    Dear OB members,

    We will be hosting a Professional Development Workshop on Innovative Idea Management at the AOM meeting in Boston. We hope you will consider attending!

    Who should attend: Scholars at all levels who would like to either learn from others' use of technology in managing their ideas or who would like to share their own approaches.

    Why: As technology grows and our resources for managing scholarly ideas grow, our field can benefit from scholars coming together to share ideas for how to make the most out of the available resources.

    When: Friday, August 3rd, 10:15-1:45pm.

    Technological tools pervade our academic work lives, but we rarely get to see how colleagues incorporate these tools into their everyday work flow. This session will focus on sharing techniques for managing thoughts in the academic writing process. Presenters will demonstrate their own adaptation of various tools (e.g. note taking programs, citation managers, concept mapping technologies, task management resources, etc.) and discuss how these play into the larger work flow. All participants will then engage in table discussions on a specific aspect of the writing process, sharing their own approaches and brainstorming new possibilities for leveraging technology in service of that aspect of their work. Each table will then report out to the larger group. This PDW offers scholars a chance to build a collective knowledge store from which individual scholars can select and tailor ideas according to their own writing needs.

    Search Terms:Writing , Research Process , Knowledge Sharing

    Registration is not required, but in order to  focus large and small group discussions within the PDW we ask that potential participants reflect on the questions below and email responses Tiffany Schroeder (tds38@case.edu) responses no later than July 15th, 2012: 

    1.      What system (could include use of technological tools, paper-based systems, or some combination) are you currently using to organize thoughts/ideas/article notes for use in the writing process?

    a.       What about this system works well for you?

    b.      How would you like to refine or enhance your system or use of systems?

    2.      How do you manage the storage and retrieval of your ideas while working on a paper?

    3.      What would you like to learn in this session?


    We look forward to seeing you in Boston!
