I've done a few 15-30 minute presentations on LO/Knowledge
management/Managing change. A fairly common basic outline would be:

- Increasing pace of change
- Knowledge redundancy
- Nature of knowledge workers - motivation, vision stuff
- Creating the necessary kind of organisation - attitude/behaviour
development, LO type skills, processes to encourage the "new" way of
working.

Sometimes I touch on recruitment policies. Do we recruit potato slicers or
do we recruit people who can learn to do something else when we buy a
machine.

An overall thought. One of the basics of preparing any presentation is
asking "What do I want the audience to do at the end?" There is so much
that could go into a knowledge management presentation that asking this
question first is critical to defining the content.
