Slides created in June 2003. This version published in February 2004
On June 18th 2003 I gave a talk
titled "Introducing Weblogs in Organisations" at David Gurteen's First Knowledge Conference. These are some of the slides I used in my presentation. David Gurteen has also published some materials I put together for the listeners of my talk.
As usual for my talks, the slides don't tell very much by themselves. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!

Slide 2: The Agenda of my talk. First, I told the story of how I got started with Weblogs. Then, I showed the audience how they could get started personally. Finally, I explained how they could get their organisation to start blogging and summed up with the benefits that that would bring.

Slide 6: Before this slide, I had shown different Weblogs. I know explain, what all these very differently looking sites had in common.

Slide 7: The title says it all. Understand this about Weblogs and you will understand everything else.

Slide 13: Different Mediums in which Bloggers and Blog-Readers converse with eachother.

Slide 14: Why I blog.

Slide 21: Emphasing the importance of linking. Blogs without links are not interesting.

Slide 23: There are two ways to get started in an organisation: The official way or The Guerilla way. This one produced more laughter that I had expected.

Slide 24: Things you should do when starting with blogs in an organisation. Helping the boss is important. Bosses are always last when it comes to new technology. And you don't want your boss to be last. Because bosses don't like to be last.

Slide 27: Summing up: Why should organisations use weblogs? Three Bullet points. There are more reasons, but managers can only count up to three. And it was time for lunch anyway.
