2024 Readers' Choice Award- BEST AI - DOMO- Empower Your Business with Secure, Flexible, and Conversational AI

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.

Why ubiquitous AI will mean more, not fewer, white-collar jobs

Solving PDF form challenges and boosting workflow automation

What organizations that depend on dynamic documents really need are solutions that work seamlessly across all platforms. This way, organizations can eliminate compatibility issues and reduce most—if not all—of the costs that are associated with restricted formats.

The answer is easy: LLMs are doing something genuinely new in our history. Our lack of a perfectly apt verb proves it.

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 …
