KM and IT Find Collaboration Productive

IT plays a role in providing a port of entry for customer service solutions and for integrating them with the various repositories that form the knowledgebase. After that point, most KM solutions can be configured and managed by subject matter experts. But the infrastructure on which they are built, whether SaaS or on-prem, must provide the capacity and speed required to deliver their potential.

Knowledge Management Opinions & Analysis

A Glorious Victory for KM!

That AI has proven itself to be a revolutionary knowledge tool paints a different picture of the world itself. For millennia, we in the West counted as the highest knowledge the bedrock beliefs that ground the certainty of the layers of lesser knowledge that rest upon them. While the success of our culture proves the value of this approach in some critical areas, the rapid advances in knowledge enabled by machine learning based in multidimensional models that are too complex for us to understand remind us of what we've always already known:Our world overwhelms our smidgeon of consciousness. And there's no shame in acknowledging that. In fact, it is genuinely liberating to embrace the fact that the world consists of particulars in infinite relationships, and that we pay a price when we sand down the distinctive differences among them.

Bringing Knowledge Out of the Shadows

We can only wonder how many breakthrough ideas remain undiscovered simply because the right pieces did not fall into place. What better way to make those connections happen by design, rather than by chance, than for KM to provide the missing interstitial scaffolding?

Why Knowledge Management Needs a Quantum Reboot for the Agentic AI Age

By embracing a quantum approach, we can create an organization that is genuinely adaptive and intelligent. Agents, freed from the shackles of classical KM, can roam our knowledge graphs, identifying emergent patterns and unexpected connections that no human ever could. They can see that the support ticket trend and the new feature request in the sales call are actually the same particle, just observed in different contexts.

Humans in Loops, Flows, and Dialogues

I think we are entering—possibly are already in—the era of humans in the dialogue with AI, discovering our values, getting more specific about them, and altering their applications based on the specifics of our world and situation. If the old KM was about building, organizing, sharing, and leveraging knowledge, the new KM might also be about mastering the dialogue: using AI not just to retrieve our answers, but to help us finally articulate the right questions.
