Should we go back to paper-based KM?
13 Mar 2024
The sheer volume of largely useless data we have accumulated across the years severely limits the ability of AI to work well, and it comes at a heavy environmental and financial cost.
AI technologies upending traditional KM
08 May 2023
If we are not careful and proactive about it, the concept and importance of knowledge itself may soon become blurred or lost.
Return on … Infrastructure???
08 Mar 2023
As our physical and IT infrastructure continues to grow in size, complexity, and vulnerability, people and the knowledge they possess will play an ever-increasing role.
The undiscovered country
03 Nov 2022
Capturing and sharing what you already know is good; and with today's data and text analytics tools, it has become much easier than when we'd first begun this journey.
The human capability to under-or overestimate
03 Nov 2022
Yet maybe the most glaring example of underestimating humans we encounter in our work is in the world of AI. It's partly the term "intelligence" in AI that misleads so many, as AI is not intelligent in the same way that humans are intelligent. Though powerful, AI ultimately matches patterns it has learned, and even the smartest of AI systems is limited in how many patterns it can match and make sense of.
Finding the weakest link
07 Jul 2022
Though traditional and often reluctant to change, the supply chain sector is now reassessing its lack of embrace of technology and, significantly, rethinking long-established processes.
Dispatches from the edge
07 Jul 2022
Edge-of-chaos decisioning means being continually informed on the critical elements needed to make better, faster decisions.
The way of the scenario
05 Nov 2021
The Delphi technique has become less effective in recent years, especially in crisis situations in which conditions, assumptions, and other variables are changing faster than the group is able to respond.
From robots to digital workers
05 Nov 2021
As more firms use the term "digital workers" in place of bots, a spotlight is being shone on the role, importance, and increasing controversy surrounding enterprise automation.
The big opportunity for knowledge management
08 Sep 2021
It may well be stating the obvious but we will not be returning to the old ways of working, even though some of us, myself included (as it turns out, I am in the minority), would like to.
Making the jump to hyperdrive
08 Sep 2021
The new, all-digital workforce will be made from a combination of AI, machine learning, computer vision, naturallanguage understanding, robotics, and more.
How we innovate matters
05 May 2021
Just as nobody was fooled by the arguments used to justify offshoring and outsourcing business processes, they should also not be misled by the furious energy behind automation, be it in the form of RPA or even AI.
Decentralized knowledge management
05 Nov 2020
Decentralization, though a boon to technology vendors, poses a unique set of challenges and risks for information and knowledge managers to grapple with.
Thinking about KM differently
15 Sep 2020
Moving to a push rather than a pull mentality simply means that we now have the technology to tag, manage, and interpret information automatically and near instantly—automatically pushing the right information to the right person (or application) at the right time.
Thinking beyond the status quo
07 Jul 2020
The technologies exist today to achieve almost any corporate or departmental goal. What is lacking is the nerve to think big and think beyond the status quo—to break barriers, to collaborate, and to share.
Building the enterprise of the future: If not now, when ?
07 Jul 2020
It should be plainly clear that we need knowledge management now more than ever. You can be sure that the COVID-19 crisis won't be the last crisis to come our way. And the next one might be even more severe because our supporting systems have taken some serious hits.
Deep project management
09 Mar 2020
Given the increased negative media exposure that comes from project failure, organizations need more tightly integrated, intelligent project management systems, in addition to people who have the requisite skills. This need will grow as systems continue to become more complex and timelines more tightly compressed.
How robotic is your process ?
01 Nov 2019
To break out of the structured process world, RPA will need to address the full range of cognitive computing capabilities.
Flipping data science
06 Sep 2019
No matter how much "intelligence" is programmed into a computer, it will very likely never understand the results it produces. Doing so takes human cognition, intuition, judgment, and other ways we humans make sense out of data.
Critical capacities for navigating in turbulent times
01 May 2018
To navigate better in severe turbulence, three critical capacities are needed: foresight, agility and resilience. Those capacities have always been fundamental to sustaining high performance in knowledge-based organizations. But during times of turbulence, they need to be operating at peak levels.
