Using Tacit and Explicit Information for Productivity

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.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Manufacturing: Securing Institutional Expertise for the Future

The manufacturing sector is at a crossroads. While investments in new technologies and infrastructure are essential, they must also be utilized to preserve and share institutional knowledge. By adopting a comprehensive KM strategy that includes centralized data management, digital innovation, and a culture of knowledge sharing, manufacturers can safeguard their expertise and secure long-term success.

Navigating the IT Landscape: Balancing Hybrid Cloud and Cloud Repatriation to Stay in Control of Your Infrastructure

To secure their data, certain industries have strict regulations regarding data storage, requiring data to be kept in specific geographic locations or under stringent security measures. This is yet another reason for organizations nowadays to switch back to on-prem resources.

Experts predict AI will continue impacting KM in 2025

AI continues to disrupt the knowledge management space and experts in the field predict that it's a trend that still hasn't reached its full potential, yet. In 2025 there's more room for improvement.

Integration impasse: Why organizations can’t wait for data integration before deploying AI

The need for comprehensive data management will always be important, and there are many other benefits of digital transformation, but CIOs don't need to delay GenAI projects until the completion of a giant data centralization effort. By adopting a more flexible approach that incorporates GenAI and next-generation BI tools, businesses can navigate the complexities of modern data ecosystems while driving innovation and maintaining a competitive edge in an AI-driven world.

The Long- and Short-Term Impacts of AI Technologies

A much less-known but arguably more critical tech law is Amara's Law, which states that we tend to overestimate the short-term impact of new technology while underestimating its long-term effects.

Trees, chains, and brains

Today's AI has many different flavors and architectures, along with massive amounts of memory and processing capacity. We could probably make better use of this computational power by looking at how we can improve the quality of our queries and, as a result, make better quality decisions.

Inefficient at the speed of light

While process mining started years ago as a mainly data-driven exercise, its stated goal is to be knowledge-driven. Given KM's multidisciplinary scope, we can play a major role in achieving that goal. Any process, no matter how simple, has the potential to reach across an entire business ecosystem, including all stakeholders. This seems like a perfect match for collaborative workflow, AI/ML, knowledge graphs, human sensemaking, and many of the other arrows in our KM quiver.

The rise and potential fall of the citizen developer

The citizen developer movement was heralded as a revolution. Like most revolutions, things have sometimes gone differently than planned. The logic is sound, empowering those who know the business best to build the tools and systems needed to do their job. Ah, if only things were that simple …
