Technology to connect people and knowledge

The ability to centralize the knowledge found in the distributed tools, repositories, and databases for KM practitioners is the defining characteristic of today's technologies. Generative machine learning models not only play pivotal roles in managing that knowledge to make it meaningful to users, but also in enabling them to interface with it on-demand, for ad-hoc use cases.

KMWorld Trend-Setting Products of 2024

It's clear from the increase in new and exciting products designed for KM practitioners that KM is gaining in importance within organizations and being recognized as critical to the success of enterprises.

With content playing a direct role in business growth, enterprises must find ways to modernize their content operations and knowledge management infrastructure, particularly with AI, to support business objectives, the needs of customers, and ability to win in their market.

Taxonomies: Foundational to knowledge management

As the volume of digital content increases, the ability to manage it becomes more important. Taxonomy and metadata are vital to finding products, conducting scientific research, and keeping track of organizational information. They also enable a wide variety of analytics on unstructured data. We can see the results of a well-designed taxonomy, but behind the scenes, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

How (and when) to update your KM strategy

Ensuring that KM endeavors support different access points, systems, and user preferences is a prime consideration for updating KM strategies. Vendors may also supply newfound capabilities (which an organization previously hadn't had access to) that warrant updating a KM strategy to avail organizations of new possibilities.

Using Generative AI for real-world KM solutions

The overarching utility derived from GenAI capabilities relies on organizations' proficiency to reduce redundancy to minimize inaccuracies, monitor outputs, and trace responses to the underlying data sources from which their responses are produced.

The future of KM is not simply AI

Until KM systems can achieve trust in AI, a totally AI-centric workplace will be a fantasy. The future of KM will be based on collaborative work habits, fueled by technology that encourages knowledge sharing, enhances productivity, supports employees to have a healthy work life, and accepts that not every aspect of knowledge management is technology-reliant.

Now, generative AI has rendered these constructs much more accessible to the enterprise. Its long-standing utility will be determined by surmounting models' tendencies to generate contrived, inaccurate responses while embedding them into core KM processes.
