This just in! Will Evans and I are putting on a design workshop in San Francisco around the theme of enterprise social search. The workshop will be an all-day affair on Friday May 7 at the Bolt | Peters offices, near the Civic Center.
Detailed information and registration can be found here: http://socialsear.ch
Why Enterprise Social Search?
Knowledge management and information retrieval in large organizations is a huge problem. A number of orgs are making efforts to address these issues; and leveraging social data — or information that people within the company hold — is one promising route.
Why a design workshop?
Although the premise of our workshop is social search in the enterprise, we won’t be satisfied by just writing or thinking about it. We want to bring together the sharpest minds in the enterprise world and mix them with designers, researchers, and IT professionals to come up with some practical solutions that actually could be implemented.
What next?
After our workshop in San Francisco, we’ll take our findings and carry them onto future workshops in Australia and Washington DC — to build upon our ideas and find ways to develop them even further.
Where can I learn more?
You can read more about who we are and what the workshop will entail over at http://socialsear.ch.
Also don’t miss…
…this presentation that we gave at the Enterprise Search Summit last Fall. This presentation gives a flavor of that topics that will be covered in our Enterprise Social Search Design Workshop in San Francisco.
We hope to see you at the workshop!

Man, this sounds really interesting. I’m going to try and figure out if it’s possible for me to make it.
