authorities and other stakeholders.
Therefore, the overall theme of the 17th edition of the ICKM conference will be on “Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale” at different levels of analysis and agency.
