People Driving Knowledge Sharing: Innovation, Resilience & Agility

In a challenging global environment, knowledge sharing is even more critical for successful and sustainable organizations. They require resilience, agility and flexibility in navigating and supporting hybrid workplaces and spaces as they face the new realities of our world. And it’s the people in those organizations that drive knowledge sharing. KMers have risen to the challenge by harnessing innovative strategies, new technology and tools to enable knowledge sharing in our new hybrid working reality as well as our global economic, social and climatic challenges. This year’s KMWorld shares stories of innovative breakthroughs and learning experiences from KM practitioners as they steer their organizations into the future. It also considers how KM aligns with the CEO agenda moving forward to deal with the challenges ahead: inflations, supply chain issues, stock crash, push to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and SDGs (UN’s Sustainable Development Goals), political disruptions, COVID-19, workforce staffing issues, workplace changes, and more. KMWorld 2022 addresses: the human and technology factors of collaboration and knowledge augmentation via AI, the sharing and re-use of knowledge with new tools, the human roles that are even more important than the tools, the hybrid workplace shift in traditional organizations, emphasis on strategic versus operational knowledge – understanding and aligning with the big organizational or community picture, leadership skills driving knowledge adoption and re-use especially from outside the organization like 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.

KMWorld and its co-located events Taxonomy Boot Camp, Enterprise Search & Discovery, and Text Analytics Forum 2022, showcase organizations who 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.

Be a speaker at KMWorld 2022 by sharing your experience and techniques for the 26th annual conference, People Driving Knowledge Sharing: Innovation, Resilience & Agility, and illustrate knowledge sharing in action for exceptional innovation and bottom line success in any type of organization.
