KM & Enterprise Intelligence: Human or Artificial?

The human side of knowing has always been at the center of enterprise KM intelligence, programs, and strategies. As AI and other technological innovations transform the way we learn, collaborate, and innovate, people are still key to knowledge sharing and bringing opportunities to excel within enterprise processes and operations. Join colleagues, thought leaders, and practitioners as we explore advances in neuroscience and cognitive thinking, pattern recognition and visualization, new AI and technology-enhanced KM applications, and more. Hear stories from leading KM’ers of their innovative breakthroughs and learning experiences as they steer their organizations into the future. See how KM aligns with the CEO agenda moving forward to deal with governance and sustainability, SDGs (U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals), disruptions from many global and natural places, workforce and workplace changes, technology revolutions, and more. KMWorld 2024 addresses the human and technology factors of collaboration and knowledge augmentation via AI, the sharing and reuse of knowledge with new tools, the human roles that are even more important than the tools, and the hybrid workplace shift in traditional organizations, with an emphasis on strategic versus operational knowledge—understanding and aligning with the big organizational or community picture, leadership skills driving knowledge adoption and reuse, especially from outside the organization such as the environmental and sustainability movement. KMWorld features new, creative, knowledge-sharing tools and techniques as well as human strategies that have an impact on all types of organizations and communities. Join us, and take home exciting insights and ideas to apply in your environment or community.

This year’s KMWorld conference shares stories of innovative breakthroughs and learning experiences from KM practitioners as they steer their organizations into the future. Our speakers share how to experience greater joy from KM by achieving these types of results:

  • More “Aha!” moments and breakthroughs that come from unleashing the knowledge hiding deep in your workforce
  • More knowledge sharing when people begin to feel that their voices are finally being heard
  • Boosting employee satisfaction and retention, bringing more people together, including giving a boost to your DEI goals
  • Leaps in productivity and innovation that are possible when people and automation, especially AI, work seamlessly together
  • Fewer repeated mistakes and less “reinventing the wheel”
  • Savings and finding new ways to create, deliver, receive, and grow extraordinary value

KMWorld 2024 and its co-located events—Taxonomy Boot Camp, Enterprise Search & Discovery, Text Analytics Forum, and Enterprise AI World—showcase organizations that have creative digital solutions for their future, are allowing experimental and risk-taking processes to inform their practices, have made solid progress in changing the culture of their enterprises, and know how to utilize AI and other technology in practical and useful ways to charge forward in their industries.

Come share your experience and techniques that illustrate knowledge sharing in action for exceptional innovation and bottom-line success in any type of organization.
