One of the strongest driving forces for launching an initiative to capture tacit knowledge is to ensure that institutional knowledge is not lost as people retire or resign. Another is for succession planning and organizational growth. Lack of succession planning results in loss of knowledge. It undermines organizational stability and impedes innovation.

The importance of innovation and creativity in KM cannot be overstated. In many respects, AI and other emerging technologies have cemented the importance of KM within organizations, making KM a "must have" rather than a "nice-to-have" vehicle for knowledge sharing and organizational success. Companies on this list are wonderful examples of how they help organizations unlock the power of knowledge. They stand out in the KM field, and we applaud their accomplishments.

The Knowledge Age we've been talking about for so long has finally arrived. The potential for scarcity is real, but so is the potential for overflowing abundance. Let's bring every tool in our KM arsenal to bear, along with our decades of experience, and help make it happen.

History tells us that industrial revolutions ultimately do create more jobs, but that the transition period is long and highly turbulent. Thus, when we see resistance in the workplace to AI and automation in general, we should acknowledge that the resistance and fear are well-grounded.

AI's favoring of induction over deduction is the root of its power, for it lets it deal with the specifics that bedevil the application of broad major premises.
