KMWorld 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management 2025

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.

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.

On Chat AI and BS

So, I'm sticking with hallucinations for all of chat AI's statements, true or false. But that leaves us with a question: Why isn't there a word that perfectly expresses this situation? 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.
